Sure, if they make a Nissan CR-Z, it'll likely be awful. That car was meh on paper and even worse in practice.
Hybrid Silvia with a proper turbo 4, IMA, 7MT, rear drive, and mechanical LSD would be a legit offering. They can't straight up offer an S15 redux as the world has moved on since then.

actually no, im completely fine with a sports car thats houses an electric drive, i firmly believe that electric motors are superior than gas engines, but of course I believe that petrol is still superior than batteries.
Based on their goals, its hard for me to think this is going to be a sports car. Nissan's idea of current sports cars are 370z and GT-R, and one must look the part. and if they say that the car is a hybrid aimed at youth but not a competitor to other small sports cars, like the frs...then what is it?
If it is a Silvia, id be a bit relieved because i know Nissan wouldn't screw up the legacy and come out with something proper. but id be hard press not to be a competitor to the FRS-BRZ-MIATA-RX8.
Id face palm if its a modern version of the NX2000
UNLESSS!!! ...its a hot-hatch Modern Pulsar GTI-R Hybrid AWD turbo....then efff evuurrraythang else
