That actually looks half decent. Wonder what's under the hood.

Haha that's one of the better sport compacts I've ever seen. The interior looks funky but fun.

It's probably pack a 140 hp 4-cylinder.

It's way over done. Check out the wheels and the tailpipes.. then again it's preproduction.

Nice. Looks mean! What ever happened to their plan to bring back the 240SX?

If we have to say it looks like anything, I think this may have been inspiration...

What in the name of god are these? It doesn't look very comfortable! :confused:

I think that's a crotch-warming cushion to encourage impotence ;)

It looks like Vin Diesel got his hands and his credit card on a Toyota Matrix. Yuk.

I like it - it's a bit busy, sure, but I'm sure the production model will be toned down a bit. Hopefully it won't be toned down too much though, all the pointy bits and a lot of the contrasting parts are what make it interesting to me. They can definitely lose the crotch cushions though. What kind of a person would look at that and go "Hey, that looks comfy. Great idea!" anyway?

if they put the 350 engine in it...Mmmmm that'd be a pretty bad little ride.

I'm not wondering what's under the hood. I'm wondering what's in the interior. Can you just imagine a chintzy modified 350z interior? I swear if they put in that pathetic steering wheel that's used in about 7 Nissan models, I'm going to hurt somebody.

However, my primary concern is how it will look with a billet grille on.

I'm waiting for a new version of my car. It may be a tad dated, but I still love the clean sexy shapes of the early 90's Japanesse sports cars.

My previous car was a 92 fastback 240SX!! i REALLY loved that car. Its funny how it was over 10 years old and didnt rattle at all, and my 8 isnt even a year old and rattles like its about to fall apart... the 240 even felt more stable driving around town! I too love the early 90's Japanese auto lineup.

Racing harness for rear passengers? That is a little overboard.

All I can say is that with all the little gimmicks on that car it better be fast! Nissan has a way of not taking the USDM serious when it comes to performance though. :rolleyes:

Maybe there is a "vibrate" option for female drivers?

I think it looks like an edgy version of the focus.

I kind of like those wrap around head rests
