This thing just looks like a weird ass hybrid between an suv and a sadan.

Voted yes because we been begging Nissan for an entry level, RWD, turbo coupe for 25 fucking years!

If it looks like this then I would vote YES, but reality is cold and harsh. We all know its not gonna look like that. Those are all pipe dreams.

This thing looks like absolute garbage....

Copycats of small time Japanese tuner companies is one thing. Copycats of the 5th largest automaker in the world is something entirely different.

i really dig it, especially the NISMO version. there is a lot of heritage in this car INCLUDING THE CSP311 SILVIA! the car was built with influence taken directly from the silvia, the laurel, the skyline and the bluebird (aka the 510)

See dori im not confident itll outperform the FRS. Probably going to use the MR engine outta the Juke and weight the same or more. Only thing it has going for it performance wise is the short wheelbase. Weight balance is another thing too

***dorkidori_s13*** · 01-16-2014, 09:28 PM

the car will HAVE TO outperform the FRS if nissan wants any shot in hell with the new platform.

nissan and toyota have a HUGE rivalry with one another and have done for decades. count on the FRS pushing the IDx to perform!

I voted YES for Nissan to build the car. Yes the concepts "external" looks are not eye pleasing. But I also looked at the specs. Nissan is offering a RWD coupe, 4cyl turbo for supposedly less than 30K. IDK about you guys but I've been waiting for a car like this from Nissan for years!!! It'll be good on gas in stock form (high 20's-30mpg. daily driving) & if you wanna make it a track monster slap on a bigger turbo, injectors, etc. Its already light weight. Nissan is killing it with the GTR. There is no doubt this car would be BOSS in Nismo form. I see it like this.. 1)IDx, 2)370Z successor, & 3) GT-R. Nissan Bring back what Toyota, Honda, & Mazda won't! Cars that enthusiats want!

simmode1 · 01-16-2014, 10:17 PM

I don't see how it could possibly NOT out perform the FRS. If they are about the same weight but one is turbo and the other is not... The IDX is likely to have much more usable torque. And assuming Nissan just uses the 197hp Juke engine, you acquire another what, 40hp from basic bolt-ons and a tune for around a $1g? How far does $1g take you in an FRS? A set of fucking tires.

You realize the only difference in that photoshop and the concept is that they painted it and slammed it on Meisters. What makes you think you couldn't do the same things in real life? Some ppl just lack vision and you gotta draw it out for them... smh.

But we all know the side pipes aren't likely to see production. Small gripe though.

who cares if the car out-performs the FRS? i mean, since when is the FRS considered a fast car?

OBEEWON · 01-17-2014, 10:16 AM

FRS drivetrain is max sucky.
Also that rendering is horrible. Looks like a piece of poo.

HOLY SHIT! IT DOES RUN!

Nissan IDx Nismo Driven (w/video) - Import Tuner

i THINK the NISMO edition is stick, listen to the exhaust notes when theyre moving the car around, it sounds like normal manual revs
