Another Cheap FR Sports Car? Nissan joins the fray

I still dont think the states will get a turbo charged engine for less than $20k. Its just not feasible since itll drive up the cost of the car. Emissions standards whats killing cars. For them to make a turbo car pass emissions will push the cost of the car. Thats why I think they will cut corners in trying to keep the price down. If they can make a NA rwd car with atleast 200hp/200lbs torque, for about $20k, on a chassis that weights ~2700lbs, it still wouldnt be a bad deal.

I agree. I'd settle for that.

I don't either. The fact we have nothing like that one our shores at the moment (Nissan doesn't have anything in Japan right now either. Do they?) makes it even less likely. I'd be willing to bet it's gonna be the SER engine.
