What is the Z's identity? A poorman's Porsche or an expensive toyubru?

Both? Might be part of the problem... It's underpowered for it's competition, or it's overly expensive for it's competition...


Bigger question would be the Name... If they go smaller displacement, can't call it a 300Z again... So what do they name it??

they could call it a 300Z as there was never a 300z... only a ZX..
