it's a nissan, who cares...

Good idea, but they used the wrong damn motor.
QR motor is shit. Even the newer VQ's are having problems. Chances are this one will burn up like the rest.

rear end looks better...front end is still blah...why does the 4 cyl have dual exhaust?

[DasTeknoViking]

Damn it if wasn't for the side pictures lower on the page, I thought this was a Maxima !

Atleast they designed a new interior..........

It's a CVT tranny, not to mention a hybrid, what's the point of being gated. The hybrid wont sell much and is only offered in a few states where the people go crazy for those things. Fact is, hybrids dont give you the bang for the buck that people think. They just give you that smug satisfaction and warm feeling inside.

did anyone read how much they are selling it for? Awhile back when toyota came out with the hybrid, everyone was like SWEET, then some people started to caculate the price of the vehicle and how much gas they eat in 10years. They compared it to a normal gas eating sedan and how much gas they eat in 10years. The result was the hybrid car is not much of a money saver in the end. You are paying a lot more to keep the hybrid, than a normal sedan.

I drove a 05 Prius the other day and it was quite a nice ride. At WOT it felt like my Subaru at 1/2 throttle.

I'm sorry, no more Nissans for me. I am looking at getting my mom a older Legacy AWD. I'm completly sold on their reliability.

[Cousin Ryan]

yeah i like the interior... i hate the way all the new engines look. Theyre too... Idk... Plastic/electronic looking. I know this is a hybrid, thus its not going to look like the rest, but just in general. I like the engines that have a powerful look to them.

[NIGHTMAREuki]

headlight are like maxima's, front is ugly and steering wheel looks cheap...
ohh yeah and the rims look like older rim cowers
NO SELL:wacko: :frown:

yeah that was fun, thing barely moved, but still a decent car

[ColombianMax]

Believe it or not I like it..the only thing is that the rear end when looking at it straight from behind looks like the new Eclipse, looking at it from rear angle looks like a tC, when lookin at it from the side it looks like a Saturn and to top it off the tail lights got some Mazda colors going on.. I still think its not bad like most of you guys. Oh and the front does look 6th gen-ish

Anyone see the resemblance I see?

Looks like the quality went up, not sure if i like the way the vents are, reminds me of a pontiac.

[50 Percent]

[kkozy1982]

[Cousin Ryan]

[Kowalski]
