Yea, hard to believe that was 1985! They came very close to taking this to production, and I actually had a "preorder predeposit" down on one when they cancelled it.

That's awful. Sadly, if you tell Carlos Ghosn about it he'll try to make you believe in the Leaf.

I think they'll need to move the electric charging location though...too many people don't want to be spotted giving 'Old Fashioneds' to their cars.

Juke engine with a little more displacement and RWD?

180SX returns?

SkullWorks · 06-14-2012, 06:51 PM

160sx FTW we can make more power today on 1.6 than we could with 1.8 25 years ago...

I know Nissan will come up with something.

Might not be as balanced as the 86 but im sure it will be just as fun to drive.

shadoquad · 06-16-2012, 01:10 PM

I'd be all for a new Silvia!

reni · 06-16-2012, 06:46 PM

Nissan isn't going to bring back the S platform if there's only one car using it, and a 240SX made out of Z parts would be heavy and bloated and pointless.

If enough profit opened up in the segment, they would. And i agree, Z platform is too heavy and expensive.

Stop putting truck engines in Silvia's yo! (for NA market)

I don't have a problem with FWD (I race one) but I have a problem with a car that looks like it should be RWD but isn't.
