It's probably FWD. The Chinese auto manufacturers do everything half ass. Why would this be any different. lol.

Pfft. I bet you it has the impact resistance of a styrofoam cup.

Additionally a company still has to remain attractive and competitive in the marketplace, even when times are tough or its going to dig itself into a bigger whole. Bringing the SX will allow them to do this. They cant just throw their hands up in the air and call it quits. They have to continue to bring new products to the marketplace that are in the demand. Affordable, small, fuel efficient vehicles is where its at. Quote:

I say look at the competition, the genesis is already out. When is the toyo/suby car due to hit? Look at those two factors and try to figure out a rough time line.

The SubaYota has been put on hold until 2012 now. And that was officially announced. Who knows when Nissan will decide to go through with the car now. I really don't think this recession will last more then another year. After that manufacturers should be rushing to get new vehicles out. So maybe 2012 model year is realistic.

1. The genesis does great in sales. People are eating it up left and right. Knowing the Tobaru comes out in 2012, build up anticipation in 2009 and release 2010. 2. Exact opposite. Genesis sits on lots. People hate the fuck out of it. Hold car off until competiton starts building up hype for their (probably late 2010). Do the same beat the competition to market. 2011 Which means it will be released in 2011. 3. Same as above but wait on the Tobaru, which means 2012

^-- I agree. I have yet to see a Genesis Coupe on the road over here...so I don't know if it's selling great. With that said, I don't see Nissan or Toyota rushing to release a competitor in a segment that is not doing so well as a whole.

soooooooooooooo....upon digging thru the trademark database tonight...i ran across a few model names for nissans and infinitis that caught my attention...here they are in no particular order...
I35, EX25, I25, G30D, Essence, M25, I40, I20 all of these trademarks are currently alive and active...and were registered within the last year or two...makes me kinda wonder about the I20, I25, M25 and EX25 badges hmmmmmmmmmm funny thing is...the 200sx and 240sx trademarks are still live and active...and so is G20 |

EX 25 would peobably be a small suv, since that's what the EX is. THE I35 would be a sedan, based on the maxima, since the I30/I35 were both maxima based sedans. Not that they can't change things, I just don't forsee them doing so. I sould see G20, G25, or M20/M25 happening with an s-chassis based car. Especially since the plan is a shortened FM platform, which is what the G37 is.

I believe Toyota owns the rights to the GTS nameplate.
