I'm glad I didn't act on my accounting degree and got a job in finance trying to help rich people get even richer. :icon17:

:eek: :gtfo2:

+1 for engineers. We want more performance, let the silly accountants worry about sales :icon17:

There is nothing wrong with a turbo 4. Hell, if its anything like the EVO and STI motors, we will have a more potent engine then now.

O_o How about bringing back the Silvia and be done with it? Maybe a 1.6-2.4L turbo coupe to compete against the Scion/Subaru. I'd personally like to see something under $20k.

The Z is getting overpriced and the performance/price value appears to be diminishing. Bring back the 2.6-3.0L turbo, weight close to 3k, and I wouldn't mind paying sub $30k for one. There are proportions on this car that can be shaved.

Its not all about power either. I'm sure with the right balance the Z can become a good looking and amazing handling car. It would be nice to start out N/A in the sub 20k with a VQ25 or newer design. It does not need a design to support dub wheels either and maybe max out around 18 or 19. Heck I miss the proportions of the Z32.

Why you don't like Nissan ?

If the z drop down to 4 cylinders. I will drop the z too!!:) actually I loves to have a Cadillac cts-v coupe right now!!:) but can't afford it!! Lol!!:) if the next z still v6 with turbo or even without turbo I might consider it my next car.

This is news? Writing was on the wall over a year ago. Nissan execs have been hyping 1.6 turbo motor, they have nothing to compete with ft86, gas prices in Cali headed to $5 a gal, US gov requiring higher mileage cars.

Doesn't make sense for Z to be heavy 6 cylinder.

I love fact 370z will be last 6 Cylinder Z!

:iagree:

It is all speculation. Couldn't care less. Bring on the low displacement turbo motors. That's going to be the trend.

I see nothing wrong with a turbo 4 in a new Z. That said, Nissan needs to bring back the S chassis to compete with the BRZ/FT86

Very true. The evo an sti have the potential to produce great power for the minimal cost. Unlike the z platform, you need a lot more money to make that power.

yea but the v6 is what makes the Z a Z. Just like Ford putting an eco boost in the mustang- people will still buy it but that doesnt mean its keeping true to its spirit. On a lighter note, this will bode well for 370z's if they move to a 4 cylinder, means the 370z is the last of the normal Z cars. I love the Z cars (this is my second) but if they abandon the upscale Z car they have now all together, it might be time for me to move on to another manufacture. But honestly I see them keeping the Z and sellign a 240 on the side to keep up with the brz/civic/etc, just like they did in the 90's

Hopefully Toyota will bring back the next Supra to fill the segment that the 370 is currently in if/when Nissan decides to downgrade or axe the current Z. It would have to be a real Supra, not something like the electric motor crap that Honda has planned for the next NSX.

I think this is suppose to compete with the ToyoBaru cars. I really like the Z, so, I really hope that they keep it and give it a TTV6 which is a different animal than the ToyoBaru so I really think it's in a different segment, anyways.
