Here's my $0.02. How often do you get your car industry news from whichcar.com.au? (or motor1.com - the other site I've seen with this information)

Well, only this one time... (Actually motor1.com and a number of other sites references whichcar.com.au, which I looked up because they apparently had the interview with the VP)

And if you carefully parse the language on the site, they learned (from the interview) that "planning for the next gen Z is already underway" and they quote the Nissan’s Senior Vice President for Global Design as saying “The Z-car, oh my god. Huge pressure,” said Albaisa when reviewing the to-do list of Nissan design work. “You can imagine I’m completely excited that I am in the position to work on that.”

So this seems more definitive that previous rumors, but still some wiggle room. We will really only really know when production cars actually roll of the manufacturing lines. Planning does not always result in production...
