But wouldn't AWD have greater constraints in terms of space and cost?
That's why I proposed using the Z's transaxle, diff and driveshafts (obviously shortened to fit the new platform).
And since you mentioned it, Nissan could benefit from a mini-ute to go up against the RAV4 and the CR-V. :dunno: Sounds like justification for me.
