I have to make the point that many of us love our Nissan's because of their fine work with forced induction.

And I have to agree with the other person in this thread that is bored to tears by Nissan's current lineup.

Consolidation or no consolidation, Subaru is making more exciting new cars than Nissan to be perfectly honest, and they seem to be doing OK financially (correct me if I'm wrong)?

In 1999, Renault took over Nissan:

Yes but you are missing the point. Fuji Heavy Industries (ie. Subaru) had (and still does) a very small model range and were not in a dire financial situation. They can thus afford to make "more interesting" cars.

By the way, have you seen their new coporate face? Going to be a very "interesting" (read: ugly) Subaru range in the next year.

I think once nissan make a shitload of money (like they are at the moment) they will get back into making awesome cars once again.. maybe around the 2007 mark.

The V35 is better than a 350z, so why is everyone so dissapointed?

Oh I know, because they cant afford one, and they cant afford to put a twin turbo kit on it.

Ya sooking babies!

slightly off topic but the top secret 35-series is damn sweet. see, they can look nice and fat.

but thats what i'm saying, its like nissan has lost its spirited performance car line-up or 'soul' as someone else said

for the fast car driver, there's nothing in the nissan range anymore

The more I research about the V35's the more I like them.

A G35 Infinity (read Skyline) in the USA with filter and exhaust only, manages 5.3 secs 0-60mph and a 1/4 mile in 13.8. ...not too shabby for a car with "no soul".

Supercharger and turbo kits are readily available in the states too.

Compared to a stock 33/34 GTS/GTT it has nothing to be ashamed of in a straight line and point to point would probably be quicker.

haha sweet... my dad's automatic ceffy is faster than a G35 and its got an aftermarket filter panel and bigger exhaust as well.

I'd own a KPGC110 over a V35 anyday
