Good to hear. The 1 series is too heavy and expensive. With Nissan dropping the weight of the 3X0Z series, I imagine this 240 replacement will be light-ish too. I'm really curious what the styling will be...personally, I feel like NIssan currently has some good styling elements, but each car just doesn't come together. The Altima coupe has a good looking rear, but the rest is meh...the new Maxima looked super aggressive at a glance when I saw one in person, but then as I looked closer it just looked odd. At any rate, an affordable RWD coupe will be cool. I hope it's pretty stiff and has a decent fundamental suspension design, and makes extra heavy stuff options so every car isn't stuck with a sunroof and heavy stereo.

So Nissan's back in for Chi auto show? Damnit, I might have to actually go now. Last year I went and it was disgustingly cold, probably in the single digits *F. My tire was frozen in a puddle of ice and i had to dump the clutch to get it out, and my clutch pedal was coming up really slowly, like there was something frozen in the MC.
