Ok guys... This is the comment that has sparked a lot of negative thinking when it comes to Nissan's future cars. Understandably the thought of three different Z's... One econo, front wheel drive version, BRZ fighter. One RWD turbo 4 RWD which would be the standard car. And supposedly, possibly a limited edition V6 are some of the crazy rumors that have sparked.
While in deep thought about this. I realize, that the Altima coupe hasn't been spoken for... Will it be cancelled? Or is the so called BRZ fighting FWD Z really an Altima coupe, that we have totally Not considered in our talks???

Nissan info has been lost in translation with little defining guidance from our R&D/corporate guys. The only thing we really know is the next Z will be smaller, lighter and there will be a RWD version.

Now, I decided to dissect the rumors and pretend that the BRZ fighter won't be a Z. It will be a front wheel drive car. And possibly be an Altima or a FWD Silvia something or other. Who knows???

FWD, here in our country is the call-sign for "Fake Sports Car!" Why would Nissan do this??? Then while playing GT-5 I was racing my Renault Megane RS. In simulation this is one hot ride. Handles sick for a FWD... Given the marriage between Renault-Nissan...This prompted me to go on You tube and see exactly what this car does through some kind of auto review...

I was shocked to see what I found. This car, may not do donuts or it may NOT be easy to stick the back out. But if this car will weigh in the same range as a BRZ, with this engine in the guise of an Altima/Silvia? This may be the car to end GTi/Mazda3 and even newcomer Focus ST worship. If the Altima coupe came as the Renault Megane? I think, the BRZ would really have a FWD fighter from Nissan. LOOK.

Being that Nissan and Renault are married... I think having this car with Nissan badges or at least use of its motor/chassis/tranny would benefit us greatly here, to increase Nissan performance. Not only for us to destroy ever other FWD car out there. But to put serious pressure on RWD to perform this well.
Nissan, if this will be one of the tricks up your sleeve? I will be impressed!

But this would mean, the RWD 370z needs to be even greater. Lets destroy the comp.
