Would you buy a new 240 if it came out?

[exitspeed]

Say for the sake of argument, it came out and it was everything you wanted and expected. It was a great looking car, had good HP, nice 1.8lt or 2.0t engines, performed well, etc etc.

Would you buy one?

Could you buy one?

I'm really curious to see where the community of current 240 owners stand.

[LongGrain]

i'll stick with my old one.

but i'm not going to lie, i couldnt afford one if i wanted to.

[Fonix36]

i would love to buy one and have the old and the new but the money it would never happen

[nismo tuned s14]

Definitely. I'd wait until the second or third year it was out so Nissan can take care of all the kinks. :bigok:

[SlideWell]

id only buy it if it was a jdm car ;)

[Rnz520]

yea but I would wait until the second year

[thefro526]

Probably, as long as there's a way to turn off ABS, Traction Control and stability control. And it has to have at least a VLSD stock.

[shinhed]

No. I've kinda moved on although, I still love my current 240's too much to part with.

[Ben G]

if i had the money i dont see why not i would keep the current one though

[Future240]

I cant afford the old ones let alone a new one. Sigh.... college brokeness

[s13 @ fullboost]

id only buy it if it was a jdm car ;)

haha yeah if it isn't mad JDM tight then I cant do it :nono: =]

[usdm180sx]

Depends on how good the car is. I'd def check it out

[s13tilldeath*]

i coudnt afford it. nice to think i could though.:rofl:

[SlideWell]

haha yeah if it isn't mad JDM tight then I cant do it :nono: =]

i just prefer to buy a car that isnt washed down like the 240sx's were here.

[werwuryoantenaz]

i mean if it looks good...has good Hp...good stock mods...then why not...
well also depends on the price tag...if its gonna be around 20-25k maybe...

[VROOOM]

if it was faster and handled better than my MS3 than i would buy one.

[cisco240]

if it was faster and handled better than my MS3 than i would buy one.

What he said.

[luisgonz]

I can but 2 40s any where. WHat give's. You mean a s13 or s14 chassis here in the states you mean.

[40daws]

Need to add a CATEGORY: Would not buy because I could not afford,but would complain about the lack of aftermarket support as the reason why.

[SimpleS14]

I could buy it, but I don't know if I would.

The G37 coupe looks too nice...so I would be compelled to get that instead.

[aNskY]

i would probably buy one for a DD, then mod it and retire the s13 after the warranty is up.

[turtl631]

It's hard to say. The market is really missing a basic, fun RWD car. Everything is either a vert, too quirky (RX-8 with rotary, weird styling), too big and heavy, etc. I don't see a new 240 weighing less than the S14 did though, especially at a reasonable pricepoint. Best I would hope for would be a ~3000 lb. car with typical current Nissan styling and okay power, but nothing too crazy to avoid stepping on 370Z toes. If it used a decent engine that could be upgraded easily and safely though, that woudl be fine. I don't see it happening though with manufacturers trying to raise fleet MPG and moving away from RWD cars. Plus, what motor would Nissan use? A RWD QR25? bleh

I'd rather see a small, light Z car with like a VQ30 or VQ25.

[allntrlundrgrnd]

only if its a coupe :D

[Drifterxxl180]

only if its a coupe :D

What no love for hatches...? I would probably own one as long as it's not some dumb ass design and stayed RWD

[cxlo8331]

well it was everything i wanted... then yes.
i'd love to daily a new car.

[Future240]

Assuming I could afford it and it had everythin I wanted, hm it depends on my job, if I am makin 70-90k then no I would go for the big bro GTR. If I was rankin in at around 40-69, then yes I might be lookin that way for a car to have fun with.

But I dont think it would be a DD, would probably have a BMW for that

[buku_points]

nah...id stick my s14....god only knows when some rich idiot will end up with one and do something stupid like putting a s13 front on it......

[The ROMAN]

After a few years maybe. That adjustable crankshaft/compression ratio deal makes me think Ka-boom, though.

