I think the Z is small enough for me. Not sure I would pick this up. I would rather stay with an icon in Japan and the US.

Can't wait to see this end product though. I bet most Americans will be unable to fit in it. Also, at that price, something's got to give.... With the Z people say it was NVH, I wonder what it will be with this.

I don't know... if this car had the STI engine and cost 30-35k I would trust it more. Also, it is suppose to be under the Scion brand. Something seems off to me...

All that said, I would not be surprised to see the Z go down the turbo 4 route like the next BMW 1M coupe will do. Lightweight, high-revving turbo 4; that or price will go into the 40s for the next Z.
