    Default Nissan's Scion?

    Apparently this is Nissan's Scion fighter -- the "Sport Concept" . Smaller than a Sentra. Looks pretty good, in a cyborg-ricey-Japanesey kind of way. Lose the Tupperware and give it to me in black, 2400 lbs, 150hp, and $15,000 and I'd be interested in it as a commuter/OTM.

    S.

    Not too bad. The interior is a little over the top (as is the body kit), but I like the overall proportions much better than Hondas current or upcoming Civic hatch.

    How 'bout a detuned VQ & rwd? I'd pay $20k for that.

    My wife's new Murano has the 3.5l 245hp version of the VQ and I am very impressed with it so far.

    Ahh... I thought both references were to the Murano. I thought you were going Cybil on us!

    The Murano really draws a wide range of responses. I think as many people really hate it as do love it. It's not for the insecure, as you will no doubt have at least one friend that is very critical of your purchase.

    Yep, it appears to read positive and negative so I take that to indicate a turbo.
    I’m a man, but I can change. If I have to, I guess.
