You'd want one for yourself then, huh?

Yes and no.
Calling the S-chassis 'dead' isn't necessarily accurate - they can always revive the chassis name.
Sure, the S13 and S14/15 chassis designs are obsolete, but that doesn't mean the S-chassis hasn't continually done that since the original Silvia, onward to the S110, S12, and on...

I welcome a newly-designed S-chassis, even if it's a reworked Z chassis. It's still the FM platform, which falls in line with Nissan's business plan that's been going for years now.

I've claimed for years that I plan to NEVER buy a new car, simply because it's a poor economical decision... but a car like they're describing may get me to change that plan.