[blueshark123]

if it is 20-25k for that car ill buy it for sure thats really not that much compared to other cars out in the market range

[chibo]

Nope. Too many really, really nice cars available in the 10-20k range now. S2000, 350z, Evo, STi, E36 M3, E46 330i, C5 Corvette, LSX RX7's, RSX-S, MS3, MS Miata, etc.

[exitspeed]

I voted, yes on buying one the first or second year.

Assuming the car comes out in 2010, 2011/12 would be a good time for me to purchase a new car. It would be my daily, but I'd probably still not drive it in the winter. I'd autoX it as often as possible.

To me the car would be perfect if it was bare bones, 2.0t, 220-240hp, 2800-2900 lbs, low beltline, and I'd love if they had a two tone option. Pricing starting around $19k for stripped down model, and topping out around $28 with diff, nav, etc. I'd take a base model 2.t with diff as my only option. No wing, and probably no factory aero if it was offered depending on the look of the aero. Base wheels too.

[MudRacer]

I would only buy it if they dont put limitations like they did on the GT-R. I wanan be able to mod the hell out of any vehicle I own. Whether it be performance gain, or paint, style etc.

[exitspeed]

I would only buy it if they dont put limitations like they did on the GT-R. I wanan be able to mod the hell out of any vehicle I own. Whether it be performance gain, or paint, style etc.

You mean by voiding the warranty if you mod it? Almost all manufactures will do that. With the exception of the wheels. Don't expect any such strict regs on a car in this class. The car isn't going to be a wonder of the auto world like the GTR so there would be no reason for them to do that.

[braingone]

^ Mhm, can't compare a supercar to a regular sports coupe.

I'm 50/50 on it, I want to see what the final design and specs before I make up my mind.

[s15specR]

If it looks like the new concept that's been floating around the internet then NO....

[n_my_coupe]

alot of sports cars made earlier were RWD and alot of todays sports car are now FWD example the corolla so if this were to happen to the great 240 then NO i would not buy

[Future240]

^ I doubt Nissan would make it FWD, true they were lookin at some models, but I highly doubt they would pull that move with all the competition coming out with RWD models

[turtl631]

Haha, the corolla is a terrible example of a sports car.

Nissan doesn't have room for another FWD car in their lineup...where would it fit with the Versa, Sentra, and Altima already existing in various hatch, coupe, and sedan versions?

[808_s13]

Nope. Too many really, really nice cars available in the 10-20k range now. S2000, 350z, Evo, STi, E36 M3, E46 330i, C5 Corvette, LSX RX7's, RSX-S, MS3, MS Miata, etc.

i doubt you can buy a s2k or an evo in that range.
there more like in the 28k-35k. you can buy a Lancer, but not the Evo
edittion. shiet, for 10-20k, you can get your self a chevy cobalt or a hyundai :keke:

-makua[ace]

[LongGrain]

alot of sports cars made earlier were RWD and alot of todays sports car are now FWD example the corolla so if this were to happen to the great 240 then NO i would not buy

the corolla was never a sports car and it will never be a sports car.

[turtl631]

Used S2ks can be had in the low teens. Evos are still a bit more.

[RedStage]

If it were FR, approximate size of the S15, Designed as a follow on to the S-chasis (as in resembled the S15, 14, 13) had similar poer to the S15, I think Nissan would satisfy alot of people in the entry level sports car market (being the $25K range)

It would definately need to follow the S-chasis blood line though and carry on the styling from the S15.

[SleepR 240sx]

As long as it lives up to the current S-chassis brand I would def consider it. In all honesty probably wouldn't be able to afford it off the bat.

2.0t, 220-240hp, 2800-2900 lbs, low beltline

Seems like this is exactly what they got in japan with the s14 silvia. 220hp sr20det, 2700lbs?....i think if they came out with the same thing here in the states it would do very well...especially with the 240 craze as it has been recently. Granted not as much now as it was but still.

I'd give anything to have a brand new s13 from the factory lol. Swap the motor and DONE. Don't have to mess around with the 17 year old problems i have now lol...but then again what would a 240 be without problems?

[muddafakka]

I voted no mainly because I can't afford one at the moment.

