Right now the KIA looks much more appealing.

cured13 · 01-14-2014, 08:19 PM

That Toyota looks great, the only think that is still not 100% right is that long nose.
Kia is definitely going in the right direction, even in this form a simple aftermarket overfenders will make this car look very good. Remember that widebody carbon fiber Audi?

Nissan, has made a giant step in the right direction to redeeming itself. They've got enough lead time to formulate a strategy for the next-gen FRS and the possible GT4 Stinger at this point.

Now let's see how this turns out. I'm excited.

*exitspeed* · 01-15-2014, 10:31 AM

FUCK yes! So pumped. I'm going to try and get some more info out of them on Saturday.

sweat those nissan execs like a burger under a heatlamp!!!

*exitspeed* · 01-15-2014, 10:46 AM

Also there's a quote that said they are considering a manual transmission and at the very least paddle shifters.

drift freaq · 01-15-2014, 11:02 AM

an IDX and a smaller Z and Nissan will totally have things on the right track.

***Future240*** · 01-15-2014, 12:25 PM

A manual with a turbo 4 would have my money. I might even break my rule and buy a first gen.

*kingkilburn* · 01-15-2014, 12:39 PM

Without a proper trans that car will be a total dud. It wont matter how it looks or what engine it has.

i couldnt agree more!

240sxfan6882 · 01-15-2014, 01:42 PM

I was late with this lol.

Anyways, wow! Exciting! For once in a long time it's good to see Nissan trying something new.
I hope they make the Nismo version of that thing... looks like fun!

Nissan just confirmed one (maybe both), of the IDx concept cars WILL BE produced.

How much do you want to start with? But I'm next after you lol.

I haven't seen this discussed but this looks interesting too:
2015 Chevrolet Code ? Future Cars ? Car and Driver

If this releases before the IDX and with more potential then I'm hooked, just freaked cause I have only owned Nissan.

***dorkidori_s13*** · 01-15-2014, 02:16 PM

im interested in the 2015 Mustang 4Cyl Turbo. if pricing on that is where i think its gonna sit, nissan and toyota are gonna have some BIG competition!

signals13 · 01-15-2014, 02:31 PM

^^ not bad but what will it weight in at?

I admit the 15' mustang sounds really nice on paper, we have to wait & see how the suspension will perform in comparison to toyota & hyundai.
The 13' & 14' mustangs handled A LOT better than any of the previous years, but still are not up to par with Japanese or European spec suspension.
Also curious to see how the interior is, because american cars have really stepped up their interiors. No more of that cheap 02' chevy malibu crap or 00' ford escort zx2 stuff, thank goodness!

im guessing low 3000s. but the 4cyl turbo model is supposed to come in at 305hp. thats a low 14/high 13 second car (same weight to power ratio as the current Genesis coupe, the late model 350z/G35 coupe and G37). slap a few go fast bits on the the car and im sure 12 seconds in a straight line will be EASILY had!

my guess with the suspension is that its going to really push the car ahead! its damn near the same suspension as the s-chassis

***dorkidori_s13*** · 01-15-2014, 02:54 PM

wow, look at all the NO votes. the fail is strong with those folks...

ive shared the link out on my DorkiDori FB page and encouraged people to share the post. Hopefully it will help bring some POSITIVE votes in!

unwtdhero · 01-15-2014, 02:59 PM

That new chevy "code" looks pretty good, not too sure about the drivetrain choice. I for one would assume the 2.0t from the ats would be available. If so, id get this over the kia. And maybe over the idx. But who knows. I just cant stand how tall the idx is....i know the 510 was big, but are we moving forward or backwards?

Dutchmalmiss · 01-15-2014, 02:59 PM

Damn, it took 171 pages of this thread until we saw some sort of positive news from Nissan haha.

Can't wait to see what Vaughn Gittin Jr. will do with one, maybe he will do a 4 cylinder turbo (not likely tho I'm sure V8).

I see it the other way around.

I see 66.3% of reading will unequivocally not buy it.

I see a 33.7% readership that is interested in buying it, but most will have excuse why they won't when it comes out.
To expensive, not like the concept, not enough power, used XXX is only $$, just got kids, maybe in 5 years when it's used... so forth.

Look at how old that article is... We haven't heard a peep out of Chevy about this car in a year. I doubt it's getting made. I bet we'd see a smaller, turbo Camaro to compete with the turbo 'Stang before project 130r gets off the ground.

I'm hearing the turbo Stang should weigh in at just over 3200lbs... About 400lbs lighter than the outgoing 5.0 GT.

good lord man, youre always so goddamn negative about things. seriously, i really have never read anything that has been uplifting, positive or enlightening that has come from you.

instead of looking at every possible downside, why not take a look at the flip side of the coin and be hopeful that something GOOD may come from this car.

*exitspeed* · 01-15-2014, 04:38 PM

No car on the planet would get a 100% or close "I'd buy it if I could" or "I'm buying for sure". Nothing. Fuck if that poll asked about the Veyron I'd vote Hell No.

Nissan doesn't need or want everyone to like the car. The quote from them says they plan on keeping it low volume.
