Tell that to Nissan who's gonna sell the 2016 Maxima with the VQ engine  and thanks man but I've been a member here since 2009 just never posted lol
Anyone know if Nissan ever showed a 370z concept prior to unveiling it at the 2008 Los Angeles Auto Show? Any old articles would be nice |
A. it's not cost effective nor a selling point to have 3 engines. only multi-million car selling models like jetta, civic, etc... offer something like a baby engine, hybrid, performance, and diesel.
a car like the Z being a low volume seller with a bit higher price point even 2 engines is not a great strategy. when you factor in wanting to expand slightly and smash the BRZ/FRS then yes a 4 banger, Z body, nad small price will make those cars go bye byes.
B. Maxima always gets the hand-me-down engines from the sports cars before they move on to the next platform.
C. the G37 was unveiled with the 3.7 VQ that also went into the Z. so by that you can say the 3.0L TT V6 shown in the Q60 unveiling is the next engine in the Z.
