This is all nissan needs to make. the idea of optional V6 and all that stuff is retarded. It ruins the whole "simple, light weight, inline 4, rear wheel drive car" idea. A turbocharged option would be better.

This new car doesnt have to be an S chassis, but mabey just a car with all the stuff i said above, and i could definatley see it selling. Selling mostley to car enthusiasts and people who want an affordable simple car that looks good.

I forgot to add to that list, it should be pretty ligthweight, and no TCS or anything like that. That just makes the car more expensive and ruins the simplicity.

VLSD should be an option, not standard, since the car isnt to be a sports car, just a simple affordable car that just oh so HAPPENS to be lightweight and RWD. Just like the 240sx.

It also doesnt have to be brought back as an S chassis, but mabey still an SX. For example, the 250sx. There was the 200sx before the 240sx.

The Z cars back in the days of the S30, obviously werent Z30. So the chassis changed, but they were still Z cars.

Also, if the car is kept really simple, and theres no V6 option, and the car is in the sub 20k range, which would obviously mean its not as nice as the 350z, enough to make a 10k difference, then i dont see how it could in any way hurt the sales of the 350z.

The civic doesnt hurt the sales of the accord much, but imagine if there was a V6 option for the civic.

^ thats sounds a lot better than some ideas

[SketchyRollin564]

thanks, too bad nissan will never make this dream car

[White Comet]

of course not but i'd rather stick w/ what i have

[xckid]

...Woot free post FTW!

i am surprised that this thread has not been locked?!

i accidently forgot my sig woops

The new RWD Nissan coupe can take some pages off the new Honda Fit, such as seat features and rear cargo room for grocery (already said before).

Honda sells it so well because it's people friendly and it handles much better on highway than any other compact.

[Zippy69]

Where my ears are connected smells like cheese.I like nuts.Thread is pointless unless we have a petition to sign!!!I will sign the fukin' thing, just give it here!

[Soravia]

I'm going to look around at the dealers on Sunday to check out different cheap cars that are targeted toward younger generation. I think fuel economy and insurance will play a large role in making an affordable car. Insurance for 350Z will cost a lot more than an 'Economy coupe" for a 21 years old driver with one accident. There will be big difference even between VW Rabbit and VW GTI.

[White Comet]

good luck but i dont think it'll change anything

*sigh* Soravia, how much rear space do you think if you took a Honda Fit and had to make room under the rear seats for the differential and driveshaft? RWD hatchback? I think thats for sure not gonna happen unless it's like the Clio.

Fuel economy, insurance prices.. I think we've officially ruled out your V6 option. It's pointless and would go against anything in this markets desires except performance wise. If you want it, get the 350Z can't afford the 350Z then what can you afford? Nothing (in this market Mustangs are a whole different ball game), THANK YOU. Suck it up and buy the best that you can afford.

So, technically we've weeded out V6 options. Subs aren't necessary, we aren't trying to be pretty boy show car market shizz... we're looking for performance. Sub's not necessary as a standard feature. Thank you. VLSD would be key. TCS ABS VDC should all be optional to keep base price down and option available for those who care about safety or crappy driving abilities.

WHERE IS THE PETITION?

[brizanden]

isnt abs on like every car no matter what now i think it should stay on there is nothing wrong with it unless u plan on building a race car outta this thing lol

[xckid]

woot1 doing the happy dance, hopeful come back of the silvia! lol

[White Comet]

i just personally dont like abs and the only accident ive ever been in was because of abs

[ryguy32789]

now how could that have been possible?

[White Comet]

what me? in the snow abs kicked in it didnt slide or anything, abs just kept it rolling, rear ended a guy at a stop sign

[ryguy32789]

lol then didnt it do it's job? You would have slid even futher if the wheels locked up.

[brizanden]

true true abs made it a little better yeah u still hit but u prolly came outta it a bit better then if u flipped off the road lol

[White Comet]

lol thanks but i was going 5mph i wouldnt have flipped. im sure abs helps in higher speed accidents, but this was low speed short distance and i know i could have slide to a stop b4 hitting that guy if it didnt have abs

[pileofherpes]

lol thanks but i was going 5mph i wouldnt have flipped. im sure abs helps in higher speed accidents, but this was low speed short distance and i know i could have slide to a stop b4 hitting that guy if it didnt have abs

No, as others have said, you would have slid, wheels locked, into the back of him going faster than you were with abs. Have you taken physics yet?

[White Comet]

yeah and aced it. a slide it easier to control then spinning on ice and the slide would slow while spinning doesnt as fast

[pileofherpes]

Convincing...

[White Comet]

u being sarcastic? i'll take a pic of where the accident happened to help explain it if u want. if it had slide i might have even been able to turn it sideways so as not to hit at all. the accident was deemed not my fault though. idiot stopped 2 car lengths b4 the stop sign suddenly and the parking lot was deemed to be insufficiently prepared for the whether (no ice or anything)

So I guess you did better in physics than you did in English. Jesus man, you gave me a headache with your disgusting syntax and lack of punctuation.

p.s. If you are sliding, you can't turn. Your imaginary principle is wrong.

[ryguy32789]

Well, I did my research and White Comet is right. It takes slightly longer to stop with ABS in the snow. But you maintiain steering. If you had no ABS the car will not steer.

[White Comet]

sorry i dont grammar check or spell check when im on an online forum and i type very slow (like 2o wpm) so i use short hand version of words my bad. ps- whered u get the idea that u cant turn if ur sliding? turning aside. when the wheel stops moving ur source of motion is stopped and u slow to stop (given enough room) if the wheels is still spinning its still aiding in ur forwards motion. how is this hard?

[160Z]

As I see it, Nissan has 3 icons; the Z, the GT-R and the Silvia. The Z was out of production for a good coupe of years, so was the GT-R, and so is the Silvia. Nissan knows it doesn't need much to market these cars but they can't compete with each other. So no V6, forget about it, a 2.5L 4-cyl n/a or a 2.0L turbo is the best you'll get. And no AWD, go buy a GT-R if you want AWD, but you definitely get RWD.

Will Nissan make it? I think (hope) so as Nissan knows that these cars attract people to the brand, if they can't afford it they may just buy a Sentra.

[ryguy32789]

I got the idea that you can't turn if you're sliding from experiece lol. If the front wheels arent spinning you're on a 2800lb sled, just along for the ride. You can't steer if the front wheels lock.

[White Comet]

u can still slide to the side and control it, ive done it in both my fc and the s13. if a wheel stops spins it doesnt mean it cant be turn
