OT: New small rear wheel drive concept car

Being a child of the seventies I grew up with cars that were of the 3 box design. I am a big fan of them. The original Toyota Celica, Datsun 510 and of course the BMW 2002. While BMW likes to compare our cars and the 2 series to the 2002 they both bear very little resemblance.

I am not sure how I missed this but Nissan is now showing a concept car that will be REAR WHEEL DRIVE if they release it!

What do you think?

i LOVE that concept. I remember seeing it when it was debut'd at the Tokyo Motor Show.....apparently the project has been 'green lighted' already. If they produce it like that and it's affordable, i think that car would be a total hit.

My first car was a 1993 Sentra SE-R i got used....it was fantastic. I still miss it. I feel like that car was a direct descendant of the 510.

Looks cool! Interested to see what the production version actually looks like though.

IMHO the Toyobaru BRZ/FT86 missed the boat by being both too expensive and too light on power. If it would have had either hit the $20-$22K mark, or had more power for $30K, it would sell a great deal more. Hopefully this will come in at the low $20's and be affordable for young driving enthusiasts.
