Jay Leno drives Nismo IDX

UNKNOWN_370

What's going for the idx...
1. Similar size and weight to the toyobaru.
2. It will be built to Nissan internal and external build quality standards.
3. Nissan wants this car to have it's own driving characteristics. It won't be a toyobaru copy.
4. It will have either a 1.6/1.8/2.0 TURBO. Nissan won't say. Either way, it will have more balls than a toyobaru.
5. It's another affordable RWD sports car in the game.


I think it's ballzy looking like the GT-R. And if it gets a soundtrack as raw as the focus ST? I'm getting one as a daily for sure.

SIZE?!?!?! It's a 1950's Caddy compared to the FRZ.
Quality, LOOOOOLLLL!!! Toyota has 5-10 times the quality of Nissan, granted the FRZ is a pretty shitty because they made it on a budget and released it under the shittier Scion name for a reason.

And if it's to sell in Japan, it won't because of the Japanese laws that made the 370Z have no sound

You need to see the car in comparison to other cars. It's very low. Also look how tall Jay is in comparison to the car. Lastly, nissan design engineer stated, the IDX will compare in size and weight. The IDX is also shorter than the FRZ according to the design engineer

Second. If you've been in the newer cars. Sentra, Altima, Juke, Versa. They All surpass in materials compared to there rivals. Even the new Mazda 3 has superseded Toyota workmanship. Pathfinder interior kills most luxury
SUV interiors at the 45k mark.

As far as soundtrack. Most of the ST's soundtrack is heard inside. Lastly, the GT-R sounds awesome outside. Nissan just tried to go GT on the Z exhaust and the buying public wanted more muscular sound. The G37 has a better, more muscular soundtrack, so I don't understand where you're going concerning the exhaust?

PS. The Toyota FT-86 in Japan has the same shytty FRZ interior

i'll agree with you somewhat on the quality point, but toyota as of late is not what you remember them to be compared to the toyotas i know your family owns. i have seen numberous complaints of windshields cracking on their own and interior panels rattling from alot of toyota camry owners that have the 2012 and above model years. as far as the size, i have to stop you there, because if you have actually seen the IDx in person you'd know that it IS actually smaller than the FRS/BRZ by a good margin, but also still has a useable back seat compared to the FRS/BRZ. overall i'm not really sure where you're going with the complete and utter hatred of the IDx, but there's no need for anyone on either the love it or hate it side of the argument to get defensive and start bashing one brand over the other as that is not what this thread is here for.
