Would you buy a 250Z?
 
Rumor has it that an Infiniti G25 is on its way over with the VQ25DD - a naturally aspirated 2.5 V6 with direct injection making 210hp/195tq.

If Nissan put this engine in the Z, would you be interested?

Obvious pros are a lower entry price (probably around mid to high $20k's - $27k would be my guess) lighter and better fuel economy.

Vegitto-kun 05-08-2010 11:35 AM

No thank you a VQ40DD is much more interesting

followed by VQ40DDTT

Horseface 05-08-2010 11:42 AM

It would be interesting only if it were a much smaller and much lighter model. I'm saying Miata/Z3 sized with real go-kart handling. It would probably be a lot more fun to drive than the 370z.

nogoodname 05-08-2010 12:06 PM

No rumours, the G25 will be in production.

fairladyZ34 05-08-2010 12:09 PM

apparently as a sedan only too

Sith 05-08-2010 01:36 PM

Maybe d190Z? :D

Zsteve 05-08-2010 03:06 PM

only if turbo charged

shadoquad 05-08-2010 03:09 PM

If it's anything like the base Genesis Coupe, no thanks. More like a Miata, then yes plz moar.

soCo 05-08-2010 03:21 PM

I voted no in the slightest, but i hit the wrong button. It really depends on all the specs.

ZKindaGuy 05-08-2010 03:33 PM

No because I don't subscribe to all the "green" :bs:. In fact if Nissan ever does this to the Z I will sell the Z and never buy another Nissan again. I had to go through this environmental :bs: for 30 years starting in the 70's. I sure as hell am NOT going to be forced into it again for a second time in my life.

1slow370 05-08-2010 04:33 PM

there is a rumor going around that the g25 which actually be the lead in for the new nissan s series replacement. think 250sx

JACKPAC 05-08-2010 04:47 PM

I would look at a 2.5l turbo (either I4 or V6), or better yet I5 ala audi TT-RS!

susu 05-08-2010 05:18 PM

Ha Ha , Why do we buy the Z?. For me its the power and sportiness. If I wanted a smaller engine I would have gone for a miata or the S2000. Besides I feel it will cheapen the Z name if they are going to call it a Z. By all means go for a G25 just like their smaller CUVs looking like a mini Murano.

Agreed,if it can produced the same HP as the 370z,i will buy.

Chriz 05-08-2010 05:38 PM

It wouldn't be a Z if made. Not even the slightest bit. No replacement for displacement.

:iagree:

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

kailua 05-08-2010 08:57 PM

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 :confused:

Zaggeron 05-08-2010 10:42 PM

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

FuszNissan 05-08-2010 10:49 PM

Just buy an altima coupe

Nope. No more FWD vehicles for me.

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

Dallas-Z 05-09-2010 12:53 AM

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.

dad 05-09-2010 02:27 AM

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 =)

gtr

nicknick 05-09-2010 06:12 PM

As some people here have already said, if this 2.5 L was along the same concept as an MX5 then yes, cause the performance would be good from lighter weight that would benefit performance, handling and braking.

G Fo12ce 05-09-2010 06:18 PM

If that read VQ25DET(T) I'd be all for it.

wishihadnav 05-09-2010 07:31 PM

250z?...hell 2 da no!..haha

I think your forgetting all about the vk56, or the direct injection version of it, or they could always go crazy and do up the vk56tt<------gets my vote

tru_Asiatik 05-10-2010 10:04 AM

im down for a 250sx/silvia but not th z

kenchan 05-10-2010 11:10 AM

yah, make a silvia or a rear drive altima using 2.5 and compete against the FT86 or watever it was called.

vipor 05-10-2010 11:14 AM

As others have stated, a 2.5 RWD should be a <3klbs banger, not a V6. Take me back to my 240 days!

shadoquad 05-10-2010 12:41 PM

So, I think I'd advocate a 270s or 270sx, smaller and with styling cues from the Z, a drop-top to directly compete with the MX5, maybe even undercut the price. If not a drop-top, then maybe a stable targa.

The problem with this approach is that so many roadsters have tried and failed to dethrone the little Mazda, and it's a niche market as it is, that the whole proposition becomes a huge risk. I don't know if it would compete, but I'd love to see what they stood up to attempt it.
