lol,lol...I don't think so.
We all experience bad dreams.
This one is pretty bad.

 

Oh man... read rumors about the next platform moving toward that trend, smaller, lighter, less power... now the concept pictures surface sigh

If I wanted that I would have bought a miata

 

i'm still waiting for that hybrid Z to show up. the one that "respected" journalists claimed to have the inside scoop on.

 

Seems alot like the old 2G eclipse GS-T GSX. Small, fwd turbo 4 with AWD turbo option.

Rather ironic too that Toyota/Subaru and now Nissan getting back into small sports cars after Mitsu murdered the clipse line and recently discontinued it

 

they definitely should not refer to this as a mini Z

however the AWD turbo version definitely has my attention but the slower fwd base model is just a fish-looking competitor to the CRZ not the FRS/BRZ

 

looks like a frs

 

Anyone think if this car ends up weighing ~2900, with turbo AWD it'd destroy the likes of Miatas and FR-S'?

 

Meh, if im gonna get a lil bull ish car i would rather get me some Nissan Juke....

cant see why anyone with a Z would also want one of these...a juke i can functionally use daily driving and load up a few things, save some gas or my Titan and have some daily driving fun in...

interesting though....ill look out for it...

this is not a mini-Z. it's a "Mini"-wannabe.

 

I'm so over this FRS hype. Why does everyone allow Toyota to set the bar? They claim that the Z is in a different class/price range so it isn't competing. You can get a base Z for what the FRS costs (mid-high 20s). I think Nissan should just ignore this thing.

Used HR

Used DE/Revup + Boost

Disregard hype

 

Needs to lose the GTR line from the profile and the vented hood.

It kind of looks tall in that first pic which is weird.

An AWD turbo version could definitely sell if the price is around 25k.

 

This is not a bad idea but what happens to the Altima coupe.

 

I think they keep it. This car is going to to much smaller than the Altima coupe.

 

if the AWD and FWD models come with the same motor then the FWD will be faster, no point in AWD with such low power, just added drivetrain loss.

 

I wish they would... the brz is making a splash too. I'm really nervous for the next Z platform, if they make changes in that direction I am definitely not going to be interested. The cost is lower for a reason, cheaper inferior parts, poor interior quality, just too much focus on economic value, which imho should NOT be of concern when designing a real sports car!

 

^+1...

AWD, 190 HP, I'll pass... another hundred horse and I might start to get interested

 

If Nissan wants to compete against the FRS and BRZ, it would make much more sense to bring back the Silvia/240SX platform. I think it's a good idea to have a relatively cheap 4-cylinder RWD entry level sports car available in the model lineup. It would just be a travesty to call it a Z. IMO Subaru and Toyota capitalized on a void that existed in the market after Nissan stopped making the S chassis.

 

I would hit that
