Adding AWD to the z would increase the cost of a car that is already selling incredibly poorly. Not to mention adding several hundred pounds of weight. That, and Nissan doesn't have an AWD system that will mate up with a manual transmission. So they can either make the Z auto only, or spend a lot of money to redesign their AWD system. Neither of those sound like a solid plan. Even of it doubles Z sales, that brings it up to 20k units a year. Not enough to justify a major drivetrain change like going to AWD.

Which is why I said I wish nissan would have made a 370z with the potential of the GTR a couple posts ago. Because one lacks the raw sports design but the other lacks the power potential. It doesn't necessarily have to be a 370z even if it were another sports car they brought in with both look and power Integrated together. Instead we have a box with amazing potential. And a beautiful Z with average raw power. Chevy has The ZR1 but it also has the C6 LS3, Z06 LS7, and camaro. ALL amazing platforms to build incredible power yet still retain that raw sport car look. Same could be said about Ford. Yeah the mustangs are squary but people know their sports cars and might I add those engines can be BEASTY with minimal money as well. I just wished nissan had more options I guess I can put it that way. I do think the 370z looks better then any camaro or mustang at that.

And I didn't even take into consideration how many models there is out there ALL with potential. ZL1, Z28, Grand Sport, Boss, 5.0, GT500 etc etc. Nissan needs more options. Not a couple variants with 15-20 horsepower changes.
