Put just a little bit more into the Z and OMG.

Here is what I think will happen. They will offer a base Z with a 2.5 NA. Sell for 28-32, then offer a sport package touring blah blah for a few K more. She will be lighter and quicker but really no horses maybe 220. Then they will offer a NISMO 2.5 TT at 37-45K. they will make it with enough changes that it will make it silly to buy a base or a touring if you want a performance Z. The base and touring will be so toned down they won't be fun. Yeah they will look good, but they will probably be tame enough for teens.

Cannot do that though, the IDx will be to close of a competitor at that power range of 220 for the base Z. Depending on which exact engine they use (some are saying the Juke motor or variant), that will be easily 180-200HP for the small IDx.

For the Z to stay above it they will need to keep it in the 3xx range with either lighter car or throw on a turbo for efficiency.
