Until now I think the Z has its own class, they compare it usually with Cayman, Audi TT, BMW Z4 and SLK but the price range differentiate it from the others. Here in Qatar, they compare it to Camaro, Mustang and Challenger which they have a similar price tag with less performance (at least in straight line and this is why its not popular here). Maybe they want to have some share from competitors and this is why they are making it smaller. Personally, I hope they target Camaro and Mustang with nearly the same acceleration figures but superior to them in track and I hope they keep NA 6 cylinder as option.

I still like the rumor that the next-gen is getting a mass produced version of the current R35 powerplant.

I don't oppose MB engines (I know some have different opinion) if Z went FI way, we will be left with very limited options for NA powered cars. Some people would prefer NA even though FI engines has a lot of advantages.
