I gotta back ca18guy up here. He is completely correct what Nissan is doing now is something they should have been doing 5 years ago. Carlos Ghozsn has brought the company back.
a few rumors dispelled here by the way.
SR20DET's were not brought here in the 240sx for two reasons one was they did not want a 200hp car challenging the 300zx and two it was a turbo engine and America in general has never been turbo friendly.
now this was the same management team that took the company to the brink of bankruptcy.
so do not blame past mistakes on the current management team.
Oh yeah for all you punks crying about the U.S. not getting the Japanese cars we actually are starting to get the Japanese cars here. Ever stop to think why the Infinity line was created? To bring top end Nissans in.
Guess what kids the G35 is the Skyline! go read some Japanese magazines you will see the adds.
Guess what we are getting the GTR . The president of Nissan Carlos Ghoszn already stated his commitment to this, to the automotive press at Several different International car shows.
now as far as a car in the sub 20 thousand dollar car range being a rear wheel drive deal. It remains to be seen but seeing as the 350z comes in at 27K and the Sentra SER is 17K its going to be a tough call.
Demographics and production costs change. To produce a S chassis car today and make it profitable it would have to cost 20k plus not a lot of room to play in the current car range Nissan has today.
Ya all you Evo fans can scream about how great it is. Its a great car. Guess what though its a Mitusbushi. That spells unreliable.
4 car companies in Japan make reliable cars Toyota, Honda, Nissan and Suburu.
hmmm me thinks we are going to see WRX's for a while to come .
Ya all you Mitsu fans can keep spending money on fixing your cars when the break down. I am sticking with Japanese cars that are reliable from the the get go.
Evos are cool but they break even the tuners in Japan admit that.
