doubt it. Nissan is all about sales and baby 4 bangers it seems.

I still hold some hope in my heart that they follow through on that 3.0L TT that was in the prototype Q60 last year.

I need to see this in person. It just seems odd in photos, but the stats are nice.

They won't be able too, they're going to have to battle the cars they were intended to battle. Other 6's.

Dont sweat it, once the terrain gets rough the new Z truck will zip right past that dumb Sports car called the Camaro. Four-wheel drive and knobby 36 inch tirez baby!! Not to mention seating for 5!! Eat that, Camaro!!!

But guys... How many cupholders?!?

Doesn't Nissan already make a chunky, lumbering, 2+2 "sports coupe" that already stomps these pony cars?

But at the price of 2 SS's and one 4 banger.

A 4 second Camaro for $40,000
A 4.5 second SS sedan $45,000
A 3 second corvette for $80,000

If they make a 5 second sonic? They'd have the market cornered.

This is probably the one thing that will help Nissan's case in keeping the Z in roughly the same place it has been - but if they want a true alternative, I'd be ok in a 370-ish type car that is a 2 + 2.

If you make the Z a tad more practical, you can attract some of the same segment that shops the pony cars - those that want the thrill of a fun drive that has some space to accommodate life.

Yeah, for twice the price. And for twice the price, it should.