Even if I had the money, I'd have to see the final product first and wait at least 2 or 3 years...or until there's sufficient aftermarket support. The same would apply to the small Infiniti coupe that's supposed to come out as well.

My main concerns are (specifically for the new S-chassis) :
-Will it be attractive and not look like all the other bars of soap on the roads nowadays?

-Can it perform?

-Will it be mod-friendly?

-Can the driving aids be turned off?

-Will it be under 3000 lbs.? (I understand it'll never be as lightweight as its predecessors but 2600-2700 shouldn't be an impossible task)

-Will Nissan keep their word and offer it at an affordable price?

If it meets or exceeds my expectations, I just might consider one. If not, then I'll check out the Toyabaru coupe.

[silly_13]

ewww ugly! lol

[tanks13]

I cant afford the old ones let alone a new one. Sigh.... college brokeness


i'm with this guy skool sucks but in the long run ill hope fully be outta skool making big bucks so i would hopefully be able to get on a lease hahahahahahah c'mon bro:fawkd:

[irax]

if they announce before the end of this year that the 240 would come back as a 2011 model? I would sell crack and buy one.

if it's a 2012 model, ill wait till we make sure there's no zombies first before i start planing.

[Future240]

i'm with this guy skool sucks but in the long run ill hope fully be outta skool making big bucks so i would hopefully be able to get on a lease hahahahahahah c'mon bro:fawkd:

hell yea college broke sucks, graduation and a real job is goin to kick ass:fawkd:

[Antihero983]

I refuse to buy anything newer than my 91 s13 and my 91 corolla.

why? too many god damn computer sensors and shit. Abs, traction control, air bags, stability control....bah. shit's for pussies.

[exitspeed]

If it looks like the new concept that's been floating around the internet then NO....

There is no concept floating around. The closest thing FROM Nissan as a concept is the Urge and that concept is years old now. The concepts you are referring to are nothing more then magazines renderings of what they think it might look like. About the same as if I did a rendering.

alot of sports cars made earlier were RWD and alot of todays sports car are now FWD example the corolla so if this were to happen to the great 240 then NO i would not buy

That was the 90's. This is now.

ewww ugly! lol

What is ugly? You havne't even see anything from Nissan?

Again people, I'm asking it like it came out and it was EVERYTHING you were hoping for. You LIKED how it looked, preformed well, and was competitively priced.

This is all hypothetical.

[sting2343]

yah it would be totally sick but im in the same "poor" boat and definitely could no afford a new one...

[Future240]

I would go for either a mini GTR or a 2009 Version of the S15, 220-250hp out of the box, features like HIDS, navigation, sport, comfort suspension, and a semi-luxurious interior for the higher end models. big aftermarket, easy to mod, I'd go to the stealership feeling like r-kelly in a daycare

[ripnbst]

i doubt you can buy a s2k or an evo in that range.
there more like in the 28k-35k. you can buy a Lancer, but not the Evo
edittion. shiet, for 10-20k, you can get your self a chevy cobalt or a hyundai :keke:

-makua[ace]


All cars listed can be had under 25k used and a few years old.

[ripnbst]

There is no flat out "No" option, there should be.

[beeracing s14]

if it got the altima/g35/350z mixed together, NO THANKS!

[VROOOM]

the new CobaltSS turbo would probably demolish half the cars on this forum. Car and Driver got better times out of the Cobalt than they did out of a Evo X
on the Lightning Lap 08.

[Future240]

I thought they were discontinuing the cobalt?

[VROOOM]

I thought they were discontinuing the cobalt?

i think 2010 they are changing to the Cruze but you can buy 09 Cobalt SS's in sedan and coupe.

[FRpilot]

I'd go to the stealership feeling like r-kelly in a daycare

you got that all wrong.

michael jackson is the one who enjoys scoping out the daycare centers.. r kelly likes older women and prefers to hang out at the local middle and high schools

[sr20boostn20]

chances are that if it did come out it would have the same g35ish body lines that every other sports car on the market today looks like,

i would definalty not buy it, id hate it

[exitspeed]

ugliest car ever

What are you talking about? You can find Evo 8's under $20k all day... S2Ks are a joke to find under $20k.

