The 370Z is in its seventh model year so Nissan has to be thinking about the future of the Z car. So, there have been all kinds of rumors out there about what the next Z will be. The latest thing I've read from June '15 is that they want to go down market and try to compete with the Miata, FRS, BRZ and get back to the affordable sports car that was the original Z concept. This would mean dropping the weight and engine size, probably using the Joke's (er, I mean Juke's) 1.8L 4-cylinder with a turbo to make around 200 HP. I'm wondering what this forum thinks about a lighter, cheaper, less powerful platform, or, do you think Nissan should slap in a V8 or Turbo V6 and go up with more muscle? I was kinda hoping to see a 450Z myself.
