You have heard BS rumors.

You have it backwards. They're cutting down on SUVs and Trucks.

my friend has a 1-series, we all asked how come he didn't get the 335 instead. he said, yeah, i regret it." so fucking small inside, but it's still a little rocket.

Your girl has expensive taste.

[Gnnr]

Pffft. The 1 series. Not much cheaper, or lighter than a 3 series.

More and more auto shows passing us and still no more info. If it was not for dorkidori I would have given up that this is still a possible production car, his tid bits of info every so often keep me expecting.

[dorkidori_s13]

well unfortunatly the car industry (like many others) is in a HUGE slump right now worldwide...i honestly have no idea now when the car is going to be announced...im happy i get information directly from nissan execs and all...but as of late...im starting to doubt what theyre telling me

yah...im wondering the same thing myself


but hey...theres always the G35...believe it or not...it actually DOES feel like an S chassis when you sit in it and drive it around...like no head clearance room...back seats...actual rear quarter panel windows u can see out of (unlike the 350z)

I see women driving Sti's and Evo's all the time where i live. in my neighborhood there is a 20 something asian chick with a 07 grey sti and next to my work i always see a chick driving an older Evo.

[stiizy]

I know a hot ass chick with a sick STi and a few dope asian chicks with EVo's

i've seen a few girls driving evos and stis here in nyc. when i used to hit up the subby meets there where at least 3 girls there (1 2.5rs, 1 wrx, 1 sti) that were active members.

[lflkajfj12123]

the only similarity i see is how the fenders hunch over

[Akiros]

135i runs high 12's with a chip. Yeah that's boring

[GabeS14]

and the roof line towards the rear slopes down but yea mostly the front fenders and the grill (think the after market grill people get that looks like an outline of the grill and gives it the more sporty look(n the g35) reminds me of that shape just slimmer!

[Slow SR20]

I am really starting to lean towards the Mustang EcoBoost unless we hear something this year about the next 240sx. EcoBoost mustang should be hitting the streets in the next 12-18 months and ~350hp, RWD, twin turbo just sounds AMAZING in the mid to upper 20K price range for base. (what some mustang fans have told me to expect for price.)

[lflkajfj12123]

i'm guessing thats what the concept drawing was based off

hello sunshine

new g37s anyone?

[Future240]

I've never noticed it till now.

[Jimmy Up]

I was thinking it was more of an S15 roof line...

but it really DOES look like a sleek, super sick fitment version of the g37.

How do you guys like my Urge Rendering? I took away the way to concepty holes in the door.

My next step is to take this and turn it into what I think the SX will look like.

Reminds me of a NX2000, lol.

I don't particularly like it but the Nissan Forum, I love!

Yea I didn't design the car. It's a Nissan Urge Concept from a few years ago. In case you haven't been following this is the car Nissan is saying the SX will be based off of. Now that I have a solid rendering to go off of I'll be turning this into my idea of the next SX.

Oh and glad you like the blog. Shit is crazy busy for me right now so I haven't been writing as many articles as I would like to but hopefully I'll be getting more stuff up.

[kingkilburn]

I like the render. I see the urge as more of the skeleton of the new SX. I am expecting those body lines with more of a Z style fender and quarter panel design, rather than just fender flairs. I'm hoping for a center grill too.
