Old chassis, parts bin engine, and a new body. They pulled a Chrysler, doesn't mean it won't be fun just not an industry changer. It will be heavier than the out going 370Z but that's the price of OEM FI on an old chassis.

Who says a parts-bin car can't be an industry changer? If the car is good AND price/performance is a true bargain relative to anything else on the market, the fact that it shares parts with other/prior models won't matter much. I just worry that either the pricing will be notably higher than current rumors predict or the car will be unobtainable if demand is too great.
