510, Fairlady Roadster, 240Z...

New versions would be great. Hell, they could all be powered by the little turbo Juke engine. Take a Scion approach to marketing, but actually deliver with cars that are cool. I'm kinda giddy just thinking about it.

Makes too much sense, so probably won't happen.

That is beautiful! :thumb up: If I didn't have the need for a reliable DD, I would totally be all over something like that. But don't have the time or the space or even ability to do a project car. If I did the 240Z and a Porsche 944 would totally be on my list.

240Z, just makes my heart go

Nissan is going to use this to hock price basement cars in developing regions. Don't get your hopes up and fuck them for doing this.

That being said, I invite them to prove me wrong and bring to market a modern 510 with the 1.8turbo from the juke. please.















Pretty please.

Miss driving my Datsun:



Right now I'm really torn between getting a BRZ and restoring my Z. I drove the 370Z, it was way too big, heavy and unrefined. Hardly anything like the original, but then again, no generation of Z has been like the original. They've continually gotten bigger and heavier each time. The 240SX/Silvia was more of a spiritual successor than the 300ZX/350Z/370Z. The 240Z is just so much money to fix up right, though... *sigh*
