I like it. Add that to the list right next to the Genesis coupe.

As for this car, it's a Nissan so the quality is second to none. Nissan makes some impressive cars. However, they are generally a fair amount more expensive than their competitors so tend to have to sell a car to the demographic above the one that would most likely buy it. |

I liked the old 240SX. It looks like Nissan is going back to its performance roots with all cars. I look forward to seeing the Nismo version.

I was discussing this today it seems like nissan is definitely the only performance oriented car company left as a whole, even there sedans have the fun to drive factor

just can't seem to leave

while we're on the topic of nissan sports cars... i saw a FAIL bucket pass me tonight. none other than a black GT-R
anyway, on the not-240... if something happened & i couldn't get the camaro, this sounds like a possible consolation prize. 2+2, RWD, 370z platform. now give it some real power & it'll be a hit. that variable compression thing sounds promising (assuming it works right). i guess that means it'll have a factory boost controller, too Quote:

As I said before, I don't think the Camaro will be the last SS, as the cobalt is being killed of, it's time for GM to drop that DI turbo ecotec in the Chevy Cruze, and add a limited slip and we got our selves a contender
