2015 speculation

I'm not technologically comparing it to the Z32

What im saying is... i think they will probably serve up multiple versions to appease the general public like the Z32. There were 2+2, 2 seater, hardtop, t-top,convertible, naturally aspirated, turbo, manual and automatic versions.

I'm sure this would kill nissan again. but if they keep it in the same area they are in now in options and just throw in the turbo or na and possibly make a 2+2 car without directly competeing with porsche and ferrari in quality and technology as they did in 1989 for $35000 less. I can see them going aesthetically the Z32 route without the blank check budget... Remember, they did say they want to simplify the Z. Reduced weight means less materials, simplified, more compact lightweight optional stereos and nav systems. probably following juke,altima,versa nav trends vs infiniti could possibly save them $500 a unit or more? Making it lightweight with two different engines eliminates the need for designing and building another rwd, cheaper FRS killer, while the optional turbo engine can be a mustang competitor. Convertible Z's are a waste of money and should be eliminated from the spectrum. At least till a 2019 refresh.

While no comparisons to the Z32 are being made, a shortened version of there extensive model and feature line-up may be fiscally wise considering they have such a hard time fitting the Z into one market???? Of course, all exclusivity whores will be disappointed.
