i love everything but the tiburon looking tail lights but shit i'll take one tonight!!

[ESmorz]

As long as it doesn't have the 370 type headlights... it's all gravy.

[CKAMC]

I am going to ignore the rendering pics because we all know thats NOT how it will end up looking

body lines are close tho

anyways

5.3PSI!!!

VCR!!!!

looks like this next motor will be a fun one

[blitzkrgCT9A]

I will buy one in a heartbeat if its available now!

looks like a lil brother of the new G37s

[Baka Sama]

I like the long flowing hood and how low it appears to sit. Overall a very nice looking car. 2600lbs eh? Ill have to wait see what the car really looks like but the subaru hatch has a slight better concept design. Still, a hot car.

teaser, rear reminds me of the new civic


renderings i guess...front looks like pulled back murano, rear reminds me of current tiburon



updated specs, help on some of the translating please

Not bad the sides are a little swooshy. Rear looks hot. Front could stand a redo but overall it does garner a thats nice statement.

[DreamN]

I really like that rendering. Rear could use a little work. Just seems so bland compared to the front and sides.

[ramman434]

I like the front rendering however, it needs to lose the Murano grille and the chrome pieces under the curves of the grille that are next to the headlights

[MikeisNissan]

I really hope thats the next 240..

i actually really like the grill setup...its very retro S13 looking...you have the triple projector headlights with the large plastic grill in the middle...only thing that would make it better is if it said "SILVIA" smack dab in the middle instead of nissan

and the kit is just a modified Origin Urban kit for the Z33

[WILDACEX187]

yummy. if it looks similar to dori's design im down.

[kouness]

i like how the front is but the rears remind me of a hyundai tiburon

I like it too. However if you're gonna modify the rest of the car... why not ?

If the middle stayed the same, and the sides of the girl were more vented, I think that would look awesome.

Aren't they illegal now?

[kingkilburn]

I can't believe non of you think that grill looks like a Subaru.
Also that render looks like ass to me. The proportions are all off. It's like a Solara, or some other secretary's car(I know the original 240 was billed that way).

I dont think it will do too well if their estimated base price is at 25k. Not when 350z/s2000s are at 15k and Evos/STI's are at 20k in the used car world.

I think they need to aim it more at a $19,999.00 base for better sales. That way they can do their "below 20k" campaign.

[shrimpscampi]

The tail is not gonna look like that...I have faith in Nissan...

lol...horrible comparions...NO car manufacturer prices its cars to compete against USED cars

25k for a RWD sports coupe from nissan would be a damn good entry level price for a car thats 250hp, RWD, 4cyl and turbo (though 20k sounds a bit more appealing)...the car is being poised to compete with hynudais genesis coupe, toyota/subarus new coupe, and saturn sky/pontiac solstice...the car isnt being positioned against the Evo or the STI...those 2 cars are in a class of their own (4 door sedans that are sports machines)...the S2000 is positioned against the 370Z/G37 and RX8...the entry level field is WIDE open for play

So, it would be like 240's have always been.

I don't see the base price being $25k. I think it'll start under $20. Yea maybe $19,9, but that's fine with me. I'll take a base model with a diff and no other options, thank you.

[Baka Sama]

dorkidori_s13

If you read my post i never said they should adjust their base price based on used cars. Im saying we, the people who are looking to buy these cars, have a lot more options under the base price of the new silvia. Therefore i dont think sales of the car will do as well as expected.

[exitspeed]

I think the car will be meant to be more bar bones. I don't think Nissan is expecting most people to cop the Nav and the tech package.

I'd hope, and I believe they will market it as a enthusiast car.

Women will just buy it cause it's cheap and a "cure 2 door. Like OMG! SEXY"
