Message	like the mini cooper, Mustang, PT Cruiser and the Bug do you think that Nissan will remake the Z32R (R=retro) in the forseeable future? Maybe with a 50/50 weight distribution, curb weight of 2800 pds, slightly flaired rear,Xenon lights, and stage 3-4 power stock, etc, etc. I personally would love to see a 400hp hybrid twin turbo Z. Or do you think classic styling will go the way of the dinosaur and bloated shared chasis are here to stay? Profit margins are way more important than company image. Just some food for thought even if it is only hump day junk food. The Z32 is one of the serious Japanese performance cars that is revered by owners of four-cylinder front-drivers, and one way that opinions on cars will always fall is that looking "cool" is nowhere near as good as looking -niiiccceee-.
