We now have the next generation Z, which at the earliest would be 2016... Nissan could probably afford to have it slip to 2017, since their trying to milk the new NISMO for the last remaining drops.

On top of all that, there's the future GT-R.

So that means Nissan will have THREE sports car lines. Others have been telling me, it's unusual for that many to be supported at once: especially in today's market.

If the IDx does happen, wouldn't Nissan be competing with itself if the new Z was also in the 30K range? I thought that was something companies didn't like. Why would Nissan have a $30,000 Z series and $30,000 IDx series? Wouldn't it be one or the other?

Either the new Z is moving to a different price bracket, or the IDx will be the more expensive brand.
