Right, sorry. That was a FAIL for me.

Not "twin turbo", just a "turbo".

I guess I'm used to thinking of the Z with a TT, so I just projected.

Haha! You should take a look at it first.

I don't want to start a flame war with our resident Juke owners, but some might call the car "fugly".

The juke looks like a fun daily driver to me. Saw it at the dealer but never test drove it. Even it the next z generation has a diesel turbo ill might consider it.

Yes, the reviews have been fairly positive that I've seen. I just don't know about those lights on the top of the hood!

...but in many reviews I have heard that the MPG people are getting may be a little less than desirable.

If the next Z has a diesel turbo, I will:

1. Keep my Z34....
2. Pick up the next RX7
3. Pick up the new Lotus Exige equivalent....
4. Chill on sports cars for a bit and play with the CX7.

What's wrong with a diesel turbo? (although I personally don't think Nissan will go this way)
