Nissan puts a engine making all of 190 horsepower in a Z, I'll go buy a Mustang

If they brought back a rwd 250sx I would totally buy it. They can keep the Z as the flagship below the gtr but there is a huge gap for cheap sporty category.

If the pricing is around $23-27K then it could compete with the likes of the speed3, gti and genesis.

Ummmm this one perhaps

I wouldn't buy a Z with a 2.5, but the G25 looks interesting. If it were light and came in a coupe version (unfortunately sedan only) I think it might be a cool replacement for my DD

Just buy an altima coupe

Can honestly say I've never owned a FWD car. Everyone has been RWD though the truck had 4WD I always kept it in RWD. I've maybe driven a FWD car 4 times in my life and that estimate would be extremely generous

Did you all forget about this??

Rumor: Nissan to revive the legendary 240SX

Let em' bring it. Would I buy it? No. Would 18 year olds buy it? yes. Less power and a smaller price tag would be good for younger people to get used a somewhat power car.

With CAFE coming, a down rated Z is a possibility.

gumpy · 05-09-2010, 04:22 AM

I would take a lower cap v6 or 4 cylinder turbo in the z's body if it were say at least 4k less... I'm a person who likes great awesome handling, not brute power and as it is my DD fuel savings would be welcome...

In saying that the 3.7L should stay on, a lot of people seem to like it, if not actually want more power... =) Nismo should have twin turbos for these people =)
