let see what happened!!!

Not really worried about the design or power specs. I like Nissans recent design language and I doubt it will actually look anything like the Juke. Wouldn't be surprised he said that just to get people talking.

I kind of like the idea of a full EV version if it can perform close to the petrol counterpart. I'm still sticking to the idea that either an updated VQ25DET or an updated VQ30DETT will be used. Going 4-cyl doesn't always make sense since the "V" configuration is more compact. New V6 tech is also pushing the fuel economy closer to 4 cyl numbers.

Nissan knows the Z will fail if it's not a performance car. It can't just be "fun to drive" like the slow selling Honda CR-Z...it needs to be quick and hold onto the Z legacy.

Palmer added: “Can we do something in the sports space? Yes we can. Does it need to look like a Toyota GT 86? No I don’t think so. Can it be more enjoyable to drive, a real sports car. Yes it can.”

“Do I know what it looks like? Yes I do. Have I driven it? Yes I have. When will you see it? Come to Tokyo.”
