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.

i personally think it look's rather good. im curious to see if they actually release it thought and if so, how different will it look from the concept.

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.

But now after looking at it a few times, it actually looks very nice. I think this IDx is sort of like acquired taste kind of thing.




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.

Rumor is the next Z (Z35) will be downsize and have an I4.

Here are some photos from Super Car Sunday at Woodland Hills, CA during the IDx in SoCal tour

Quirky but aggressive


Awesome approach to using jeans as a seat material

Drag can be beneficial and detrimental depending its configuration and track specification. Mine is just a personal opinion on my experience in the track.
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"

okay but youre not answering the question. how do you know how much drag this thing has? i didnt have to bring up f1. i could point out that the scion xb has a lower drag coefficient than the veyron. my point is that you cant just look at a car and make a statement like that with any accuracy.

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.
