if a new S-chasis, or Z/S or whatnot, is released, i'm assuming that this will be their "Sport-Compact" Car. does that mean that they'll end production of the Sentra? i don't think they'd want to have 2 cars from the same company, in the same category and, hopefully, price range fighting for "Sport Compact" supremacy.

also, if a new S-chasis is released and becomes a huge success, would this mean the return of cheap & affordable RWD compact cars?

1) i HIGHLY doubt there will be a new S-chassis. as i have already stated, the new "Silvia" will be based on another chassis, most likely the Z or the Sentra
2) the sentra is not a sport compact. it's a compact economy commuter car which was inneffectively modified to fit the "sport-compact" profile. if any change was made to the sentra line-up, the SE-R would be discontinued.
3) one is FWD, the other is RWD........that gives the two pretty good separation to start with. i know price is the same, but there is enough difference that they both could happily co-exist.
