They didn't say the Nissan needs a V8, just that a lot of American consumers want one (which seems to be the case...). They did say the next gen needs to have a bit more punch to compete with the more torque cars, which is undoubtedly true.

The 2+2 thing isn't a deal breaker for me personally, but again, I can see where this will be fine for someone pre-family and then not so good after.

I dunno, all in all, I think those three points are all fair.

If they make the Z a 100 lbs lighter, notch up performance a smidge with either a turbo 4 or NA 6, add two faux rear seats. and keep the price in the same ball park, I think it will be a winner.
