The 2015 Nismo radically deviates from the original Nismos. If you look at the iconic sport cars like Porsche, Ferrari & Lamborghini they stay true to their roots in design. The 15 Nismo does not. The front end is very busy, the small fender rolls don't work with the car, the wheels are ugly & the two tone paint job is juvenile. The only plus is the Recaro seats. In my opinion the the 13 Nismo is the last & best of the line to date. Single color paint job, design and function serve a purpose either on the street or track. How many two tone paint jobs or radical changes do you see from the iconic sport car designers?

Instead of going for looks or shock value, Nissan should start manufacturing a turbo Nismo. The Ford Focus ST has 252 HP & 270 ft lbs of torque. The Nismo has 350 HP & 276 ft lb. Nissan needs to consider this to compete w/ the hot hatches & Ford Mustangs that offer mother amenities for a equal or better price. Looks can only get you so fat in the market place.

To each their own but I personally think the '15 Nismo looks amazing.
My only issue is the stock wheels...but aside from that, its pretty awesome.

Read Lee Iacocca book on the automotive industry . Nothing beats Japanese build quality and reliability . German engineering is great but they break down. Mac |

I guess you've never seen a Porsche 911 GT3? Any number of Lamborghini cars with ridiculous 2-tone paint jobs that have been produced over the last few decades? I guess every Ferrari you've ever seen is bright red with polished aluminum wheels? I like the 2014 and 2015 NISMO as well as the '09 - '13. |
