The 370z is kind of precarious in the market today. Very few people care about buying a $30K 2-seater with little to no practically.
A Ecoboost Mustang Premium and Camaro 2LT starts in the $29-31K range. Those 2 cars have semi-usable backseats and trunks. Better or worse still their performance metrics aren't all that far off the 370z - we are talking around the street where at most you go maybe 8/10ths.
I think to make a 370 successor work it either drops in price and size closer to the Miata/ Fiat 124 and adopts a 4-cylindar only engine range, or gets bigger with a backseat and trunk so it can steal muscle car sales while using the current 3.7, and optional TT 3.0. I think the latter would work better in Nissan's favor.
