IDx combined with the Z as the future of the Z?

last i heard, they were looking at developing a lightweight RWD platform for the IDx and then using that same platform to also make the next Z. don't be so sure about anything that comes out in the news though...as far as Nissan is concerned i think they are trying to keep a tight lid on what they are planning for future sports cars unlike when the 370Z was being developed and alot of images of it were being leaked on to the internet against Nissan's wishes.

+1 -- A platform is not a car. Its a smart business and design move in today's automotive reality with respect to chassis cost and use. I think the next Z will be a Z. Id not worry just yet.
