It's a big, ugly beast that's for sure. I gotta admit that 3.5 twin turbo is really appealing. Too bad it's stuck in this and that other ugmo the QX80.
Put that 3.5TT in the Z and I'd consider it. That thing would be a rocket!

It's no wonder Nissan is still struggling. People have been screaming for an Xterra replacement for years, and a sporty entry level car like the Sentra SER or 200/240SX.... And then they killed the maxima, all the NVs....

That extra half liter of displacement would make the Z a little cooler. I believe it makes 516 lb ft totally stock in the QX80 which impressed me but it's a shame this engine is stuck in two fatzo SUV's.

I believe if they put the IDx concept into production years ago Nissan would be in a much better position today. At this point they’re putting lipstick on pigs (old pigs at that) and just trying to stay afloat.
