Looks great, but it's obviously only a concept image.

kenchan · 03-01-2013, 03:19 PM

looks like a honda. which is fine.. i guess. i own 2 nissans, 2 hondas.

Liking the design and peaked my interest.

Z_ealot · 03-01-2013, 03:28 PM

hmmm, me thinks i want one to add along side my 370Z when i get it if all the things in the article hold true...especially that design, looks pretty sexy at least to me

JungleZ · 03-01-2013, 03:35 PM

is that the Honda Crz?
turbocharged 4 is kind of a bummer

kenchan · 03-01-2013, 03:36 PM

yah, that's wat i waz thinking 2...

Spikuh · 03-01-2013, 03:40 PM

Obviously too soon to judge, but going off that design and what they are guessing, I am not a fan.

Not a bold enough step forward.

speedfreek · 03-01-2013, 03:44 PM

I was hoping for a boosted v6. When they say at least 350hp I hope they mean it can be closer to 400hp by the time 2016 drops.

Shouldn't it be the Q60 platform? The Q50 is the sedan.

not a fan. looks like a honda civic. LAME!

COSMO · 03-01-2013, 03:50 PM

If it doesnt have atleast 400hp there's no way it will be able to compete because by then there's no telling what the stangs and camaro will be up too....

Cmike2780 · 03-01-2013, 03:50 PM

Nope/

This article has about as much credibility as I do.

Doesn't really match Nissan's design language. The lines are all over the place. It's too 'chopped together.

nepali · 03-01-2013, 03:59 PM

Even though it's just a concept, I do not like that design at all (the front looks too tall). Current design looks much better. Oh well, let's see when the actual thing is released.

cheshirecat · 03-01-2013, 04:17 PM

The render is just speculation.

I was hoping for something more revolutionary rather than evolutionary, but I guess let's see what ends up coming out.

danegrey · 03-01-2013, 04:27 PM

do not like the front end...
agree with most, they have to get the power up.....
