There is something to do with the side view of the car, but the front and rear looks horrible IMO.
Im pretty sure a S16 concept would be successful. |

They need to scrap that design and go with one that looks sporting. I can't stand boxy designs on a sports coupe. Leave that to the SUV's and trucks. I am probably the only person who disliked the 2 door sedan-boxyness of the E30/E30 M3

Well, the E30 is not really a coupé. And it was yet ok for those times, but now it should not be boxy IMO. Something like modern Silvia would be nice.

It's kinda-like a WRX in that way everyone hates the new stock looking version but once it's out for a while and people start doing minor cosmetic mods to them it starts to grow on you. I can see the IDx being a good base to work with. I'm a little biased though because it reminds me of an old school Celica/Hakasuka mix and I love those cars.

Blue jean interior and baby poop paint finish not a fan. The Nismo though is abit interesting.

F1 has a lot of down force so that it won't fly out of the track and promote traction..it has a lot of power to move compared to other non racing vehicles, for cars that has no ability to fly the drag can be detrimental in some aspects. "OPINION ONLY" |

Ah I see.. Sorry about that I just speculated based on the design that I saw in the picture, May bad I have no Data backing my statement. My speculation is only based on what I previously saw in other data and pictures.. and also based on what I have studies in school.
