Really? Didn't see it but I didn't search either since the date/time for the CNN article was from last night. Can't trust news sources.

its going to be hard to compare the Indian Datsun to the American Nissan in terms of power because the Indian or Thai versions measure their engines by "Elephant power" not horsepower.. So is a 230 EP Turbo better than a 340 HP? Anybody know the conversion formula?

They won't bore out the VQ anymore so no 3.9 litre. Heritage is "All Factor" in the Z production line so AWD won't exist. That's what skylines and the GTR is for. Most likely we will go back to the original roots of a 2.4 litre 2.8 or 3.0 litre inline or v6. I would guess even though turbos aren't roots oriented. It would be considered for power/fuel econ. That would be my educated guess.

This is a very logical and all around sound guess. You hit the high points really with AWD + GTR relationship, and their need to go more green and return to their roots with the 2.x - 3.0 litre turbo. Seems probable even in NA form.
