The front looks just like a Hakosuka! I like it.

The 510 is one of my dream cars.

If Nissan pulls this off well...I will be tempted.

One thing though...I just can't express how important the low center of gravity is for the Twins...the Boxer engine is amazing for that.

I like the proportions, similar to 1 Series Coupé but even better, I get the styling but would not want it. I prefer it to look more modern and more sleek. It would look perfect if it was lower (i.e 1.200 mm).

I like it a lot actually. I love the retro design but I'm not sure how others around my age will feel about it. Maybe too retro for some?

Honestly I won't give up my car even if the next gen has a turbo or it's competitor has a turbo. I do appreciate what Nissan is doing and it's just going to make things that much better kind of like the evo vs STi.

I honestly think this is HOT! Nissan won't mess this up.

Did anyone feel like in that video, they said a whole bunch of nothing? I couldn't really get a sense of what the purpose or intent was behind this car, other than they were trying to reach out to the new generation who aren't interested in cars. And to me, that seems like a car I wouldn't be interested in.

Like the retro lines though. Just wish the beltline was a bit lower like the original.

Either you want a 38 year old chassis and you reckon nothing will be lighter?

or you will just be happy if they use that "S Chassis" moniker??

Uh, thanks for the history lesson....

When I said "something like" the S platform, this was in contrast to the FM platform used to make heavy luxury cars like the G, FX, etc. If Nissan was to say, update the S15 platform, and call it, say, the S16 platform it would almost certainly result in lighter vehicles. Being a car enthusiast forum I would think that much would be obvious, but hey, too much faith in humanity I guess...

Nissan already played this card back in 2005 with the Foria concept. Lets hope they actually built this one this time.

Give me a 510. I hate the idx. It's one if the worse designs ive seen lately. Hopefully it'll change before going into production.
