Yeah but who is to say that engine won't be used later on in other models? Also, The Z is looking for a series of gimmicks to push this car cuz americans like gimmicks. The G25 isn't the most desireable option for a G yet it is excluively fitted as a base G motor. Sometimes companies need to take risks.

Nissan can fiddle with cash even with a low selling car like the Z because of cars like the altima, g,sentra, versa and small crossover style vehicles like the exterra , rogue and murano. They are the bread and butter and always recieve trickle down technology.

I still think that the next Z will at least share the engine with the next G coupe/ sedna, and the next coupe is around the corner for a full redesign so that should give us a good glimpse of what's to come.

Honestly I am excited to see what the next wave of redesigns will bring, we have the Z, G coming in shortly and all the competition is getting redesigns.

Will see what happens, I hope it doesn't turn into a ricers wet dream . I agree on the performance of the 370. It could be revamped and is underrated for its potential. The 370 is actually the slowest (for now) sports car I ever drove, but its by fare the most balanced, and is just awesome to drive. I thought and considered Camaro, Dodge, Infinity or mustang again. But you can't find a better package at a price you achially want to pay new, without buying a modded car. Will see what happenes.

I considered a G, Camaro as well, but it seems sometimes its not all about speed but a well balanced ride. With that being said the 370z has that "it" (i think looks has a lot to do with it) that people can overlook the less power factor plus the Auto trannys are no sleepers they are strong on these cars, I like em.

The G is going to use Mercedes C-class chassis. I believe the Z will have an in-house chassis. The kinship will drift apart in the new generation. All i can see the Z getting from benz, possibly would be an engine tranny. But chassis platforms will change the physical dynamics of each car to a greater scale. Inginiti is going bigger while the Z is going smaller.
