What do you guys think? I see a correlation for a new light-weight sporty car under the Z. If anything, it probably will be a lower displacement engine, and to keep the power up ----> Turbo.


Isn't there a mandate in the US for manufacturers to bump up efficiency in by 2016?

U.S. Orders Stricter Fuel Goals for Autos - WSJ.com
SUV's,pickups, and large displacement sedans make up the commercial fuel concerns. not sports cars. look at it like this...
nissan would have to focus on the pathfinder,armada, exterra, rogue, maxima and altima to really make a difference to cafe.
Combined they will sell about 2.5 million or more vehicles there in a genration stretch... while the 2 flagship and halo sports cars will sell maybe 60,000 units over a generation. It's a luxury for sports cars to have great fuel economy and isnt stressed due to low volume sales.

The Silvia was srcapped and is not coming to nissan. If nissan goes along with the datsun release as highly speculated? Then possibly will we see a silvia? but till you here the words. "new datsun dealers coming to america?" fuhggetaboutit!!!
