I don't see it. Nissan isn't very big on competing. If they were? They would have never scrapped the SILVIA concept project from 2008. Right now, a nissan silvia with the jukes engine beefed up to about 250hp would be a cold remedy for FRS BRZ and any other FWD sport wannabes. But nissan scrapped that project and made the juke. Nissan also had a beefed up versa hatch chopped to a 3 door with suspension mods and turbo... that amounted to absolutely nothing. What did nissan come out with??? A leaf and a new goofier looking versa. And now, the cool but gas guzzling juke. The juke uses too much gas for it being so light. Gas mileage rivals our Z's with half the power.

Expect weak azz EV cars a new sentra, altima and altima hybrid, a Z refresh and that's it.
