Default Nissan Sport Coupe Concept



I want one!!!!!!!!

With the current-generation Sentra, Nissan hasn’t exactly been stirring the emotions of American buyers. But based on the brand’s Detroit show concept car—the sporty Azeal hatchback—and this Sport Coupe Concept shown here in New York, it appears Nissan is readying a loud wake-up call for the compact segment. The Sport Concept is a dynamic hatchback with a stylish four-seat interior. According to vice president and general manager Mark McNabb, “The story behind the development of the Sport Concept … is that Nissan is thinking big about the small car segment. We’re focusing on how we can bring Nissan’s heritage of innovation, sportiness and driving pleasure to a category of vehicles that traditionally lack design excitement and strong visual appeal.” The Sport Coupe Concept’s body construction utilizes both metal and carbon-fiber components. Huge 20-inch, six-spoke aluminum wheels adequately fill the wheel wells, while headlights and rear combination lights with small lamps and multi-layered reflectors give the concept a premium look. Inside, the front bucket seats and independent rear seat cushions are covered in gray leather with suede inserts, and feature four-point seat belts. The instrument panel sports a distinctive center cluster that houses an integrated tachometer and speedometer. “The Nissan Sport Concept is as close to performance art for the street as you can get—modern, cool, ready to run,” said McNabb. “When it comes to the next wave of small car design, a SHIFT_ is about to be made. And Nissan is making it.”

It looks good from the side, but the front looks nasty.

Mine ends with "ugly"

I don't know why Honda did it, but there's no reason on God's green earth why Nissan should produce a Focus, too.
