It is known "in-house" as the mini-Z which means they will rebrand it as something else when it is finished (thank god). If it is meant to compete with the FWD, small displacement platform, they shouldn't put the Z badge on it IMO.

Should have made it RWD if they really wanted to compete with the FT86.

It has a turbo so it already beats the brz in the aftermarket easy. Coupled with awd could make a really good dd.

:facepalm:

Fail....

Just threw up in my mouth a little.

:icon18:

So I just took the time to read the article. Its just a FWD Juke? WTF NISSAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bring back the 240 or some kind of variant. RWD and a Tiny TURBO 4 banger, doesn't even need a lot of HP as long as its turbo.

That's what I said!

But it's supposed to be competition for the FRS/BRZ. I mean, if you want to compete with every other FWD sports car and be more practical/cheaper FWD and all that, that's great, but don't pretend you're competing with the FR-S when you do it.

If thats the next Z , i'm not buying it !!!! If they think they will level their z to the same category as the brz then i would rather buy a brz/fr-s .

I've been waiting for a Turbo Leaf....thanks Nissan :shakes head:

but it's for china. who gives a f-

:iagree: We probably won't ever see this car here anyway.

This is Good news. drop the so called altima coupe and really Give us Something. Its Turbo that's all I care about. Fwd? Hey can't be so picky. And at least this is not the new Z! Which I hope will still be a big NA V6 engine and not down sizing like we've been hearing. Now the question is how am I gonna afford both this and the new Z!
