A couple easy way's for them to shave weight... Remove the spare, and make run flats standard, and make the entire frame all aluminum while using steel where absolutely necessary. I don't think Nissan is going to shrink their wheelbase much lower than 100 inches, that's just asking for a twitchy and darty car. Nissan did not necessarily confirm that they were going smaller, but they did say they will not go larger, and intend to reduce the weight. The size of the vehicle is fine, there is plenty of ways to reduce the weight. And for the record, the V6 easily fits, they cram V6's in smaller spots. BTW, some of the costs is because they only build them in Japan.
