I kinda like this!

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

draco067 03-21-2005 12:34 PM

looks like a Micra on steroids

The love child of a Murano and a Mazda3 Sport GT

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.

Xyntax 03-21-2005 01:15 PM

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

QBallz 03-21-2005 01:28 PM

Looks like an angry Geo Metro... sadly I kinda like it...

BlueEyes 03-21-2005 01:32 PM

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.

Reactionary 03-21-2005 05:56 PM

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.

moRotorMotor 03-21-2005 06:20 PM

Sweet looking car you have man, very clean.

HERO 03-21-2005 06:45 PM

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.

mikeb 03-21-2005 07:41 PM
