The Genesis doesn't hold a candle to the Z; it's bigger, heavier, and subjectively less pretty. The interior is a bit awkward (like the exterior) and the back seats are virtually unusable. Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad car at all, but it's not in the same league as the Z.

Regarding the motor in the Juke; the reason for the Juke's existence is a test-bed for that engine and its potential.

Turbo motors for the Z just don't align well with what Nissan is trying to do as far as keeping the Z pure as it started as an N/A car. The performance would too closely approach the GT-R, the price for turbo systems will drive the cost of the car up considerably, in addition to making it more expensive and difficult to do warranty work.

As far as price goes, have you looked at the current forex rates? JPY is killing the USD. Korea is a cheaper place to build and import cars from; that's why the Genesis coupe can be cheaper (you're also skimping on build quality/Quality Control a little bit).
