The latest news is that the IDX was axed because they couldn't keep the price below $25k
Toyota and BMW teamed up and are currently collaborating on an I6 engine that will find it's way into the production FT-1, future Z fighter.
I doubt that Nissan would go back to I6 layout, but one can dream.
Lost all faith in Nissan these days... Toyota/Subaru have sold over 100,000 FR-S/GT86/BRZ worldwide, there is a clear market for a RWD sports car to slot below 370Z.
Hybrid power goes against the essence of the Z... but it is 2014 and everything will be hybrid or electric soon.
