so does anyoen know anything about this car? I think it looks hot..

could this be the 240's successor?

i believe this is the car that everyone was pulling their hair over, thinking it was going to be the next silvia s16.

nissannews.com

marketed as entry level

exterior:
fender flares
integrated airfoil (a spoiler?)
19" wheels (yippee...)

tech:
FF (bah.)
2.5liter turbocharged
6spd

seems to me like a entry into FF 'sports' cars. trying to break in where the sentra SER couldn't.

[sykikchimp]

interesting. I think it looks a lot better than those concept drawings..

stupid ff.

it's a turbo altima with a cadillac front end

Ok guys heres the scoop...this infermation comes from the debut of the car from the NAIAS. This concept is the concept fot the next SENTRA, NOT THE NEXT 240! Sucks huh...oh well. Most people didn't like how it looked anyway. I'll post some live pics of it on Sat night from the show...Oh and their story with the concept is "why can't we make a inexpensive car look like alot more" :cj:

Yes, this would be a new compact coupe.

I see some design similarity with the current Tiida (JDM Sentra-sized hatch).

No one wants to produce an entry-level rwd car. :(

Looks like Nissan is trying to make a Scion TC

Nissans answer to to the tC

[ICKY]

Or it could be the answer to the RSX Type-S. 2.5 Liter turbo? I can imagine it'll be a big hit with the FF guys if it's cheap enough. I wouldn't mind giving one a test drive though... *ebil laugh*

Hey guys look at it this way...in a few more years we'll be able to get 350's for pretty cheap :)

azeal is ugly in my opinion..theres no sporty thing about it at all *shrug*.

[sykikchimp]

I think it'll be a great upgrade for the sentra. I really like what they did with the grill. It's the "tooth" without being the "bucktooth"

:-P

[Ghettokracker71]

The commercial could read...

"The Scion tC as seen by Nissan Engineers".


Really ugly,but turbo 2.5,eh? FWD or not,I'd consider it....Maybe its trying to compete with the SRT-4,and tC? Fast,and ugly? Proble the QR25DET?

so true. :( on the other hand, there's plenty of RWD cars on the market now. in a few years we'll be driving them. s2k, g35, 350z, rx8, etc. i do wish someone would make a car with simpler, classic coupe lines... not this UFO crap nissan is putting out now.

i think i would feel bad beating the shit out of a brand new car anyway. plus the insurance would pwn me.

That car will not be the next Silvia or 240SX....I hate it when people bring that crap up. Anywho as much of you already know it's going to compete with the Scion Tc, RSX and Eclipse (barely). I wouldn't be suprised if this is the next Sentra SE-R....remember back in the day when the SE-R was a coupe...