[SexPanda]

I voted Yes, but wait because, honestly, I think I'd still rather have a 135i over a future 240 if they look anything like the pictures I've been seeing...

blech.

then again they could come out with something totally nice and out of left field.

[Future240]

I voted Yes, but wait because, honestly, I think I'd still rather have a 135i over a future 240 if they look anything like the pictures I've been seeing...

blech.

then again they could come out with something totally nice and out of left field.

Its me!:keke:

But serisouly I would def go with a boosted 328I. However if Nissan does to the new 240 what they did with the GTR then sign me up

[SexPanda]

lol. Nice catch there.

I think if it came out and looked like, say, the new school 240z we've all seen, had a 2.0t engine, and started under 20k, then I'd get one... But id def wait. And again, I won't buy a new car. Depriciation's a bitch. By the time this comes out, I can get a used 135i for prolly the same price...

[Future240]

Yea by the time I got one, i would probably have a 328I or an s14 as a DD, and get a used new 240 for a project

[luckvx]

naw, i would stick with my old 240 and just get me something nice in that price range

[Arauz]

I'd probably get it

[dmax_silvia_s13]

Nope Never. I will never buy a new car unless I'm a pimp and can afford some crazy vip car or like some crazy exotic car.

[SilviaDoctrine]

I love my 98, but would not buy a new 240. No more japanese cars for me, I want to go German or Italian for my next car. So far there's nothing I really, really like in the market, except for the M6 which is out my price range right now. :(

[JVDSKYRINE]

Meh I would rather mod and beat the shit out of my old car then spend the initial high price of the new one. And I think i would rock the new maxima that things hot for a dd imo. Nice baby wagon.

[adrians_s13]

I voted "no" for 2 reasons.

one: because I'm not in the financial possition to get one.

two: I wouldn't get it because I would somewhat want to modify it, but I would be very hesitant to buy a new car and void its waranty just because I modified it.

If I were to ever get a brand new car, it wouldnt be something I'd want to modify (anything 2 door)... it would more be a sedan or truck than anything.

[Future240]

Now that I think about it I may not. In 2011 I will have just graduated only a year ago (hopefully) and I will more than likely either be still paying on a BMW 328i or DD a 250sx (RB25). So I dont think I would be in a good position to buy a new or even used car.

However 2014 yea game on

[lflkajfj12123]

yeah what he said

[xpertsnowcarver]

id stick with what i have. 90s cars is where its at woot woot!

[LongGrain]

i love how people are saying NO because it will probably be ugly or whatever

"assuming it is everything you wanted and expected"

we are assuming it IS exactly what you are looking for in a new s chassis

[xpertsnowcarver]

hard to break up with a girlfriend you've been with for 3 years just cus a possible new 1 has bigger boobs ^_^

[exitspeed]

i love how people are saying NO because it will probably be ugly or whatever

I know. It's quit frustrating.

I'm getting a good idea though on what people are thinking.

[beeracing s14]

no im not coz im too old for this jdm shit. gotta start eyeing on VIPs with 6+ speed autos.

[g6civcx]

Just FYI as a baseline, and it's funny because I was looking at new cars. Right now the only 2008-20009 model year vehicles I would realistically buy would be a Viper ACR, Corvette ZR1, Porsche GT2, Aston DBS, Ferrari 430, Jaguar XKR (for nostalgic reasons when my uncle used to drive me around in his jag when I was a child), MB S65 (to spite my aunt).

Several years ago I would have ranked the 430 higher than the DBS but times change and so has my taste.

I have definitely outgrown small displacement high strung Japanese cars.


The only way I would buy a new 240 would be:

a) they gave the car some real balls with a supercharged V8 or something to that effect, or

b) they revived the 180SX fastback body a la kouki 180SX style. I would definitely buy one and swap in a V8.

[Future240]

no im not coz im too old for this jdm shit. gotta start eyeing on VIPs with 6+ speed autos.

