I thought each car -- because of it's engine and purpose -- would require a different shaped body to best harness it's potential... but I guess Nissan thinks not. The NISMO Note looks like a hatchback NISMO Z.

What I'm really amused about, is that NISMO parts are waaaaaaay overcharged by Nissan. So when someone who did spend a little extra for his NISMO Note gets in an accident, he might be in for a little surprise when the shop gives him a parts quote (or the guy that rear ended him).

I guess Nissan really thinks there's people out there who need a garage full of NISMO. Pick up the kids in the NISMO Note. The wife drives the NISMO Sentra. You drive the NISMO 370Z to work and use the NISMO Juke for rainy days. The NISMO GT-R is for those secret nights when seeing the sexy mistress.

I think I'm with you if toyota release that ft1 I will be done with Nissan as well. It's bad when my lightly modded 350z was more fun and more reliable then my 2013 nismo Z. I know they cheaped out on some parts and just made the car have way more blind spots.

At the rate that Nissan is going, Nismo will end up becoming the new base model...

I checked out the link for the new Nismo and just realized in the interior pics that all the brushed aluminum accents are now flat black.
Check it out for yourself.

Not cool if you ask me. I like all my brushed aluminum accents and the flat black looks cheap and plain.
