I'm still not sure why people think that the Z is going to be competing with the FRS/BRZ. That's what the IDx is for.

The all important metrics, the dollar is God. Like may have said, thinking two years before we see it and itll be a Q50/60 in a Z, probably a turbo 4 and an optional "NISMO" 6, thank you and goodnight!!

If the Z continues to sell 10k units a year, we won't have a Z for much longer. That's just a fact.

I mentioned the Toyota FT-1 concept from the Detroit auto show in an earlier post. If that car comes to market in the 40-50k range it will sell. There is no reason why nissan could not move the Z to that price point with the right equipment. Look how many c7 corvettes are selling at 65k. Nissan should not be outdone by Toyota.

Unless the Toyota car is toned down a ton, it will not be anywhere close to 40-50k. With the rumor of power in the 500 range and how light it is, that car is a GT-R fighter first, so think 90k or more.

I won't disagree that FT-1 may sell at corvette prices but I don't see Toyota being able to sell a 90k car.

if the FRS came out of the factory looking like the FRS concept at the projected sub-$25K, it would've sold more too.