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasnt it japan that started the VIP thing? Which in turn would make it JDM

[tr4c3]

I'm sure it'd be nice and I'd possibly think of wanting one, but I'm more then happy with my current collection and that's all I really need. No point in picking up extra debt. The thought would be there though.

[beeracing s14]

i know.. itwas my fckd up way of saying it.

[RurouniMidnight]

Yes. i am in the market for a new car soon i love my s14 and want to keep it then have a newer car to drive more on a daily basis. Im really looking forward to an offical announcement and final production concept of the car, and if it would meet all the above mentioned traits i would def hold on till it comes out and buy it.

[holemilk00]

If nissan put a S15 on the lot tomorrow, I would go sign my name to a payment. Still never understood why we got jewed on that one.

[93nismo]

if it was everything i wanted. yeash. buti dont have the cash for that and id rather have a z... i miss my z.....:'(

[s13_slideways]

i would get 1 the 2nd or 3rd year because the 1st year would be recalled most likley.

[Xclusive_racer]

YEs i would buy a 240sx,...that's all i have known sense i grew up in japan!
-180sx 1992
-s14 K's
-s13 coupe converted with skyline front and taillights
-240sx sr20det Black Top (FOR SALE as a FIX THE MOTOR) pics on profile
-s13 coupe K series motor

[Bubba]

20-25 it better be boosted... 17-19.9 and I would consider it a little sooner. I voted for 2nd year just to compare weight differences and possible improvements as usual.

[nasadriver]

What are you talking about? You can find Evo 8's under $20k all day... S2Ks are a joke to find under $20k.


you can find extremely low mileage ap1 s2000's for waaayyyy less than 20k, what are you guys talking about. 15k can get a a basically new s2k, 2003 year with 25,000 miles for 15k. thats where i am going after i win tihs lemon law case on my mazdaspeed 3, that or a volvo s60r. depends how ballsy i feel about driving my sr240 on the street once i get it back from body/paint shop.

[JeremyR]

i already have an s chasiss. when i buy another car, it will be a truck/suv and a trailer so i can tow my 240sx. i dont need 2 sports cars. it would be nice and all, but just a waste of money.

[nasadriver]

oh and yeah it was a rwd coupe with a turbocharged 4 i would buy the 240sx in a heartbeat. it it's an na v6, not so much, i would take a turbo i4 over a bigger hp v6 any day just for the modding benefits. plus, what does nissan/infiniti need another six cylinder coupe for.

and to the guy who said he would only buy it if it was a v8 or supercharged v8, that's blasphemy, everything the s chasis is not supposed to be about.

all they need to do is bring the s15 here and they would outsell any car that would be considered near it's competition, no more purpose for a 135i. my two cents.

[jskateborders]

If it was rwd preferably turbocharged and under 3000lbs yes.

[zorak]

i dont think so.

i want a cube.

i would just keep my s13.

[DCP94]

i would buy one if i had the money

[blasting_speed]

I'd love to get a new 240, but i don't make enough money to buy a new car. Maybe i'd get a used one and back in the same problem i am now with my 240. lol

[s142jzkillav10]

hell yea 240 FTMFW!!!!!

[aoiken3]

maybe once i graduate and make some real money but for now, i'll have to stick to the s13

[jj18extreme]

I do agree...Definitely. I'd wait until the second or third year it was out so Nissan can take care of all the kinks. :bigok:

[aNskY]

If it was rwd preferably turbocharged and under 3000lbs yes. under 3k is not gonna happen. prolly closer to 4. eg genesis coupe

[fl350]

yes if it came out as i wanted then i would buy one.

[Wheelchair]

maybe it's because i'm young at 23... but i don't think i'll buy a new car for awhile. for that money...maybe around 20~25k? i could build a real monster...or TWO monsters

[jskateborders]

If it had popups

[team13]

only a vert:snoop:

[murda-c]

under 3k is not gonna happen. prolly closer to 4. eg genesis coupe


I don't see why they would make it heavier than the z.

and the genesis is closer to 3k.

