At this point, to me at least, its like why bother. Sentras are decent rental cars.

I would like to see Nissan come back to its 90's status. I remember when every car in the lineup had performance injected into it....

200sx
Pulsar
240sx
300zx
300zxTT

MAXIMA and even the Altima was performance oriented with amazing 60-90mph highway passes for a lowly 4 banger. A company like Nissan or Toyota should have NEVER become appliances. This us a company with a unique sporting heritage. It was able to show that heritage in every single car they made from $11,000 to $40,000 in the 90's. Why should it be different today?

Chevy/Ford/Chrysler/Honda make enough rental cars. It's time for Nissan to step up. and get back on home plate.

Yah, I see wat u say, but it also killed the company for having so many different platforms and trims by the late 90's. Nissan needs a performance hatch for the segment, not a sedan.

I agree... but making a good SR & Spec-V version of a sentra couldn't hurt the brand. Nissan should bring back the Pulsar name in a FWD/AWD GTi competitor? In theory, that would be nice.

yah, but to compete vs a mk7 GTI, ull need over 250hp cause the GTI's crank hp rating is sandbagged .. these cars churn over 220whp/270lb ft range in stock form easily. with a simple piggyback and light weight wheels, it's 370z territory..and im not kidding.

Let
The Juke will be on a new chassis, next gen. Probably the sentra will be on that same chassis next gen as well. Maybe even the Z too? We'll just have to see.
