You guys really like the new Silvia? Err looks pretty gay to me Looks just like a lime green A/C with way to much going on in the grill area. As for the engine choices

[Mr_Coupe]

the green looks like a photoshop its suppose 2 be silver matter fact it is a photoshop

[600hppot]

It looks like they drowned the A/C in Lake Ugly.

[altimacoupelvr]

it reminds me too much of the hyundai genesis coupe!!

[mcheddadi]

here's the original photoshop in low rez:



looks much better in silver than ugly lime green photoshop style

[fiftytseng]

[Kanard]

[Sparktree]

Is it just me, or does it looks alot like hyundai Genesis?

[altimacoupelvr]

i already said that. i pulled up a side by side with the genesis and it looks so much like it!

[squik]

I have been a huge Silvia fan since I have started driving. I think I probably will trade my coupe in for one. Not to say I dont love my coupe, but the Silvia even in its American 240sx versions has been something I was sad to miss out on!

Why is the engine so weak?

If they offered a Supercharged 3.5 or 4.0L I would think about it.

First off if it was a supercharged 3.5 liter then it would cannibalize Z sales a supercharged 4.0L would cannibalize GT-R sales. Remember the GT-R is a 4000Lbs 3.8L twin-turbo.

The reason why its a 2.0L or 1.8-1.6L Turbo is so it does not cannibalize G and 3.5 Altima Coupe Sales.

This is a RWD small entry level sports coupe/car. There is a reason why the A/C do not come with 3.7L V6's and are FWD as not to cannibalize G coupe sales. If the Silvia is faster and cheaper then the A/C, G, Z, and GTR no one would buy any of the above.

I see the silvia being priced between a 2.5 A/C and 3.5 A/C and the performance in between as well. Also for some of the folks here who seem to think RWD = + 100HP. This is not true, remember on front engine cars that are RWD, (Z, G, GT-R, and most likely the silvia) there is a heavy and long drive sharft from the front of the car to the rear. If we took two identical cars one FWD and one RWD, the FWD will give more power to the wheels simply based on the fact, there is more weight due to the drive train and more power is lost due to friction and theromodynamics on the RWD car. The way to fix this is my moving the engine to the back and have a mid-engine/rear-engine vehicle, ala M1, R8, many Porsches. The GT-R reduces the weight by using a Carbon Fiber drive shaft but I believe on the Z's and G's and prolly on the Silvia its strong but heavy steel.
