Turbo fours are making serious power these days- check the engine in the CLA45 AMG, for instance. I would rather see the Z car adapt, sell, and stay in the production line than watch Nissan chase a ghost who's ship sailed a long time ago. |

Oh and I almost forgot... AND stay under 30K. If Nissan goal is to compete with the Toyoburu twins then they need to be closer to 26-27k range for the base model.
