Then to fill the gap for those that want a cheap sports car, a reinvented 240sx would fit the bill nicely.

One can dream, right?

I've been a supporter of this idea for years. In my fantasy world:

Nissan GT-R would be the $100,000+ lineup.
Nissan Z would be the $50,000+ lineup.
Nissan IDx would be the $25,000+ lineup.

Yes, that would make the Z a not low cost vehicle, but it would let Nissan finally get their cards in order, and offer a Z that doesn't cut corners to fit lower price brackets.

GT-R is the raw power that doesn't care how it looks, just give pure performance. Z is power with a sexy exterior that screams beautiful car. IDx is for power that's afforable in a form that's easy to mod.

In the real world though, it seems the IDx is being difficult for Nissan to deliver without it costing as much as the current Z.
