I disagree. I think the FRS/BRZ is filling a niche market just as the Z is. They came at a time when it was at least a decade before something similar was on the market. They will sell well until the market has had it's fill. Things will slow down. It's the same thing that happened with the 350Z. If Nissan does market a 4 cylinder turbo with the Z, it will more than likely target a position closer to the Genesis Coupe 2.0T. Yet I still see a V6 model in the lineup. They already have the motor, they will need an updated V6 for their Infiniti lineup. The more vehicles the engine is in, the easier to subsidize the engineering costs. Idk

I'm happy I bought mine when I did. 3200lbs is still light, and the VQ37VHR responds better to modifications than any N/A V6 I've ever seen. The Ford & Chevy guys are happy to make 380-425whp with turbo's and SC's. Here we are pushing 550 without engine work.
