I think it's possible for Nissan to further refine the VQ and make it more fuel efficient. Direct injection would be the next logical step in that endeavor. IMO a turbo version is badly needed to remain competitive with the 400+ horsepower V8 domestics, which also have more MPG friendly V6 versions. The domestics have been successful with offering two versions of their platforms. I don't see any reason why Nissan can't offer both a fuel efficient NA V6 and also a turbo version. Nissan seems to be stuck on stupid in this regard.
I think a new 4 cylinder motor should be reserved for a revival of the S-chassis to compete against the BRZ and FR-S. The time is right to bring back the S-chassis.

Meanwhile, a more powerful better tuned Z with options would keep it on par with what domestic companies have already embraced.
