I saw this on an autoshow show on TV last night. I was wondering if anyone else knew anything about it? Looks like a pretty nice car for a "budget" car. Too bad its FWD....

Didnt they try this before with with the 2000N/X?

 

That A pillar area is fugly.

 

Its a Scion TC with Nissan badges. Not bad if it comes to market for 18 or 19 grand.

 

I like it but it better cost less than 15 grand.

 

why the hell would you want a shifter that comes off of the dash. that's the fuglyest nissan I've seen...

 

oh, yeah... I saw this is Sport Compact last month... Supposedly an alternative to the Sentra. Sentra's are going more like lowerlevel altima's, and this is the cheap sporty one for Nissan. Turbo'ed 4 banger. I think it looks cool inside... IMO, looks like one of those newer civic hatchbacks with the shift coming out of the dash. Those things are hard to get used to.. I feel like every time i shift, I am reaching to change the radio station.

 

seen the new 240sx? fugly as well

 

Post a link.

 

thats a look only mother could love

 

Yeah it is fugly, it just doesn't look right! And I still don't care for the front wheel drive.

 

While not to offend the 350Z owners but I don't even care for the newer Z designs. I have a 1977 280Z. This car now is really fugly

 

heres yer link....

 

looks like a lexus lol

 

three wornds POS!!!!!

 

Heh...hey guys....um....i sorta...um...like it....I am kinda into the whole silvia thing, and think that looks OK (it looks at least somewhat similar to the S15 as opposed to the R34 and R35 relationship) I think w/ a kit, that car could look really aggressive, of course its gonna look fugly stock.

EDIT: What is an SR20VET...it says 4 DOHC, tell me it isnt gonna be a V6, that would be just one step forward and two steps back, I guess I could google it, but i'm too lazy.

 

The SR20VET has been around for a little while (i googled it myself!)

heres some info from: http://www.nissan-global.com/GCC/Jap...001019_0e.html


"The turbocharged GT model, scheduled for release in February 2001, is
powered by the newly developed SR20VET engine. This 2.0-liter 4-cylinder
engine is the world's first turbocharged engine to incorporate a variable
valve lift and timing (VVL) system, enabling it to generate 280 PS (206 kW)
of power for exhilarating acceleration. In addition, torque output in the
low to medium speed ranges has also been increased for improved driveability
in urban areas as well."

also added another pic:

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Sylvias!! I think this one looks awesome. I'm not a fan of the pic I just added, due to it looking like something out of DUB Magazine... but nonetheless, this is going to be a sweet car.

 

cool, thx for tha info. that S16 definately looks better.

 

i think they need to fill that void in thier line-up...but im just kinda sad that thier original competition was the SRT-4, the WRX, and the Cobalt SS...now they got rid of the idea of trying to beat the neon...and the interior better change or everybody is gonna make fun of them for stealing the SI's shifter and overall ugly styling ques.

 

lol
you actually think that's gonna make it over to the states in that form?
you need to review your Nissan history a bit, no nissans save for the Z's ever made it stateside with a turbo for our market.