[aNskY]

actually its 3550...

cars are only getting heavier (stricter safety standards). i dont see a cheap sport compact getting any fancy weight saving stuff either

[GTChampion]

I think its the wrong time to release a new S chassis car. im with the guy that said airbag ABS TCS ect is for pussys. haha


ide wanna buy one but would probly have to wait & sell my current car witch ide never do .. so i dont know.

[turbo_dreams]

I always say to myself, if i had the chance to buy an s13 brand new right now, i'd be willing to pay 15k for a brand new 0 miles s13, even if i could find a used evo for that price, i rather go with the s13. Call me stupid, but i'm in love. If a new 240 were to come out and it wasn't all electrically controlled like the new gt-r and was more of a drivers car, i'd be game. An added plus would be factory recaro's, but i know that wont happen.

[k0013]

they did make a new Silvia, its called the Genesis coupe!?!

[NME-S14]

sell my kidney to the dying dude down the street. brapppp brappp! out the dealership lot...

[jdm2191]

i definitly would if they made it worth buying with the right power, suspension, & exterior it would be a must but would still keep the s13 just love them to much to ditch for a new one.....

[s13skank]

I didnt really like the s16 concept but it was just the concept i guess i gotta see how it would look

[T_ReX]

i say it just depends on what it looks like and the price also the performance.

[racebredZ32]

eh. if they came with a brand new rb26 =)

[GReddySTi05]

price performance and looks? maybe

[SC Rydah]

oh and yeah it was a rwd coupe with a turbocharged 4 i would buy the 240sx in a heartbeat. it it's an na v6, not so much, i would take a turbo i4 over a bigger hp v6 any day just for the modding benefits. plus, what does nissan/infiniti need another six cylinder coupe for.

all they need to do is bring the s15 here and they would outsell any car that would be considered near it's competition, no more purpose for a 135i. my two cents.

Well imho, I agree with the V8 statement, but not the rest. Their 6cyls (V6 AND INLINE) are what MADE Nissan what it is today! The S-Chassis helped, but c'mon!! The 240 and 260Z?! The Maxima?! The SKYLINE?! THE GT-R??!! They're a SPORTS CAR company! Honda is good with 4cyls, they're good with 6's. THAT'S what they need with another 6cyl! RAW POWER! TRUE TO LIFE BALLS!!

But i'd do what others have said if they had another 240 out (240, 250, SX, Z whatever...). I'd wait a few years to let them work the kinks out...and wait til the first model drops in value, then buy it for FAR LESS than new. THEN swap in a 3.5 or 3.7L V6 and turbo that!!

I ALWAYS SAID that the FIRST 240SX should've come with a 6cyl from the factory.

And the 135i can beat a new or used M3, and the 335i due to it's LIGHTER WEIGHT, RAW POWER, AND TURBOS. Power to weight ratio is nice. So idk about a new 2.0T 240 "beating anything near it's competition" without more gusto - from the factory.

[NLA]

would prob cost tooo much for a 240 as famous as they are now days lol

[afred]

I'd keep my car

[tphumbert]

if its priced over 20k hell no i'd rather get a Z

[RickyS13.]

i would go back in time and purchase a canadian s13, new one not so much.

[240zach]

idk if its been posted or not, but i saw a car nissan made and it was a 2010 replica of the s13 hatches if they where still made..it said 240sx in the corner windows all that, but it had a vq turboed. idk if that'd be stock or not

[s14sport]

it would have to follow in the S15 footsteps. S16??? It MUST be turbo with many engine options.....not that this is practical, but, no N/A motors. Your choice of a turbo 4 or turbo 6. This way I can stay mod-potential happy.

Good weight balance must be retained and light, nimble and handling a must. it would have to STILL be a number one contender in the drift scene as far as driftability. not too much computer controlled functions. traction control and limits have to be easily overriden.

maybe a nice brembo brake option? :)

some kinda bolstered seat (ie. 350Z)

keep it simple stupid and under 25K's and I'd be all up in that like the creme in a boston kreme donut

[1 88 U]

I'm up to $4,500 on my FT-86 down payment savings account. Nissan better crank something out in the next year to keep my money from going to Toyota.

