2015 Nissan Z may be lighter, leaner

Sure, a lighter- more fuel-efficient Z would be good for our times. A turbo 4-cylinder making more horsepower than the 370's 3.7 liter sounds good.

I think they should keep the character of the Z the same though: kind of a brute with precise handling and sports-car styling. This is where Nissan differentiates the Z compared to a Hyundai Genesis or Scion FR-S. in its character.

Agree on the first paragraph.

Regarding your 2nd paragraph, that's exactly why I'm purchasing a current Z. If in the future, Nissan comes up with a much better Z, then it's time trade up and get it. If not, then I know that I'll be more than happy with the current Z.

love how few 370s there are out there, and i hope they do go with a cheaper more accessible car so i wont feel the need to upgrade when it comes out. I would own the Z at its pinnacle
