Based on some recent news it sounds like the v-6 is here to stay. They will most likely add direct injection and use more aluminum to lower the weight. Nissan should not chase BRZ sales with the Z. If they want to compete with the BRZ, then make either a Z mini (with a turbo 4) or introduce a whole new car.
