> And now for your regular update of bad news from the auto industry. _Autocar_ Magazine is reporting that Nissan has scrapped development of its rear-drive Silvia successor as cost-cutting measure. It’s also been said that the GT-R-based Infiniti Sedan has also been cut. It’s painful to hear about this, as the next-gen Silvia was one of those cars with potential to be a big sales hit around the world. Nissan is supposedly redirecting their efforts into building more small cars, including a hybrid competitor to the Toyota Prius and the Honda Insight. With the loss of the new Silvia and the “delay” of the Subaru-Toyota project, Hyundai should have the affordable FR sports market on lock for a long time…
That’s to bad, hopefully subaru doesnt cut their small RWD “sports” car.

they COULD just make the altima RWD and give it a facelift. That would make me happy.

all the masses need is a worthy chassis, even if it doesn’t have any power, the people will shoehorn in all sorts of crap to make it go like hell.

I agree with this. It would definitely have its niche. It would serves as a watered down 370z maybe.

Meh doesn’t break my heart too terribly to be honest. They have the 350…err, i mean now 370Z for the less fortunate and the GTR for the more fortunate…i see no real need for them to keep this in their lineup
