Are they kidding?

I guess not. So Nissan has decided that they are going to take on Scion with this:
Are you kidding? More like they are trying to take on the Chevy Aveo.

Here is the article: Nissan will introduce a new sub-compact car to the US market to address the sales success of Scion. The new Versa will be sold in both 5-door and sedan forms and will slot below the all-new Sentra due next year. Versa will be powered by a 1.8L 4-cylinder engine rated at 120+ hp and 125+ lb-ft of torque. A continuously variable transmission (CVT) will be available as an option. Nissan is aiming for an MSRP starting at $12,000 when the Versa goes on sale next year.

Excuse me while I wipe the vomit off my lap. Good econo box and all, but I'd even take a X-A over one.

I sure hope that's not what became of this:
Pretty cool for a front puller. And yeees I know, this came out 8 months ago....

That is worse than an xA

EDIT: Damn these AF smileys, not working....

i like my xb better lol as far as a stock ride. The power on the nissan is definantly better though. Thats exactly what scion should have done. I think i should have waited, i buy one of those in a heartbeat for a daily. Especially if its only 12k. THe one that is done up owns > scion. XA's blow.

The one on the bottom is the Sport concept that came out in April, Nissan hasn't said anything about building it yet. I'd buy one in a heartbeat if they produced it. The looks alone own any hatch that the US has seen yet.

that car is a copy of the renault megane with nissan's smallest engine in it.makes sense since renault owns nissan...




the sport concept is probably going to manifest itself in a hatchback version of the sentra in the next model change, probably around 2009 or so. thats my guess

thats it 350z, rx8, new gtr, is there gonna be a s16?

[slideways...]

99.8% no

[Scope240]

hey, well we still have a .2% chance to hope for, all is not lost.......

[assad_l]

i dnt get it, does that mean that theres a .2% chance of sporty jap cars going on forever? or is it a 98% chance?

RX-8 Phhaaaaaahaha!!!! Nice car, shitty looks. I'd expect more from Pontiac. They shouldn't have ceased the RX-7, kinda pathetic that they exhausted it's design. It woulda been sweet to have a next gen 7 next to the 8. But that's as likely as the S16.

[Mojo_stevo]

And why does that Renault look better? I mean still rental car material but...

I think aliens designed the GT-40 like 40 million years ago, and ford dug it up and put their badge on it.
