the Concept, EVOLV or something like that, was made into the RX-8 .

I hope it isn't like that picture. I like compact and small but thats just too much. It does even look like it could be the successor to the S15. Still if it is a good RWD car (meaning moderately fast and fun as hell to drive) it would be a option for me.

I don't like it. Kind of looks like a Lamborghini..... Why do they have to make concept cars usually so fooking ugly??!

My theory is they want to make it as radical as possible, to exercise ideas on how it should look, before toning it down to something that wouldn't turn people off, but will find new and possibly exciting. They let their creative juices flowing in concept form then let reality kick them in the ***.

the only time i would ever EVER buy a brand new 240sx is if nissan would bring the s13 back into production.

i think everyone would agree with me... only this time, nissan should throw in the sr20det.

mark my words, if they were ever smart enough to do that, it would be the biggest success nissan would ever dream of. especially if it had a price tag under 25k.

i think this would also work with the s14, if they market it as a full blown sports car. don't they know that the older cars look better, are more attractive, and are more appealing to people? they had an absolutely phenomenal success of the 180sx in japan that they made it until 1998. shouldn't you think that should tell them something.

they will never learn... mostly because they got taken over by the french. f that.

I don't know, the crowd who really wants the s13 to come back is comparatively small when you look at the buyer demographics for say, a sentra or something. Cars that emphasize driver fun/involvement only really target enthusiasts..and when you look around at the general populace of cars, most are just transportation and nothing else.

Two words. S15 lights.

On a 180sx those lights make the car PIMP.

Those are just appearance items though. I'm interested in how it drives.

What the hell is that? If it IS released, I will shun it completely, make fun of its drivers and never, EVER be willing to call it brother.

I agree.... I think that for popularity they should make it a little more sporty (that and I'd want a sporty car)............... I just don't think that it's all that sporty. But I'm sure that the design will change (or it better)

They need to make the body lower, making it look flat not round.

It looks more in line with the sentra based 200sx of the 90's.
