Sign This Petition! (imports)

[STREET DREAMZ]

CLICK THIS FOR THE PETITION

Hey everyone! I will be posting this on many import and motoring forums all around the world. The petition is

about encouraging and hoping to influence Nissan Motors to continue to produce performance and turbo import

vehicles. After a period of time, when as much signatures are collected as possible, I will be sending this to the

CEO of Nissan Motors, Carlos Ghosn, with a short statement. Help make the future of Nissan imports &

performance vehicles bright!! (by signing the petition located by link ABOVE.)

TELL YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS, LOCAL DOCTOR, ANYONE WHO LOVES THEIR NISSANS!!!!

We can all join and unite as one to make a powerful force to encourage and influence the future of our beloved cars!!

Many thanks to Go Petition! & Nissan Silvia! & Skylines Australia!

hmmm - i was just reading up last one on the future of performance vehicles. Ultimately I think it will head towards the hybrids - and it certainly does look that way. But I have signed the petition anyway.

signed too,

stuff hybrids we want petrol sucking turbo cars!

Is there a chance this could work in reverse? ie. if not enough people sign it and nissan happen to find out - would they assume that there are not enough buyers to warrant building more turbo performance cars??

I signed it anyways all the best...

IMO its not all about the customers, its about continuing Nissan's heritage - they have been a leader in their class for some time and the GTR is a world famous car. But it comes down to the company's focus and direction I guess.

ROFL.. can any of you actually afford brand new nissan sports cars to show that there is a demand, and to encourage them to make further models?

I assume you all own 350z ? you're all buying the next GTR in cash?

of course.....not

but we are giving nissan some great positive exposure with the cars we drive now...

I could be wrong on this but most car manufacturers seem to use their powerplant top-model cars to help sell their daily-driver/family cars. I dont know how much difference it makes but a lot of manufacturers use it in their advertising.

It seems from the 350z that nissan still want a "sports car" in their mix of cars so I'd say _that_ trend will continue. But I personally doubt we'll see another silvia or skyline true to the ones we drive. Maybe nissan will make another performance coupe (possibly the ugly foria concept?) and re-use the silvia name? who knows?

By wrapping them around poles or running from the police? I bet Nissan wished that Skylines were never allowed to be imported to tell you the truth!

i think you'll find thats still the minority. but i thought of that after i'd posted...oh well.

and in any case hoons will be hoons - its hardly the fault of the car. There are a more hoons in aussie cars in my opinion - eg. beat up holden commodores...seems nearly everyone that drives a vp/vn thinks they have a rocket...

I hate to say this but Nissan dont make imports. We make them imports by importing them.

And Nissan Australia certainly isnt keen on us importing skylines, silvias etc...

i agree with pixel8r.

an import nissan gets wraped around a poll, and it gets plenty of media attention, mentioning the model of the car and the age of the driver...etc..etc..so then ppl think "jeez, its always the skylines, silvia..etc.."

wen a random holden gets trashed, the car isnt even mentioned in the media...

bingo. You're petition wording is flawed and will make people at Nissan scratch their heads when they read about 25 people worldwide wanting Nissan to "continue making turbo imports!!"

turbo technology is still a viable performance option, 335i coupe, 997 Turbo, etc, etc, but Nissan has JUST managed to drag itself out of the water, and is going quite well at the moment. But recovering car companies do NOT want to start adding 3 performance models to cater for an ever increasing environmentally aware, public.

And i would argue that Nissan Oz is quite happy for us to import, save them the cost of bringing the cars here themselves, market them, advertise them, dealership space...etc. etc. Instead, we bring em in, get them serviced, buy parts, get parts brought in from japan at stupidly high prices. No, i think Nissan quite likes it. We know that the car companies get their biggest marings from parts and servicing, it's probably a nice little bonus for them with all these imports running around.
