r0p0doe Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Some of you may find it pointless but I want someone to chime in of they know mre than me at the moment. About 30min ago speed hunters posted a Nissan reveal photo on their instagram claiming this IDx to be the new 510, I checked their site but found nothing. Maybe someone else can be more insightful and maybe some opinions on the car if they've seen it. I'd post the photo but I'm on mobile, is this what we've all been waiting for......? 2 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 You're being played. No one today knows what 510 even means or what a Datsun is. Smoke and mirrors. Hype. Just like reviving the Datsun logo. You have a real 510 pray it's never taken seriously. If you owned a '69 Yenko copo 427 rs Camaro how would you feel if some douchebag pulled up beside you in a 'new Camaro' and said "Hey, I got one too." 8 Quote Link to comment

Hooligan Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Oh that is horribly ugly 2 Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 That looks more like a 73-74 celica to me not that there trying to bring the 510 back I hope but it's not all that bad looking. 6 Quote Link to comment
r0p0doe Posted November 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 You mean this picture? that's the one trisin, I was going to tag you on IG actually lol!!! 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 I'm seriously not seeing the resemblance. Or is it even supposed to look like a 510? Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 It's huge Quote Link to comment
dime'n daily Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 please don't :( Quote Link to comment
r0p0doe Posted November 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Looks nice from the side kind of, but I'm not digging the front. If they do produce whatever this thing will be I hope its base performance is better than the Toyota/scion/Subaru sports car... 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Call it anything non Datsun and I'm on board. By on board I do not mean I like or will consider buying one. 2 Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Jeezus, it has as much frontal area as a Chevy pickup, wtf were they thinking? Please tell me some designer from Nissan sees this and recognizes it as the monstrosity that it is. Think BMW 318 in the looks department if you really want to make the next 510. It looks like an aborted Altima. Blech. :( 1 Quote Link to comment
Jackson311 Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 here's the video... Quote Link to comment
danfiveten Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Id buy a new one, even looking like that. Its decent. Quote Link to comment
Jimmyray73 Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Eh, I think it looks sorta like a mid 70's 510 knocked up a late generation Lancer after a 4 day drunken bender. It isn't the ugliest car I've seen (or driven) but it sure ain't the prettiest either. If the price is right I'll consider it, especially if it has a fun motor and gearbox combo.

Jackson311 Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 ya no lie..kinda had mixed opinions as I watched live reveal. now see more of the nismo, sign me up. Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 The pictures make it look pretty stupid, but after the video I would buy one. There are for sure some of the hyper-futuristic features and design cues I dont like, but overall decent if I wanted a new car. Cant wait to see what the powertrain specs are. 4 Quote Link to comment

HRH Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Fuck that noise. It needs about 4 inches chopped out of the middle, then the top and bottom halves mated again. Why the fuck do they have to make it so squatty tall? Fucking frogs!! Quit fucking up Nissan's design!! Where's Teruo Uchino when you need him? Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 All the French guy kept saying was they were building a car for people that didn't care about cars. And that they were listening to gamers because ,,,,,,,,,, well i'm not real sure why. 2 Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Lol. listening to gamers? like they will have any money to buy a fucking car while living in moms basement playing WoW.... 1 Quote Link to comment
tr8er Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 I like the BRE stripes in the vid. Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 You can put BRE stripes on a box van, it still isn't going to make it look better. 3 Quote Link to comment
jser12 Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 kinda reminds me more a 610 in the rear... wish it had the circle tails like the GT-Rs, I think that would help Quote Link to comment
