I'm saying basically sell the Q60 with a manual transmission and badge it as a Z. Don't even have to take the rear seats out, you could bring it back as a 300ZX refresh. Simply to keep the Z alive.

Retooling nearly anything structural means Nissan has to go through the process to pass US safety standards again, which is not a trivial thing. And I don't want a rebadged Q60 with rear seats for the next Z. I think they're dragging their feet, will come up with a re-painted, re-trimmed, and re-badged 50th anniversary model, then kill the Z off.
