Nissan VP of product planning drops hints of possible next Z and iDX?

I had a 2011 G37S coupe before my ZRoadster. They are the same platform, but the aesthetics of performance, dynamics and interior are way different. But they were designed for a different demographic - so that makes sense.

Same platform - with minor alterations - Front -Midship. Same engine (tuned slightly differently), Same brakes. Same muffler/exhause with changes. Same basic suspension - again tuned differently.

Nissan did a good job of taking one platform and spreading it across the G, the Z, the EX (yes I had that too and the muffler off a G37S coupe was a direct bolt on). etc.

I love them both for different reasons. What they do with the next Z will greatly depend on the demand of the consumer and that the demand will vet the investment. With our low sales - this is a secondary halo car that does could not in most business cases justify it's own platform.

Hopefully they will take consumer feedback, and throw in some Nissan tuning to elevate the concept in the right direction.

We're not hearing anything because - as i work for billion dollar companies- they are doing their research.
