What do you guys think about the 4 cyl turbo option on a "390Z"

I would never buy a Z with a 4 banger. Just not what i think a Z is.
Might be a good idea for a turbo 4 cyl. if the Z lost 500-600lbs.

Agreed - If they did this to make something closer to the FRS/BRZ. 4 banger, light, nimble, and cheaper.

Now if they did that I would also expect them to offer a turbo 6 as an option. There is enough of a gap between the Z and the GTR that there could be another model/upgrade. but that is just the car enthusiast in me being wishful.

They will probably invest more time into a Nismo version of the Leaf.

nissan already has plans to release a concept of a frs/brz competitor which is suppose to be a class under the Z next month. so i was hoping it would be a silvia and 4 seats?

maybe they will reuse the Altima coupe plateform but define it more obviously between it and the Z...

hopefully they will...
