I actualy kinda like it.

I'd take that over a tC, for example.

Any official confirmation yet on whether a next-gen Z will be debuted Friday? :confused:

i thought camaro and mustang and charger (maybe not chrysler) were all done with the retro-thing? :ugh:

i can't say for sure, but 11/22 is supposedly the date. i saw that on j-magazines as well several weeks back talking about the z35 release.

How awesome would this be as a DD? Something about it makes me want to do silly powerslides. A badass rally version would be killer.

Two new platforms, new Nismo cars, and a new Z. Nissan is on a roll.

I found this Nissan To Preview New Z Sports Car With Tokyo Motor Show Concept: Report

But for all the trotting out of the iffy idx concept, I've not even seen a cloaked silhouette of the next gen Z yet... tomorrow, huh? :icon14:

Am i missing anything here? Personally i think they made a big mistake..

The targeted "audience" for the BRZ/FRS is the younger generation, like people in their early twenties.. most people that age care less about performance or power to weight ratio as long as the car looks good and sporty.

This however probably wont grab their interest as much as the FRS/BRZ.. at least not majority of them. Not saying IDX's design is bad but would you rather drive a FRS to school or an IDX?

the concept and design is pretty unique, i have to give them that

I disagree. People who aren't into cars, want simplicity and could care less about "sporty". Those people couldn't tell the difference between a Civic and a Sentra. The young crowd who want something unique, sporty, rwd and affordable will like the Nismo version. Just look at the Scion tuning crowd and this is leaps and bounds better than an Xb or Tc. I'd pick the IDX over the FRS/BRZ and would gladly drive it to school. When I see a kid in an FRS/BRZ drive one to school, I can't help but think poser/douche/wannabe racercar, ....not car enthusiast. I see a kid rolling in one of these, I think it's someone who's into cars. The target audience for the FR-S/BR-Z is ages 25-midlife crisis.

Wow I dident expect people to have as a positive reaction to this car as I initially did! I really like it!

just put some red e-tape on the frs and it will be a nismo. :tup: :ugh:

for me i was hoping it would look more like a sports car (silvia) vs a sedan-ish car (510).

it's all good for those that like it though. :tup: i just have to look for something different.

I was reading a blog about the show, and they debuted the IDx and it was mostly a positive reaction... your older crowd loves it, and your car culture guys do.. the ones who seemed to have a negative reaction were the young pups(silvia fanatics) who don't know better

:icon18: thanks for the compliment, my young friend. :tup:
