Renault/Nissan

Why is it automatic only? I thought yuros liked stick?

>>17466484
Only if they stop making crap cars

>>17466484
Maybe Nissan will rebadge it as an Infiniti for the American market. I would think a little sportscar like this will do well in the US. It's faster than the GT86. The price has to be significantly lower than the Porsche Cayman tough.

Isn't that Q60 territory?

>>17466589
>Q60
Looks more like a GT. The rebadge would be just for markets where Renault isn't present.

i'm thinking about it right now desu

twingo on steroids?

Sexy weight transfer on braking and corning, this thing's going to be a handling gem, even if the turbo 4cyl engine will be a snore-unit.

glorious dacia/nissan/renault for the masses

>>17466484
Renault knows how to make decently fun engines and especially amazing chassis', but if it's a "feels" car a la Alfa 4C, the lack of a stickshift is a downer, no matter how good the DCT is.

no clutch pedal = computers controlling clutch not you

technically semi-automatic

so it's bad because it has no clutch? you can still chose gears can you not?

>>17469265
As much as I hate the auto vs manual vs dct debate, the clutch does involve you alot more than just simply choosing gears.

not saying I don't like automated clutch systems, I would rather an smg e46 than a manual one, but there is a level of involvement missing

>>17469278
Unless it's insanely fast, full manual is the way to go.

What about slow clutch release?

>>17466484
Why all you retards can't understand that manual makes no sense on performance oriented cars because it saves weight and it's more efficient.

Nobody buys them anyway, to the point it's not even worth the cost of offering it as an option...

People sperging out on muh driver input man machine bullshit don't seem to actually drive cars since statistically manual on high end models is virtually dead.

>>17470687
good goy

>>17470687
Is that why Porsche brought back a manual option for the GT3?

>>17470746
>manual option
>you now have to pay more to get less
marketing at its finest

>>17470806
Or maybe setting the fastest laptimes isn't the only thing people that buy GT3s care about.

>>17466492
Yuro only like sticks when they are in bumper to bumper traffic.

>>17466492
Yuropoors only like stick on cars they can actually afford.

it looks very uninspired :(

>>17470816

>>17470831
sadly, this

>>17470816

literally irrelevant

>>17470837
fast lap times

Q60 is a big GT car. This could be slotted as a BMW Z or Mercedes SLS competitor.

>>17467047
Those are some big tires.

>>17466484
this refreshed brz looks pretty fun

>>17471193
>SL65/63 competitor
Too large. You're thinking of the SLK

>>17471197

literally the most important aspect of owning a sports car

Does it have an RR layout like the car its inspired from?

>>17471927
I knew something didn't seem right when I typed that.

This is what I imagine a GT86 would look like if it's mother drank Fukushima plant water during her pregnancy.
