My thoughts on the new NISMOs..

About 2 years ago, I bought my 2012 Pearl White NISMO. When I was at the dealership last night for a Titan XD unveiling event, I noticed they had a new 2016 Solid Red NISMO. I have to admit - it looks really nice as its own design. I just think that they toned down the "original" 370 NISMO "track-ready" styling. I was also very disappointed to see that the new NISMOs no longer come through with a NISMO serial plate identifying what number they are for the particular year.

It's like Nissan decided to just turn it into another trim level and got rid of the exclusivity associated with the model. Kinda feels more like a Juke NISMO to me now.

The dealer was trying to convince me that I should upgrade, but I honestly never had that feeling like I have to have it. I definitely won't be trading mine in for one.

What are your thoughts?

Edit: No offense or hate meant to anyone that owns one of the new NISMOs, but they just aren't my cup of tea.
