People always/usually expect new generation has to be bigger displacement, more horses, better here and more there.
No one mention/think about the price... How much a V8 or 400hp Fairlady should price at?? 30K? Is it possible? Surely, when the overall quality has to be lowered to compensate the cost. 40K+?? General public might consider other brands, especially European brands. Some say a FI Fairlady, some say a V8, some say with a turbo option..... How much money do you want Nissan to spend on the development of the next Z? Or... be realistic, how much do you think Nissan will spend on the development of the next Z??? Some say cross-platform... alright, it could work, and how much are you willing to pay for a V8 Fairlady? Or... be realistic, how much do you think the general public will spend on a Japanese car?? Yes, horsepower is important for a sports car, but other factors are also as same important in the formula of strong sales. Look at Toyota Supra, very good sports car, strong horsepower, it make huge noise when it first came out... turbo, lots of horsepower blah blah blah... and Toyota withdrawn it from the North American market after years of its weak sales... because of its hefty price tag on a Japanese car.... Imagine, the next Z got those upgrades such as horsepower, FI options... what will the price tag look like?? Bad timing on the introduction of 370z, surely. And currently the economy is not any better than couple years ago.... do you think it's a good time to introduce a new but more expensive Z?? my CAD$0.02
