Yeah I saw it at Super Car Sunday they both look better in person, I thought it was hideous before I saw it in person, now I just think it is optically abrasive...

I could totally live with the "freeflow" concept version as a basis for a fun street car, the Nismo is a little toooooooo extreme in it's boy racer ways to be driven by anyone other than an attention hungry 12 year old.

I really cant say if I like it or not. I'll check it out when it hits the showroom though. I don't see it doing well though unless its performance per $ is high. The 370z was just too pricey so I hope this gets into the affordable market like the twins are.

What a joke. They're about to be passed up by Kia.

found this quote interesting:


" What is the IDx? Rumor holds that it’s built off the Nissan Silvia platform. "

I think they are kinda cool looking.

Would love a more subtle looking nismo version with rwd, MT, reasonably light, and 1.6-2.0L turbo 4cyl engine.

I have a feeling the jeans seats are not going to make it in the production model.

Really cool to see another RWD car coming to market...

The bad news is that it's hideously ugly and will likely be overweight like every other Nissan nowadays.

The only thing I like about this is that the side mirrors are on the fender.

I like this car, but only the Nismo version, the regular car is too odd looking.

I'd consider it if it had a stick and some decent power. A little more upright coupe is not bad, the FR-S is just a bit too impractical.

If this is Nissan's retro 510, the 240 should be interesting.
