NISSAN IS DEAD http://www.speedhunters.com/2015/12 /what-th

All this touting about the GT-R is still just halo car bullshit too anyway.
Kind of a fucking shame.

There are no mid play cars.
Back then every fucking nissan had a turbo option.
Now it's.
CVT or fuck you.

/o/ doesn't care. Nissan is the second coming of Jesus because it made a car that can beat a car which costs half as much around a race track.

Yes it is, they put all their money into their one trick pony, and as a result, screwed over people who aren't rich by abolishing their Z line after a decade long pitiful existence and refusing to produce another cheap sports car, something Subaru and Mazda at the very least obliged.

Post yfw weeaboo benchraces will NEVER EVER be able to afford a Nissan GT-R

I do think its a disappointment they decided not to look into a production version of the IDx, especially when people as high up as Jay Leno were practically pleading them to. But I guess that means they're now left out of a market segment cars like the 86 and the Miata are doing surprisingly well in.

>>14038245
Yeah, I'm convinced Nissan isn't as well off financially as they claim, hence why they're trying to cut the failing Z line, refused to put any money into developing the IDx, and trying to push sporty crossovers, since research shows that's what casuals are buying today.

I just want an s16 toyobaru killer is that too much to ask?

What's toyota excuse what's Hondas excuse

Nissan was in serious financial trouble and literally couldn't produce the silvia skyline z32 etc anymore because of change of laws in Japan

They gave the gtr and a fantastic motorsports program
Toyota had to work together with subaru to build a shit box they're too embarrassed to call a toyota in the United States

>>14038081
who cares? nissan is irrelevant. if they went under tomorrow it wouldn't matter. japan has too many car makers as it is, it's unsustainable.

>>14038945
>What's toyota excuse

They don't know how to build anything but shitboxes anymore

>>14038961
And Nissan builds shit boxes because it's not the 90s anymore and it's not financial responsible to have lineups like they oonce did

>>14038466

too bad the viper never really won anything, even in GTS form

>>14038192
The 370 is an aging car. Its a fantastic car but its starting to show its age when compared to the performance of similar classed cars.

>>14040162
see: Nissan GripZ

then plan your exit from this earth like the rest of us.

How stupid are posters on this board srsly

>>14040403
I know its not replacing the Z dumbass its just the fact that Nissan is going to put the Z badge on the fucking thing.

The best Japanese car brands are objectively Toyota, Honda, Subaru, and Mazda.
Nissan a big shit and Mitsubishi is a literal who right now.

A new Silvia and a new Pulsar would make them roll in cash. A lighter and faster Z too, of course.

If Mazda could refresh its whole lineup while being a much smaller company... why can't Nissan do the same?

I don't know if I should blame Renault or the Japanese salary men of Nissan that hate their lives.

>>14038081
>NISSAN IS DEAD
And nothing of value was lost.

>>14040385
Is the the 370Z a good DD? I'm starting to think I have no reason for extra seats and that two is plenty.

>>14040296
From certain angles it looks cool, but that's about it.

>>14041035
I believe it's a combination of Renault and Nissan refusing to take risks after the Japanese bubble economy burst in the 90s.

>>14040432
Toyota and Honda have fallen into the same trap as Nissan. Both have completely forgotten how to build a sportscar. Toyota had to beg Subaru for help and still didn't really and up with anything better than Subaru's own offerings. The FT-1 concept is simply disgusting and shares nothing in common with any generation of Supra. The LFA is a mildly interesting footnote. The IS-F and RC-F are BMW-tier drivel.

Honda has a FWD shitbox with a turbo and a bodykit designed by a 12 year old, and a car that's basically an LFA without a soul that looks like a bland mid-2000s concept.

Literally the only manufacturers that matter right now are Mazda and Ford. Even their shitboxes are cool.

>>14041305
Very noisy and vibration is harsh. You can't see out the side to shoulder check, the blind spots are huge. Fuel economy isn't up to par. Storage space leaves something to be desired. Cooling problems as usual with Nissan performance cars, overheating brakes and master cylinder failure.

>>14041424
Plus, it's pretty overprice.

Did you know you can option a convertible to nearly 55k?

>>14038907
Yes.

Enjoy your Juke.

>>14038907
>>14042030
To add to that I wish they'd just start making the S15 again.

It isn't possible to find one in Australia that hasn't been fucked with by some gronk who fancied himself a tuner.

>>14042032
>mfw bought a r33 gtst
Yep their all half fucked modded by gronk idiots

>>14041337
Agreed on Toyota but Honda seems to have remembered at least a little of its heritage with the S660.

The current auto-only Clio RS, widely viewed as the worst ever, has far outsold the old one. The new Megane GT is also auto only, and we haven't seen hide nor hair of the Twingo GT they were supposedly working on.

Renault too seems to have stopped caring about enthusiasts. I guess that makes sense if they're making money from it, but it's still a shame.

I guess you can't "fix" what isn't broken.
The GT-R (recent gen), ever since it was revealed, it blew everyone's mind.

Its one of the best cars in the world right now and will probably be a classic in a couple of decades like the 34.

What is sad is that if you look at the concept art of the next-gen GT-R, it looks like a turd.

It sucks... it really does.

Its like seeing something you like turn into something you dislike.

>>14045253
So the best move would be to either make a new series or cancel the GT-R?
