I would hope Nissan would manufacture something to rival the new BRZ... it would be so unlike Nissan to NOT dominate the sports car market.

I say go for it. I'd love for them to bring the silvia stateside under that name finally :D

but IMO, to make a z car smaller and less powerful than in the past would be a shame.

another situation like the 240z, 260z, and 280z would be cool.

I think something lightweight with a VQ25 would be awesome.

This is step 3. Step 1 would be for Nissan to realize that other than the Z, their lineup is ghey and become embarrassed enough to want to fix it. Step 2 would be remembering how to build a decently powerful RWD car that an average person could afford. Only then would step 3 be possible.

Good luck with that.
