What about them bringing a new silvia into the family again, goddamn nissan has had a fairlady, GT-R and Silvia running side by side forever, damn them for giving us 2 out of 3, I think they might just bring the S16 one day, and I bet that if they did it would be RWD and Turbo here due to the popularity of RWd coming back, and turbo technology allowing manuf. to turbo cars in north america legally more easily and with more power. I mean we never had evos, wrx's, GTRs, etc...and now we even have turbo mx5s, and turbo this and that......well i just had to say something about the silvias, makes me upset, goodnight
pssomeone please help me with my KA problem in the KA NA sectionthan ks
new GT-R is nice, but what about....

theyve lowered the base price on the Zs to make up for that though. 300zxs used to be expensive as..... and s15 spec r aeros were atleast 25k with Zs being 26k and economy going up thats a perfectly fine replacement. although i prefer 4 bangers i feel more sad when i check how honda's and toyotas car line up. they butchered almost all of their cars and made them fit for fat people.

The Z is totally not the same design concept as the S15. The Z is a grand tourer, always has been, and the Silvia is more of a lightweight sports car.
I think they SHOULD put something 4 cyl, turbo, and RWD in the 20-25k price range, maybe with a couple of trim levels within that range.
It'd give them competition for the Ion redline, Cobalt, WRX, and SRT-4, but be RWD, which is unique in that price bracket. There's no reason they couldn't do it. Shouldn't be any more than 250hp, maybe even just 225-250, but with a stout turbo engine that can take some extra boost if the owner is so inclined.

Re: (HashiriyaS14)
Yea, and with all the tuners running rampant they'd be sure to make a killing, specially if it's in that price range. There'd be a lot of used car sales going on lol. Sports coupe, RWD Turbo, Nissan, 4 banger, sporty, cheap....mine Sounds like a plan lol

vg? its a vq....Juujai wrote:yank out the vg35 out of the 350z and theres a lightweight sports car. i think you guys just want a car that resembles the s15 thats all not really anything else. i mean if i saw a car that looks like the s15 for even 30k id probably buy it in the us.
Re: (Juujai)
im pretty sure i didnt see anyone say that, personally i think itd be nice if it was a natural evolution of the s15, something like how the s13 coupe --> s14 --> s15...Juujai wrote:yank out the vg35 out of the 350z and theres a lightweight sports car. i think you guys just want a car that resembles the s15 thats all not really anything else. i mean if i saw a car that looks like the s15 for even 30k id probably buy it in the us.
oh god another "please bring back the 240" thread.
it will never happen!because cheap sports cars will go right into the hands of the young, then the stary wrecking them, then the insurance goes way up, then sales go down, then it would have all ben a big mistake. nissan has already ben down that road in america, and it didn't work out. trust me i would love to see it happen but don't get your hopes up.

I think the sprite ads said it best when they said: Image is nothing...
Seriously, I'd drive the Oscar Meyer wienermobile if it could slalom like a champ and could pull like a viper.
A nice affordable sports car for the budgeted folks sounds nice, but like it was said before me, its quite unlikely.
