"an entry-level model that would sport a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine ... It stands to reason that the 200 HP QR25DE four-pot powering the Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec-V would be a good fit, and if Infiniti decides to continue with a focus on RWD vehicles, we smell a sales sensation"
this is pretty much exactly what I was thinking of / hoping for out of Nissan.
The only hitch is that if its badged an Infiniti then it will be heavier and more expensive than if it were badged a Nissan (and a 240sx/Silvia revival). Hopefully there will be both Nissan and Infiniti branded/skinned versions of this car.
