Would you buy a 250Z?
 

Rumor has it that an Infiniti G25 is on its way over with the VQ25DD - a naturally aspirated 2.5 V6 with direct injection making 210hp/195tq.

If Nissan put this engine in the Z, would you be interested?

Obvious pros are a lower entry price (probably around mid to high $20k's - $27k would be my guess) lighter and better fuel economy.

No thank you a VQ40DD is much more interesting

followed by VQ40DDTT

It would be interesting only if it were a much smaller and much lighter model. I'm saying Miata/Z3 sized with real go-kart handling. It would probably be a lot more fun to drive than the 370z.

No rumours, the G25 will be in production.

apparently as a sedan only too

Maybe d190Z? :D

only if turbo charged

If it's anything like the base Genesis Coupe, no thanks. More like a Miata, then yes plz moar.

I voted no in the slightest, but i hit the wrong button. It really depends on all the specs.

No because I don't subscribe to all the "green" :bs:. In fact if Nissan ever does this to the Z I will sell the Z and never buy another Nissan again. I had to go through this environmental :bs: for 30 years starting in the 70's. I sure as hell am NOT going to be forced into it again for a second time in my life.

there is a rumor going around that the g25 which actually be the lead in for the new nissan s series replacement. think 250sx

I would look at a 2.5l turbo (either I4 or V6), or better yet I5 ala audi TT-RS!

Ha Ha , Why do we buy the Z?. For me its the power and sportiness. If I wanted a smaller engine I would have gone for a miata or the S2000. Besides I feel it will cheapen the Z name if they are going to call it a Z. By all means go for a G25 just like their smaller CUVs looking like a mini Murano.

Agreed,if it can produced the same HP as the 370z,i will buy.

It wouldn't be a Z if made. Not even the slightest bit. No replacement for displacement.
