A New version of the Nismo ?

A Nismo looks different, sounds different, and drives different.

Your choice of words is puzzling. Who cares if the NISMO drives "different"? All I care about is the cost/benefit analysis. And all numbers point towards the NISMO being a minute increase (and in some ways, decrease) in performance over a basic base/sport Z.

This is an old argument, and has been run into the ground. We all know the NISMO is basically on par w/ the base/sport. So what does it matter if it drives "different"?

Lowest I've heard is 36.5, I wonder how hard you have to try for that

They should offer a true racing Nismo model maybe call it an RS with focus on reducing weight and track performance. . Then gave the tech pack one that is like a touring with navigation and leather race seats.

Maybe it's just me but the Nismo should be the lightest model. Not heaviest.

Here's where the NISMO line is going and IMHO, a complete joke. It'll get worse before it gets better. Nissan has this goal of gaining 10% of the world market and are pretty much going to sell-out whatever they can just to sell cars at the cheapest CPU. Someone will get fired before the Nismo line is not a joke.

Looks like a Honda FIT

I wonder if all these other models will continue to have Nismo versions going forward, or if this is just a big "everyone gets a Nismo!" type event because it's Nismo's 30th anniversary.

They need to throw a turbo on all of the smaller Nismo models to compete with the Ford ST cars. If I were in the market for such a car, I would probably opt for Nissan over Ford.

I'd drive one of these as my DD if the price was right (I'm sure it won't be)

i rented the new sentra in toronto a couple of weeks back on a biz trip.
honestly it wasn't bad!

it drove like a much larger car, was stable on the expressway too... drove it through
sunny to raining frikken cats and dogs and taffyapples that day.

car did well.

only thing i didnt like was that it was one of the cheaper trims so limited accessories.
but it's a rental so cant ask for much. and cvt sucksarse.

Kool... Now if they can get a good crash test rating it might be worth the purchase?

Im no Nismo hater, actually I do like them. However, the authenticity label looks like it has been removed by Nissan themselves, they are putting the Nismo badge and authenticity as we can see on all their rides now. Shame really..

I guess Nissan didn't learn from Chevy when they said they were going to stop making everything into an "SS".
