i discount that entire article as pure (reckless) speculation based soley on the statement that it "could be" a turbo 4 cyl. the Z is a 6 cylinder. it always has been... it always will be. a smaller turbo engine is possible but i've heard that that card is not in the deck. expect a slight bump in displacement, direct injection, 8 cogs in the auto for EPA mileage purposes, possibly a dual clutch setup but probably not due to the extra weight of it, and more use of aluminum in the chassis to drop the weight. cost will probably go up a good bit, figure the next Z (coupe) as more of a $35k-45k car instead the $32-40k it is now.
