People want a 240z in a world where producing such a car is difficult due to strict regulations, Toyota and Subaru have proven that it's possible, but it doesn't change the fact that Nissan loves to re-use chassis', and all of their current chassis' are large and heavy. Designing a car from scratch and tooling a factory to produce such a car is an expensive and time consuming venture, I wish they'd do it, but it doesn't seem likely.
