Seriously guys...new possible Silvia!

VQuick · #1 10-09-2005, 07:22 PM

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...ssan-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.

Everything about that car except for the FR drivetrain is disgusting.

I think it looks like crap too... I definately see the silvia in it though.

I dont see much similarity...Except for the long Hood and Short tail...

Definatly needs some drastic changes for me to like it

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.

Totally agree with u on this one....i hate the look of all the newest cars....lets go back to the 90's style....some bad ass lookin cars came out of that time....what ever happened to those designers??
