I highly doubt Nissan will release another RWD platform in addition to the 370Z/G37 & GT-R platforms unless it shared chassis with another model. Nissan is pushing the 2013 Altima sedan hardcore right now and are putting off the redesigned Altima coupe models for a little while.
1) This will NEVER compete against the FR-S/BRZ. It would compete against a Civic and VW Golf/Rabbit.
2) No purest would ever choose a FWD platform when a very good and affordable RWD platform is available in the form of the FR-S/BRZ. Friends don't let friends go FWD man...lol

Hands down it would need to be a RWD platform or dont even bother. The idea of the Altima and the Juke engine is good but it would need to be reworked to either be AWD or RWD.
