Would you buy a new 240 if it came out?

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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
