fuck modern nissan so hard. they tease us with a 510 spiritual successor, cancel it, and then release the GripZ. How the iDX got cancelled and the fucking murano cross cabriolet made it to production is something I will never understand.

might as well been just a concept.

just like that, right? right after I install a $500 LS7 in an afternoon, it's just that easy, right?
not to mention it's 1 of 179 and is a collectors car (not cheap). finding one for sale would be a challenge in itself.

They're not expensive either.

>>13958801
Its simple really. Nissan problaby wants to make fun cars like toyota and mazda but their doting renault overlords yank their chain and demand them to follow everyone else making shitty crossovers. Nissan doesnt need renault anymore
>>13958985
That's a different car. That is an NB coupe, which there were about 1000 made.
>>13959005
Nissan is actually making a lot of money right now, while Renault is losing a fuck ton of money because they make shitty cars. Maybe Nissan can somehow buy out more of Renault.
>>13959023
In that case it just makes me madder. How can they not at least try to make the idx when their making money? People obviously wanted it. But i guess grabbing the people who are into crossovers is better.
>>13959014
>That is an NB coupe, which there were about 1000 made.
No, they only made 179.
http://www.j-spec.com.au/lineup/Mazda/Roadster_Coupe/NB8C/id-532
>>13959036
crossovers sell.
>>13959051
Yeah i know. At the very least even though it'll probably won't happen, id hope they use the money from the gripz to make the idx, or some other sports car.
>>13959005
>le evil Renault boogeyman
Protip:
Nissan didn't want to make awesome sporty cars anymore even long before Renault actually saved their fucking asses.
Without Renault they would have went out of business and they're doing really well now, too.
Check your facts, fanboi.
>>13959050
ok, we'll the one he posted was an NA coupe.

>>13959076
>Nissan didn't want to make awesome sporty cars anymore even long before Renault actually saved their fucking asses.
Renault saved Nissan in 1999. The year before that they just released the S15 Silvia and R34 Skyline. They also still made the 300ZX. By 2002 all of those were canned and were replaced by the G35 and 350Z, which shared platforms with crossovers and every other rwd car Nissan made at the time. How did Renault not make them shit?

>>13958655

>>13960827
are you some kind of moron?
>>13961022
no,the sides do have a hint of both Lincoln and rolls Royce phantom
>>13958655
That actually looks like something that cadillac would release these days. Maybe as a next gen cts coupe
>>13961301
Every cue on that concept is off the 1960s Continental, including the suicide doors. I don't see any Rolls at all. The proportions in particular are very classic American barge / nothing at all like a Rolls.
>>13958868
these are so cool, they literally look like hot wheels

Is your argument that it looks like the RR? If so your picture is convincing me of the opposite.
Not even him by the way, what between the RR and the lincoln are similar?
>>13958733
WTF
I'm still slightly buttblasted. I can sorta get why it wasn't made, but the concept is just so titillating. Four wheels, some aero and a monster dyno-busting V12? Count me in
>>13960557

Are you high
>>13963002
isn't it called a bugatti veyron now?
>>13963338
The Corvette was already well established as one of the greatest sports cars at the time(for the price).
People bought them not just because they were good, but because they had a sort of heritage to them.
The Banshee would lower sales of corvette and harm its name, I reckon.
I think this was cancelled because GM didn't want 'internal' competition to the Corvette.
>>13963300
If GM allowed the Corvette team to build the mid-engine C3 then Pontiac could have had their Banshee. Too bad that was about the time the bean counters took over. But hey atleast when the second mid-engine C4 was canceled Pontiac got the Fiero out of it.
>>13963343
No, that concept was more of a traditional super sports car than the strange pigfat luxury blob that is the Veyron.
>>13963448
Also why does Peugeot make the best concepts that are complete to the point of being actually drivable on public roads, with the sole purpose of never releasing them?
Take the Oxia for example, a 680 hp AWD screamer built in 1988. Not in production because fuck you, but hey here's a new econobox you don't give a single shit about!
WHY ALFA, WHY?!
It's fucking PERFECT
>>13963367
Anything good GM made was ruined by it being better than the Corvette. We never got any good Fieros or more powerful Saturn Skys, or any of the good Pontiac concepts.
>>13963801
>PERFECT

They didnt kill the commodore ute until next year lol, You can still buy a brand new one until the end of 2016.
Was never really a concept car in the first place was just a VE commodore with a Pontiac front end on it.
>>13958242
Nissan Sentra Nismo
it's not the sleeper sentra I always wanted, but aesthetics can be fixed.
>>13964260
Hes probably American. Here in america, theres a decent bit of Pontiac G8's and such around as you can imagine, I guess he thought that commodore utes werent literally the same thing. I'd love to have a new holden, but sadly we dont get them here. Also, you lucky bastards get all kinds of cool fords, too. Like the Bara, 310 I believe. Turbo 6, makes dank horse, and is reliable af. We literally don't have a single car in USA with that motor, and it will cost you a fuckwad to buy one and import it. RIP
>>13964326
You can import a HQ GTS ute, why get a new one?
The Toyota RV2. Perfect for fucking your sister on a camping trip
>>13964326
And yes we do get all kinds of cool fords, don't the new Mustangs use our ford v8's?
Just the six use do not have if i am not mistaken.

I agree but imagine Peugeot actually making that and asking half a million euro for it. Every motoring journalist would give them shit for it and all the autists on /o/ would go mad because "hurrdurr good job having spent 500k on a Peugeot nigga"
>>13968513
>>13968358
Why not just get any old formula ford, stick fenders and lights on it, and call it a kit car at the DMV? The ones from the 80s are under $10k.
>>13968529

I don't know. The C4 Cactus can look cool if you spec it right but I'm afraid it's just as terrible to drive as all the other Citroens I've driven.

I fell in love with the Toyota Pod concept in like 2002 and ever since, I wish they had put features from it into production.
The car was programmed to respond to and produce emotion.
The antenna was embedded in the rear windshield like most cars. So what was the antenna like object in the rear? It was a tail. Literally, the car had a tail that would wag. And there were exterior lights that would change colors based on the car's own emotions. gas tank on empty? The car glows blue with animated tear drops from the headlamps.

It's true. Corvette is top dog in GM, they don't want anything outperforming it. When the Buick Grand National came out it would leave the same year Corvettes in the dust, so the Buick guys lied about it's horsepower and quarter mile numbers so that it wouldn't get killed.
GM has a history of making really weird and fucked up decisions.

No. They are just plastic shells 99% of the time, including that one.
>>13984725
You can get a VW W12. It's called the Bugatti Veyron.
>>13984725
Most of the time they are destroyed, or unofficially destroyed (see: some executive gets people to smuggle it out in a trailer and it sits in his private garage for the next 60 years).
