370Z hybrid?

Correct me if I am wrong, but Nissan's hybrid on the Altima is sourced from Toyota. Do they even have their own system yet?

Yes, nissan has just completed itts own hybrid system. It was introduced last year in the infiniti M. Its called the infiniti direct response hybrid. Its the hybrid system that everybody thought is going into the Z. It will be in the altima with the altimas redesign as a 2013 model, as well as in a couple of future hybrids that nissan is planning on building in the near future.

I consider the Altima a Z car with slightly rounder edges. I bet a version of it does go in the Z at some point.
