Variable valve timing, lift, and all it's variations, is not new technology by any stretch of the imagination. If the next gen Z car does not have direct injection, it will definitely be considered old technology.

Here's an article that talks about possible reasons not to use DI (read: cost). Although considering the price of the Z, they probably should be using it by now

Of cos the 370z is "=" old technology.....

It has a 4-stroke gasoline engine, which has been exist for 80+ years.

Change direction through a steering column.... a day 1 technology since automobile is invented.

Use wheels/tires to transfer the kinetic energy into motion... this is also since day 1...

Use friction to stop the vehicle..... that's old school method too....

Change gear manually, well, we choose to do that.....

Look.. they even have roadster at that time:

so... what's wrong with our Z???

We like our Z, so we drive one regardless....

Cost may be a factor, but with the mandate to get all the car companies' MPG figures higher, DI will be pretty much a given for any N/A engines. Plus you can run higher compression ratios with DI which results in more power, so it's a win/win for both sides.
