Default nissan tackles tc

got this from a forum that my bro told me about:

nissannews.com:
NissanNews.com:
At a Glance: Nissan Sport Concept
The Nissan Sport Concept, which made its public world debut at the 2005 New York International Auto Show, is the latest in a series of dynamic performance/ youth concept vehicles, following the Nissan Actic and Nissan AZEAL concepts.

The Sport Concept is a dynamic three-door hatchback with a dramatic four-seat interior. It offers the look and feel of a sports tuner car, yet is conceived as an affordable, attainable vehicle for buyers entering the new car market for the first time. The Sport Concept brings Nissan’s heritage of innovation, sportiness and driving pleasure to a category of vehicles that traditionally lack excitement and visual appeal.

Highlights of the Nissan Sport Concept include:

Exterior

* Aggressive, athletic roofline with large rear spoiler
* Bold surface composition and robust fender character lines
* Large, muscular front bumper air intake with large wings
* Rear bumper outlet with strong negative surface and bold composition
* Projector-style headlights and rear combination lamps with multi-layered reflectors
* 20-inch aluminum-alloy six-spoke wheels with machined and painted surfaces
* Extensive use of carbon-fiber composite parts
* Pearl White metallic paint
* Wheelbase - 102.4 inches
* Overall length - 171.3 inches
* Overall height - 59.1 inches
* Overall width - 71.1 inches

Interior

* Driver-oriented cockpit designed to enhance the driving experience
* 2+2 seating with emphasis on the deep, body-wrapping front seats with built-in 4-point seat belts
* Front seats covered in Wolf Gray leather with double-layered pearl suede inserts
* Sporty instrument panel with integrated tachometer and gauges
* Distinctive center console with emergency brake lever integrated into the console lid, distinctive sport-throw shifter lever
* Leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel
* Individual rear seats with built-in 4-point seat belts, leather and suede coverings
* Rear console-mounted support grips
* Illuminated starter button on instrument panel



the "head rest" look funny to me.....

Nissan builds quality sh*t! Im sure this will be no different, and it looks pretty appealing to me.

10 to 1 that it will just look like a boring baby Murano once it comes out.

I got to see this in person when it was at the NYIAS ... I was not impressed. I don't like the styling and I VERY highly doubt it will make it to production anything like that. The styling might be close, but I don't think many of the features will make it. Even if they do... there is no way it will hit a $17k price point being comparable to the tC.

my NYIAS pics

Also, these two are what I got of the Sport:

but yeah.. those cars are probably in the final stages of design before they go into production. Nissan is pretty serious about trying to get ahold on a piece of Scion's market, and the Sport, as well as the Azeal




are potential competition that scion will face.
