That's disgusting. I hate Nissan's new look. Why do all of the cars today have to have that bubbly/round look? It's like since the new Beetle, all the new cars are round... what's that for? interior room? visibility? safety? bleech!!!

The S15 was the most beautiful mass-production car ever made IMHO.

i like the picture of the sylvia. much better looking than an evo. The question is how does it drive? feel? handle? accelerate? Those are the real questions about cars.

Nuts to the S16 if it looks remotely like the concept. Damn the S15 is the shiat.

Japan gov't is curbing turbo emission, and Mitsu is cranking out GDI for their market and other pacific rim countries. It's one of the reason why the S15 lived such a short lifespan due to their gov't emission standards and possibility trumping their new performance darling in the 350z. It's like a Z24 thrumping a C5 vette stock . . . GM execs won't stand there and allow that on the showroom. W/ 2 strikes, the S15 was dead after few years.

Future Supra . . . all those rumors of a V8 looks to be dead. They're gunning after their old nemesis in the 350Z, not after the big boys w/ V8's like the Vette as I had hoped.

Oops . . . I have gaffed/erred on the Q45 reference for the Supra. DOH!!!!

I can see nissan targetting the S16 for girls. As for the S13 & 14, when I was in HS, I don't remember too many girls or none ever getting a 240sx. They mostly drove low end civics, accords, or other similar cars. If they were daddy's girl, they would have gotten any F-body pony car. Now for the remaining S14 and S14.5 still roaming around town, I see all guys.

wtf... that's sad. They lost the whole sleek bullet lines. Looks like it's pregnant and gained weight and decided to look like Matrix or some other crappy *** hybrid cars.
