metalmonkey47 Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 That car is way to big. America needs to loose some fucking weight, so we can get our cool cars back. They're just getting bigger and bigger. Datsun > ANY Nissan Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 They didn't fit in the '70s either. We need to reduce our expectations and neediness. Air, heated mirrors, heated seats, electric windows, electric adjust seats, navigation systems, electric mirrors, remote electric trunk release, electric door locks...... Quote Link to comment
FoxyRoadster Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 They need to reintroduce a cheap, high reving, lightweight roadster. 2 Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 ^^^^ miata? lol Quote Link to comment
FoxyRoadster Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 ^^^^ miata? lol Well Honda and Nissan both made lightweight roadsters in the 60's, the current 370z roadster is a joke imo its way overweight and overpriced. Quote Link to comment
Burabuda Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 looks like the coupe version of the new altima which looks good with 4 doors yeah but realize ghosn axed the altima coupe (the old model is still being made & sold) i hate most of these new cars simply because of the lack of nvh Quote Link to comment
nismosilvia Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 The title realled me in. Hilarious comments before viewing the car and seeing the concept? Ha wow not a good thing going on there. Quote Link to comment
nismosilvia Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Did anyone else notice the car resembles an older persons face? 1 Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 well it kinda looks like the new miata no? Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Hey, at least the miata tries to stay nimble... Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 i like the wheels and roof and quarter panel lines but everything from the windsheld forward is just so fucking ugly Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 As previously mentioned, it just looks like an Altima. Zero percent impressed with the rendering. It looks nothing like the 240zx at all... At least the 350z looked similar enough to the previous Z cars to say it was part of the same lineage. I think that if youre going to make some for of sport car in this size of platform, you need at least a 2.0L with the performance trim level rocking a forced induction package. With the shape of the old 240sx Id like to see something similar to the 1st gen Cadillac CTS. It was a bit boxy, yet stylish. I also think that Nissan has to get away from those ugly ass triangle headlights; they are ruining front-ends with those. Not every car they make needs to have those. Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Datsun > ANY Nissan A Datsun is a Nissan. Oxymoron? Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 i like the wheels and roof and quarter panel lines but everything from the windsheld forward is just so fucking ugly But you can go into Nissan dealer and by multiple different front ends for a 240sx so maybe they already have that in mind..

FoxyRoadster Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Hey, at least the miata tries to stay nimble... yeah mazda has been mostly just increasing size to make it compatible with newer safety laws. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 I liked the Miata when it came out. Small, two seater, cabriolet, standard, disc brakes all round, powerful.... the very definition of a sports car. What the hell was Nissan doing in '90? Oh yeah, practicing on the 300zx to make it heavier while more powerful to be able to drag it's ass around. And they succeeded within only 12 years to make exactly that in the 350Z. A bloated with options, supercar that if they could have made more powerful, would have made it heavier. Oh yeah, had to leave room for the new and improved 370z. I see nothing in the 350Z that looks anything like it's roots. In fact it looks to me like a fat June Bug. The Corvette used to be trim and a svelte fighting weight too back in the '60s but it and the 350Z look completely at home with an old man driving them. Wtf? Nissan, there probably is a market, admittedly, perhaps too small to be lucrative, but a market for those of us who want to drive a car. I don't mean cars for every level of incompetent no-mind possible driver out there just so you can sell a car and make money. Christ, there's people in cars that shouldn't be and it's because you car makers make it too easy for them! Make a sports car. Small and light. Forget all the comfort options that add weight. (in high school my friend had an MG with the first year roll up windows that replaced the plastic sliding ones) Optional automatic (if you must) 5 or 6 speed standard, RWD (an absolute must) two seater (don't do what Ford did with the Thunderbird, no 2+2!!!) 2 liter motor, convertible is fine, all disc brake, low and sleek. Keep it simple and easy to maintain and work on. (yes I know how you like to seal up the engine and transmission on new cars so owners can't check fluid levels. But this is because they are morons and will fuck it up if they do. A real owner doesn't mind and the car is an extension of his own body) Quote Link to comment

They daewooed it...^^^ i agree mike the moment i saw miatas i new the rear wheel drive .... no weight.....two seater design would be a cult one day....i had no idea metro sexulals, but there's also a racing heritage with this car and the set up of it ... you cant argue with how it preforms but the winks from dudes with waxed eyebrows is too much for me...

Tristin Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Yeah, Ive always considered Miatas to be a girls car, but do give props to Mazda for sticking with the same true nature of the car. Ill admit there are a few Miatas Ive seen floating around that have impressed me. Quote Link to comment

Perhaps it's too rounded and girly looking. Needs some lines, something. "I cannot adequately define a 'girly car', but I know one when I see it."......
