2015 speculation

I tell ya... If the next Z has a 4 cylinder turbo, the 370 will be my last Z car. If I wanted fuel economy, I would have bought a Prius.

Or if you want to stay in the Nissan family, a Leaf, Versa, or Sentra (although the last two aren't as high in MPG as Leaf/Prius)

Lol, totally true. A Prius is my other car. I like the idea of turbo for improving performance, but not at the expense of reducing the size of the engine and then try to make up for lack of displacement.

Sure majority of the buyers are after fuel economy but a 4 cylinder and turbo with similar spec will most likely get just as bad fuel economy as the V6. Look at the Evo and STi, I don't think reducing the engine size and add a turbo helped with MPG. I don't the the buyers cared either, if they did, they would have gotten the non turbo version Lancer or Impreza.
