The IDX set to be produced in 2018!!??

UNKNOWN_370 · 02-20-2016, 06:37 PM

2018 Nissan IDX Specs, Release Date | 2017 / 2018 Nissan and Infiniti Cars
DISREGARD

This is official news guys!!! After being disqualified for production in 2016. It looks like we will have production in 2017.

It may or may not have a double debut with the Z? Or maybe we won't see the Z till 2019 as a 2020 model?
But I can see the IDX in my garage next to a Z. It's unique and refreshing in a world of similar cars.

Looks like it.... It was on the Nissan website

I saw these two cars in person a few times in Southern California when they debuted. Very cool designs, a little small, but yes, refreshing. Hopefully the production models will stay true to the stylings of those pre-production versions. Especially the Nismo varient.

I don't know what you're smoking, thinking were smoking something with your smoked out azz...

Seriously though...
To each his own. I think the BMW I8 Looks totally wack but... People jock it... Like the i8 the IDX may be slightly polarizing, but every cars and coffee this car has gone, the response has been overwhelmingly positive.

To each his own.

This is good news. Out of nowhere and unexpected but still good.

Not to be the party pooper here, but that website is pretty much not official in any way. Most of the articles are questionable at best (here's one: 2017 Nissan GT-R R36 Specs | 2017 / 2018 Nissan and Infiniti Cars). It's a shame because, with the low $20k pricing speculation, this seemed like the perfect affordable daily driving car. I love the look.

Nissan originally came out and said they'd produce this car in its RWD form. They then backed off this claim, with profitability as the reason. That turned into Nissan hinting at a FWD version and, as of last year, backing off the concept completely to focus on other areas.

This car may hit production at some point (unlikely as a RWD car), but I wouldn't hold my breath (I'd sooner expect the new Z than this car). This car is very much a concept--nothing more. Even if it does hit production, I'd guess it won't look anything like the concept.

All of those articles are 6 months or older than my article.
And it's all jalopnik sourced. Jalopnik ALWAYS writes negativity when it comes to Nissan. I'm goi g to check other sources and see what I dig up.

All of the Jalopnik articles have sources. It doesn't matter how old the Jalopnik articles are when they have actual information from Nissan and represent the most recent times Nissan has commented on the development of the car. Just because some phony website compiles a bunch of old data and writes a "new" article doesn't mean it invalidates older articles that represent the most relevant comments from the actual manufacturer. Also, if you read the Jalopnik articles, they aren't posting negatively about the car at all. They openly praise the car and have stated on multiple occasions that they want the IDx to be made. Irregardless, whether or not they have a history of being negative on Nissan has nothing to do with them posting facts backed by sources.

The website you linked is not affiliated with Nissan in any way. Nor does it post any new information about the car. It's an article from 11/15 that contains compiled information about the car that has been known for approximately two years now. It doesn't contain any sourced information from Nissan or validated comments about the production of the car. Frankly, the website you linked is not reputable in any way at all. Look at the URL of the website. Look at the articles. It's a bunch of compiled information about concepts that you can find anywhere. They simply slapped a model date on the car for fun. They mention "insider sources" referencing a 2018 model year car without actually naming any sources (because they have none--it's not a real news outlet). While our opinions on Jalopnik may differ (which is OK), they're a much more reputable source than the website you linked, and the articles prove that.

The car isn't being made, period. There are no reputable sources (Nissan) that confirm anything other than the car has been shelved. If you're able to find a real source that says this car is being made for the 2018 MY, I'll be the first to eat crow and apologize to you. I just don't think that is likely.

Dude really... Did you need to go off on a tangent. All I said is I'm going to try to find more info and see if there was more information to back up that article. Being that it appeared as a Nissan related site I took it as legit.

DATES ARE RELEVANT only as an understanding of what's most current. I tried to find a more legit article and turned up no success.

JALOPNIK being negative to me is only valid as they may not be as interested in the most current news as they call NISSAN BORING.

This thread title ended with ??

Finally. There's nothing wrong with me finding news outside of jalopnik. The other article posted was another off brand site so I'm not posting it as relevant.

Lastly, me being the OP, I just wanted to make sure the site was posting irrelevant news.
