Nothing more on that needs to be said. It's obvious which direction the masses are pushing car manufacturers. It doesn't make it right, but it's the way things are going. On the upside, in another ten years my car will be theft proof since no one will know how to drive a manual.

As for the amount of Nismo's they will sell etc the fact is the Nismo will become more like the Sti or MR evo not limited edition more of just a version like the track model 350z. If the new z isnt reduced in weight they have an epic failure on their hands. I remember seeing the 370z which was to be a downsized 350z but then they somehow come out heavier. We don't need 14 inch rotors, a million metal braces, use .ore aluminum and shave the weight down. I assume I will be driving the next supra. I can't see Nissan making an intelligent move here.

Also I wouldn't say completely theft proof. Z gods forbid someone jacks your Z, but they could burn your clutch to bits. |

The Infiniti Q50 Eau Rouge Is The GT-R Sedan We've Always Wanted
2014 Infiniti Q50 Gains Turbocharged Four-Cylinder Engine In China Looks like the Z is going down in engine size and adding a turbo, while Infiniti gets the GT-R (minus the transmission though).

sadly it'll probably sell more because if they do the 4cyl it means they want the BRZ/FRS market so it'll be cheaper. and then the Z becomes another terrible car like those 2. god i hope i'm wrong ![]() that eau rouge looks sexy though lol

Just because that turbo four makes less power doesn't mean the Z necessarily will. That's a China special, right? It would be very easy for them to make a 300hp+ turbo 4. Pretty much everyone has one now. And factory turbo motors usually have the ability to make loads more power than stock with bolt-ons and a tune. And if the car's lighter, it's going to be faster. The sky isn't necessarily falling.

i really hope they stay true to the Z platform and just lighten it a bit and keep the V6. maybe even add a couple snails to it(even though that'll never happen with big brother GTR being around). ![]()

I will say this though, if it is a 4 cylinder in the new Z the Z is dead. Yes it will live on, but it will be a new breed of the car in a different arena.
