The Nissan Foria concept makes its official debut at the Tokyo Motor Show, along with the new GT-R concept.
http://www.carbodydesign.com/concept-cars/2005/10-07-nissan-foria/nissan-foria.php
Notice how it is not only FR, but shares some styling cues with the original Silvia, especially the rear end. It even has Active Four Wheel Steer for those who are fans of HICAS. It's also described as a compact, which means it should be smaller than the Z and would avoid cannibalization of Z sales.
Clean up the design a little, add a good motor, and this car could be a hit!
What do y'all think?

It's... definately different.
I don't like the color... too... pastel.

Well, a lot of concepts end up being a little off the wall just to grab attention.
For production, I'd expect the half doors to go, maybe a different grille, and hopefully some better colors.

no no and no
no resemblence to the current SPORTY silvia line. Thing is nothing but a grocery getting ugly ass turd. not even arrow dynamic. just bulky. Not a new silvia, or else it would be called silvia.

i think its gonna be ugly no matter what. the industry as a whole has been making cars look more complicated and futuristic than they really are. i'm not a fan of the extra back doors and the interior looks kinda like what i ate about 8 hours ago...

That looks like complete ass. I agree with D-BO I hate how the companies are doing this whole retro style, yet trying to tweak them to look modern. Just give me sleek and clean, no sharp ass lines. For instance the vette c6 looks a shit load worse than the c5.

But I agree... it's not pleasing to the eye.

i desperately want Nissan to release a new US market rear drive sedan....
a new silvia would be great, but i hope it doesn't look like that
i do see the simmilarities with the 70's silvia, but i really don't like it

comes in automatic, with paddle shifters. What is up with the world and automatics, whats wrong with manual, true manual. None of that tiptronic, sequential bullshit.
That car is completely fugly, the only thing I like about it is FR and "the New" HICAS.

Don't the 4cyl Xterras have the KA24DE, I know they have a 2.4, but what engine do they use?

Exactly the point slideways was making. There aren't any 4-banger XTerras anymore. Like the new Pathfinder, all new XTerras use the 270hp VQ40DE.
The Frontier is available with a 4cyl, but it is the 175hp QR25DE.