[rwdaccordswtf]

Considering where the car styles are going to now........theres no way in hell a 2011 or 2012 240sx would look good unless they went completely old school on its ass and not slapping ricey stuff on like those new sti's wings......jesus christ they look perfect without tho

Get a Genesis Coupe and move on man, thats never going to happen with Nissan.

[fearlessKouki]

^ +1
I'm waiting to see how the the ft86...looks very interesting!!

[NissanEnthus]

At the right price and can compete with the genesis coupe...i'm in.

[ladylike]

Hellllll no.
My s13 is perfect.
I barely even like the s14s.

[driftn_silvia]

At the right price and can compete with the genesis coupe...i'm in.

and if it can compete with the FT-86 even tho speculations are that it might be in the Scion line.

[Eramo323]

it would probably look stupid like the new challengers and camaro's that have came out not to mention the new chargers "added 2 more doors" i think it will kill the scene...

[irax]

duh! i mean it has the perfect naming convention for Scion. For sure as hell they aren't going to call it a Corolla.

[driftn_silvia]

Obviously not, but it would be nice if it was in the Toyota line.

[LuckyRPS13]

I would, if i could afford it. And i could if my wife would go get a job.....

[ov1989]

I cant afford the old ones let alone a new one. Sigh.... college brokeness

i 2nd that my friend

[240mike1022]

If only I.could afford it and if they were to have some se editions probalbly like a nismo. Or spec v or whatever

[itsmatttt]

hell yeah thad be so sick. i bet everyone that said no would see it and want it immediatally.lol

[frftw]

yes. just yes

[Brinton]

No because they would all have roofracks and fatlace stickers.

I would stick to my s13 untill the trend dies down.

[Live2Slide]

probably would look ugly. Older is sometimes better haha

[KOME]

Warranty Void

[bc.]

Yes, I would buy the new Scion FR-S, but only as a used car. Buying new cars is a waste of money.

[cali0240]

theres tons of pics of the new "240sx" model but they all look like concepts. nothing similar to the s13 or s14 not even the s15. who knows...

[JSimpson]

If they just made the s15 in the states a shitload of people would have bought it... just like the first evos sold back in '03 were on backorder for like 4 months

[Akito86]

The rps13 sold great in japan and S15 looks sooo Nice it be nice to re-do both a coupe and a fastback from Nissan. Japan needs to make more exciting RWD like before.
Gt86 its awesome I want one I have a hatch AE86 right now but will Toyota release a hatchback 86GT in future old school looking with mechanical LSD?....

I must admit Sucks that the 86GT was released as a Scion in the US. Just slap a Toyota one! :3

[FU12]

No. Too many reasons to list.

[imoverherre]

Naw I like the new frs-scion

[tapdeznutz]

probably would look ugly. Older is sometimes better haha

i agree that is why i enjoy new used cars :fruit:

[vas570sx]

if it were similar to an s14 or s15 in size, yes. But if it ends up being the size of a 350 or 370, ill pass..

[fliprayzin240sx]

Wheres the option for I dont buy brand new cars?

[shanes14]

looking at the issues with all of nissans new cars, i would have to say no.

[240sxKouki]

I just got my new Modified mag in the mail today, and there is a small article in it about the s16. They are going to be making it to compete with Toyota FRS and Subarus BRZ.. Im excited to see it develop

[tapdeznutz]

Yes, I would buy the new Scion FR-S, but only as a used car. Buying new cars is a waste of money.

been there a few times bro...depreciation hurts like a mofo on trade ins and stuff. first new car i bought was '04 sentra spec v, was fun...then traded in for '05 maxima, that was hella fun but not more new... 2-3 years used is perfect.

[BossHogg]

depreciation only hurts if your indecisive and plan to resell/get money for it in a few years. Buy a car for a long term investment and get your money's worth. If you're one to keep trading in cars after a few years, that is just a bad investment and money management all together. Buy something you want/need for practical use and run it till it dies. ex. Truck- for towing, Escalade- picking up bitches at the club, Convertible lebaron- picking up underage girls at the mall. You get the point.
