I chose my Nismo over the more powerful Ford Mustang 5.0 and SS Camaro because it was/is a better overall package IMO. Squeeze out 50 more hp (preferably NA, but low psi SC would be cool too) and it would be absolutely perfect.

Not sure why people are talking about the Subaru/Toyota/Scion thing in the same conversation... different price point and entirely different performance level. Has anyone driven one? I have, and that thing is gutless!

Agreed. I'm all about progress, but I think using a 4 cylinder for improved fuel economy and weight savings is a step in the wrong direction. Does anyone really buy a sports car for practicality and fuel efficiency? If Nissan wants to reduce weight, do it the conventional, though more expensive way and take it out on the body. I would prefer not to see a Z car in the next few years than a Z35 with a 4 cylinder.

And yes, please stop talking about the BRZ/FR-S, let the IDx worry about them.
