Impressed: body style, attempt to bring it back
Not Impressed: V6, no Ayrton Senna input, attempt to bring it back hybrid

With new safety standards and such, the car's going to be heavy. I'm sure launching the thing will be next to Godliness, but as an overall performance car, I'm not holding my breath. You can balance the car's distribution, but placing items/adding balast where it's due only makes it even heavier. If Japan's market is going to come out swinging in the performance fields, they better roll up their sleeves and aim for the GTR. The car's name/photo is on every puberty riddled kids wall, and with the bonker numbers it producing with 0-60, and ring times, it'll be a hell of a challange, but to take it on will certainly get the attention.

We won't see another great Import war (300ZXTT,3000GT VR4, RX-7, R32/33/34, Supra MkIV, MR2 (SW20), etc.) but it's a new dawn on a tech savvy performance car world, and it's shaping up to be a decent match up. I'm not a big fan of this hybrid stuff on these cars, only one that's got it right is the Porsche techs and their flywheel technology, hell they use it to race!!

Screw the V6. I understand that when the first import war broke out, 3 litre V6 was big block territory for them. This time around, instead of sticking with grass roots to the original ( a homage if I may say) use the V10 you were planning on using ( I'm sure just like Toyota and the Lexus LFA, they were waiting to unleash some sort of a car after their first GP victory.....which we all know how that worked out) show up Toyota's V10, or at the least, FI V8.

The only positive thing besides the looks is the fact they stayed with midship, instead of the original plans of going FR. I don't know though, in the end I keep looking at it, and it begins to get blander and blander.....already.
