Last rumor I read said the turbo was out

Lets just say if it were bringing it to market with the turbo engine discussed, I would probably jump on one as my last "fun" car before moving onto more comfortable cruisers. Without it, the base MSRP will probably stay under $30K. With a turbo, the base would probably be in the mid to low $30Ks.

Now the next Nissan Z-car is being offered with a manual transmission and 400hp. I also like the styling of the artists renderings...reviving 240Z cues. Have a feeling that's going to jump into the $40Ks, so it's getting a little pricy. Still cheaper than the BMW Supra, but still...

Now if I decide to go "comfort" early, definitely interested in the next Mazda 6. It will come with a I-6 and RWD, two features I really value! Unfortunately I don't think they'll offer a manual. There are rumors they may do this in collaboration with Toyota. Toyota needs to drop V6s, and return to I6 engines, at least on their RWD automobiles! (Lexus GS, IS, etc.)
