if they bring it here at all........it won't be half assed. their first attempt a "sport-compact" has been anything but a success with the SE-R Vspec. everybody else is getting a slice of the "25 yrs old and 25 grand" market segment, and it's not outlandish to assume nissan will make a genuine attempt at getting their piece of the pie. my guess will be yet another RWD coupe, with possibly a de-stroked turbocharged version of the QR25DE........so it'd be more like a 2.2-2.4.....making around 225-250hp, rumor has it the the Q would respond very well to FI. the key element in all this (if it happens), is what chassis they will use. after the "red years" of the 90's with multiple platforms, there's no way they'll create an all new chassis just for this car. so.........will it be a sentra chassis (most-likely), the Z (a shortened version of it), or the maxima (turning a 4 door chassis into a coupe doesn't seem like a good idea). chassis selecton determines everything from style to engine to suspension design.
there's so much more speculation i could go into.........but it's just that........SPECULATION
