The hybrid would completely ruin the handling because it would add so much weight. So that's out. As for the diesel, there is just something about it that I don't like. Im not saying everyone has to agree with me but thats my opinion. I don't really wanna drive around a Z puffing black smoke out the back lol If they came out with either of these, I would simply by a different car like a mustang or something.

The weight of the Hybrid I can understand.

Puffing black smoke diesel - LOL. Yeah, that's not quite how they work anymore. Check out the BMW 335d. How about the Audi R8 Diesel?

That's not the first teaser design, it won't be the last! But I do like it!

I definitely understand where your coming from but it just wouldn't be for me. I'd prefer a gas motor. Btw I have a buddy who just bought a 2010 mercedes ml320 blutec and it puffs black smoke when he gets on it. Just sayin.

I think Nissan should start with a more powerful V6 or even better an I6. And then just tune the crap out of it. Think 90's Toyota Supra. This car has very limited appeal, so it doesn't need more engines; it needs refinement. Make it 400 lbs lighter, DSG transmission, higher OD gear, oil cooler, ... so yeah ... pass on a hybrid and diesel - and focus on making the current car better.

Now those are all good ideas. I would definitely go for that.
