Rumored for a while, but I'll still say it:
please god bring back the 240sx/180sx/silvia to the states, and give us a turbo from the factory. KA24DE was a great motor last time around if you didn't have to fool with smog, so pleeeaaaase give us a turbo or a worthwhile NA like a K series or F20C so we can have hopes of achieving over 200hp legally.
Seriously though, the new GTR, LFA, NSX (what's with the three letter themes anyway?), ZR1, etc etc etc, what happened to the us 9-5er enthusiasts?
Oh, and i hate the look posted above, it just screams I can't afford the GTR so I bought this instead. That kind of menacing grille needs to be backed by the rest of the car, it;s like seeing the guy in teh gym with the big ol arms but is otherwise scrawny. Hell, save the cost altogether, jsut bring me the friggin s15 with whatever the new engine (read above) is going to be and pass the savings to the enthusiasts .

i like it. definately has the a nostalgic look to it. though it would be better if they didnt try to emulate the styling of the new gtr. also anyone else think that their directions in the headlight department are wacky? I think so...

Ohh yea, kinda looks like an S
I don't think so. It's very reminiscent of the 240z, the front I would rather have it more retro and closer looking to that of the S30Z.

I'd like to see Nissan bring back the Srl-311 Fairlady that was first out in the mid 60's. Here's an example

You beat me to it! And, you do of course mean SPL311. The 1967 and earlier short windscreen model looks better, too, but had a smaller motor.

How so? Long hood, short deck? Because that's about the only thing it has in common with an S2000.
You must be blind! It is like, SOOOO like the S. It has 4 wheels, two doors, two headlights in the front of the car and it comes in the same colors!! Jeesh! You are, like, soo stupid!

Not bad, but I don't like the way the headlights trail down the top of the fenders. The body lines are nice, though.

I love it. If the 370Z looked like that I would be all over it.
