390Z to have a 4Cly Optional?

Akmcmahon · 10-27-2013, 10:00 AM

If it was a 4 cyl, it wouldn't be called a 390Z for starters. The # matches the displacement of the engine. So it would more likely be called a 240Z or 200Z. I'd prefer to see a turbo charged 6 cyl 390Z with an addition to the family that was a 240sx. Nissan needs the Sylvia in it's lineup especially with how popular the BRZ and FRS are IMO.

Don't bet on that....Infiniti just changed their entire model naming strategy and abandoned the link between the model number and the engine displacement. It's safe to say that this could happen to the Z as well.
