I was reading the brand new Sport Compact and it had something in there about a new Nissan Hatch, a GTi like car... looked pretty sweet and there was talk about 225hp, best looking hatch I have ever seen I wish I had pics. Does anyone know anything about it? release? pricing? anything? it is indeed over in europe now and that was mentioned, I am just wondering what kind of new sport compacts, forced induction... etc etc, not EVO caliber but something with a lot of bang for the buck, similar stock power to an SRT? under $26,000? I wonder what the future has in store but this Nissan if it's the real deal would definately pull me in its direction.

 

Is it going to be like the GTi-R or are they giving it "geto" *** FWD like everything else. The SRT will probably be better than it. The Cobalt SS is close to the SRT-4 and has "better handling." I wouldn't tell you anything yet as the Cobalt SS is pretty damn new. The Ion Redline is the exact same thing except with plastic body panels, slightly taller gearing, and cheap *** interior with center console mounted speedometer.

 

This is probably the 240SX concept everyone was talking about a while back. Looks like a mutant 350Z hatch.

 

Id like to see some pics

 

I think this is what you're talking about:

i like it!

 

its differnt i know that

 

Cool!

 

But it come with stardard Recaro seat

 

I like it!

 

I wonder what the pricing will be like, I don't like the idea of 20's on a supposed GTi like performance car, 18's at most. I would expect it to be low 20k's. I like the idea of standard recaros. If only there was something to compete bang for buck wise with an SRT-4... or a replacement to it.

 

FYI: I dont believe its a GTi-R replacement type car. When it was first shown @ the autoshow it was said that it will most likely replace the current Sentra...

 

What the ****? Is that a Focus? Heh.

 

damn, that thing looks HOT! I've always liked hatches too.
