Because you're not comparing it to the correct classic:

yah the classic looks fantastic.

I hope they put the round headlights from the Freeflow in the Nismo.

looks good. i wonder if it would look better in all black or white (or silver, etc.). the concept seems too busy imo

I think the quirky design works well. Look at how well the Juke is doing. That is doing much better than I ever would have imagined. Turns out some people really like different.

Based on the accompanying marketing vid -- if they can pull off the smartphone-esque customization options, it will be full of win to the next generation of car buyers.

On the other hand, Scion sort of tried this gimmick, and in the end, you are still stuck with picking from what's on the lot...

If they can make this work and keep the costs down, good for them.

On the other hand, they will still be limited in terms of what they can offer power and handling wise because of safety/emissions issues, so I wonder just how much "i" the idx will really provide...

it's going to be tricky to sell this fad to a generation that most dont have much money or interest in cars.

i think for that generation, something that is actually useful (like a hatchback) might make more sense?

Nissan Confirms The Rear-Drive IDx Concept Will Go To Production

Quote:

Nissan executive vice president Andy Palmer told media there was no confirmation of which of the two concept models would hit production.

"Don't say that we won't do both, but we will definitely do one of them," he said.

He went on to hint that the IDx might have a manual transmission, or at the very least, paddle shifters.

They're also green-lighting the Blade-glider.

Quote:

Nissan will have not two, not three, but four sports cars in its line-up within five years, says company vice president Andy Palmer.

Palmer confirmed that the next-generation GT-R and 370Z replacement will be joined - providing the economic climate remains favourable - by production versions of the IDX and BladeGlider concepts.

"'Phenomenal' would be the word," said Palmer when asked about the response to the two design studies. "The reaction is strong enough that we put both cars into our five-year plans. That doesn't necessarily mean it'll take five years to get there..."

How will the four fit together? "IDX represents one end of the spectrum, Bladeglider another end of the spectrum," says Palmer. "And then in the middle you've got your traditional lower end sports car [the 370Z replacement], and the GTR as your higher-end sports car."

So what do we know about the Nissan quartet? Palmer revealed fresh details on all four. Here, from most expensive to cheapest, is what we know...

This car makes our Z's sound like shyt. This 4 banger sounds brolic and sounds like it will eat a BRZ for breakfast. All it needs is a smoother slightly less chunky looking front grille. Everything else on the exterior
don't change. Check it out

Looks like we might not get IDX after all. Hopefully this means they are focused on the Z.

kenchan · 07-15-2014, 11:28 AM

maybe it might turn into a Z35?
