I have also heard rumors of the 450z... but i doubt that will happen because it will be in comparison with the Gt-R... With a V-8, AWD the price would be around 65000 +... I would buy it !!!

no one would actually spend 65000 dollars for a nissan for anything less than spectacularly good!
another thing is the class thing... a nissan doesnt have the class of the porsche or maserati... one cant get their facts muddle up because for the rich who can actually afford that kind of car... they wouldnt want a nissan... similar stories with the rx7 and the supra... its designed to compete against the m3 and 911 but in reality ppl who buys that kind of performance doesnt want cheap plastic interior or 2nd grade leather... they also want the MADE IN ITALY or MADE IN GERMANY emblem engraved on the VIN panel ^^

That's utter BS. Carlos Ghosn isn't a moron to cannibalize sales of the new GT-R by bringing Z into remotely that price category.

Here's your business lesson for today: If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

450Z.. i think they should call it 400Z or 400ZT, 4.0 liter V6/V8 TT or N/A AWD.

i guess they'll just save that idea/plan for back-up just like when they brought the Z back into the market. when they're about to be in deep shyte!
