Moving to aluminum across their entire lineup sharing the same front midship platform will assist in keeping costs down. It will also increase their fuel economy as standards rise.
clearly you havent seen a properly modified evo, eclipse gsx, silvia(or 240sx with sr20det swap)

heck a $20 bleed valve on an evo will put it up with a stock Z easily
