2015 Nissan Z may be lighter, leaner

I don't think it's really about fuel economy but rather effeciency. There's always going to be a compromise in fuel economy if you want to go fast.... and "Datsun" isn't coming back in the US anytime soon, if ever. They reintroduced the brand to represent the "economy" side akin to Scion with the Nissan brand in the middle. They already found out the hard way that putting a smaller engine (Infiniti G25) to reduce the price doesn't work.

i believe Datsun was brought back in Europe and a select few other countries. the idea of Datsun coming to the U.S. was highly unlikely if ever, like you said lol
