You dont have to look much further than JDM versions of past Nissans for much of these items. Not terribly unrealistic however market in US probably doesnt support these types of options like Japan or Europe would.

The PDK option on Porsches is a $1600 option. Japanese manufactures have always been good at developing similar technologies at cheaper price than their German counterparts. I would bet that PDK like shifting system is coming soon. Heck Mitsubishi already has one on the EVO.

I'm sure that because of fuel standards Nissan is already looking at ways to lighten the car.
