Message	The idea of going with a smaller engine is to save on weight, not on cost. Also, Nissan now has a sport coupe concept based off the Juke that would compete with the FRS/BRZ. They have no intention to take the Z down to that market. Personally, I hope they might offer a cheaper NA model as well as a more upscale TT version. Bring the base price for the NA down around $25K and the TT price could be higher. Let's face it, a $50K Z still would be half the price of a GTR. And it's not like Nissan is struggling to sell the GTRs they're making.
