I said 18 months ago a hybrid might be available for the Z. Probably won't but the HR3.5? Why not the 3.7?

You know... I usually have a well thought out answer for questions like this... but I really don't have any idea why the 3.5HR made for a better hybrid motor than the 3.7. The only thing I could grasp at would be that they began R&D on a hybrid motor before the 3.7 even came to fruition.

Don't you find that...odd? That engine saw a 2008 G35 sedan as it "last" dance, REPLACED with the 3.7...wtf?
