J series? You mean the screamer from the MDX that is several years newer? I guess I missed where the j was being put into a rwd sport coupe.

You come in to every forum tagging everything in quotes trying to disassemble an argument, try again when you are actually correct.

J series are in every single Honda vehicle that has a V6. And since when did chassis have anything to do with an argument over engine design? Honda went with the SOHC design because it's more compact and easier to fit trans-mounted. Again though, not part of the argument. As a reminder, it was why Nissan is sticking with the VQ and not redesigning it. BTW, the VQ is only a few years older than the J series.

The entire engine block share the same design concepts with other VQ's. I'll let pictures do the talking, everyone likes pictures.

Looks like family to me... CVT wasn't brought up as a potential use for performance vehicles, sometimes I agree with you, but this is one of the many things we don't meet eye to eye with.

yes, two years. the discussion was specifically around continuing the VQ in the Z, not in general. I imagine Nissan will continue to use it in SUVs and other such vehicles. They may even continue in the Z, but doing so is basically giving up on being competitive in the market.
