A fvcking all season tire. $25k for an $18k Sentra with fancy bumpers and all season tires. A car that's supposed to be so awesome in the handling department it doesn't even have fully independent suspension.

I got nothing left for this company. Watch the next Z be a total turd. This company doesn't have the balls to make the next Z compete at the pricepoint it is destined for. It would take greater guts to make a "final edition" 370Z and admit all they want to be is a volume car company. Ice that cake and push the GT-R up into the Infiniti brand where it truly belongs.

Ghosn knows how to make money and his ultimate vision accomplishes that, but I see brands like Chevy and Ford making FUN vehicles while still making profits. Nissan is not doing that. They had the opportunity to prove that with this Sentra - a car that can play in a market that is blowing back up with competition, and instead they put out this uninspired piece of ****.

Save the Z (I still love the car - I may even buy another one someday when life accomodates), there isn't a single Nissan out there that I would buy over a competitor's alternative. A CX-5 over a Rogue, an Elantra over a Sentra, a Fiesta over a Versa, an F-150 over a Titan, an Accord over a Maxima, and a Camry over an Altima all day. Each of those vehicles presents an element of engagement that is completely lost in the vehicles Nissan offers.

I'm done ranting now
