that car looks like shit, would still buy an FR-S over it. It looks like a 4 door sedan body.

They should stick to altering the S15 body to a s16 style.

Step number one for them should be taking that design back to the drawing board. That up there looks like doodie.



This, on the other hand looks fantastic. They should do this.

This is just a smooched G37/Altima with 350z wheels.

I think they should realize that a 240 comeback is going to compete with the FR-S and that current 240 owners are 18-22 year olds and they should make it more retro.

And one I think retro all I want is: Flip up lights
I think if they could somehow make them work it might set a new wave of design. I love flip up lights

but honestly I can see the 240 just being a push to sell more Zs. The Z car is more of a symbol than the 240 ever could be.

I can see:
the 240 with a Turbo juke motor making 200-230

and the V will most likely keep a V6. I can't see them making their flagship sports car a 4cyl even if it was turbo/supercharged. Remember when the rumors of a 4cyl Turbo Vette came out?

Nissan has some of the ugliest car designs out there. Like seriously quirky and misshapen.

I can't imagine how anyone thought this thing screamed "class".


And this one is down right gawdy. Like the kind of thing black people do to Ford Explorers.

^Agreed

The 370 missed on so many level...especially that hideous interior


Now this was a classic design. Nothing fancy schmancy..nothing over bearing

Well we'll never see any sharp designs like that again because our fucking nanny overlord government needs to protect the pedestrians.

The concept is so stupid. I looks like the Juke rammed an unsuspecting FRS and they had a kid with fetal alcohol syndrome. So dissapointing that they are taking a classic car and ruining it's great style history with this crazy look all cars these days have to have. I hate it, I hope Nissan gets their act together and makes classy cars again.
