I wonder if Nissan will do a Versa Nismo, or if they will keep that on the other side of the world. I see that there is a Versa SR in the Future Vehicles section.

Nissan is seemingly giving the Nismo name to every model. Whatever happened to turning the Nismo performance brand into the likes of AMG, F, and M??

They decided that they did not want to build a new motor for every car in their lineup?

Oh boy.... I don't understand the purpose. I see it in cars kids want to tune and have the option for more performance but those fiat looking nissans are a far cry from something you would tune and track.
I think they saw the scion brand grow with the frs and almost want to have a similar marketing segment without re branding....

I actually really like the styling of the new Nismo 370Z. I suppose some of the other not-as-special Nismos may make it not as special but I'd still consider it depending on what they do with the Z35.

I agree but if the brand gets cheesed out by the Nissan toaster oven then it may have a stigma when you begin to say a nismo.... z. You will want to say Z ASAP so people know you drive a nice car. It's like people with a supra they just say supra not toyota.... supra. That 2 sec people may think they drive a tercel or corolla. .. lol

I agree it sucks when a Car Maker starts giving the prestige tag to all their car models. Take for exemple BMW (M), Mercedez (AMG) and now Nissan (Nismo), etc. It takes away the "bragging rights" to say "I own a Nismo" since it gets common. But, I personally never buy a car for that reason. Just take the 2015 370Z Nismo, I really like what they've done to it and I will buy it because I like the way it looks. IMHO of course
