are u saying nissan is bringing out another coupe? along with the alty and Z coupe?

i have never heard of this rumor b4...only rumor i heard was that the next Z was going to be smaller and lighter than the current Z...a third coupe under "nissan" would be a bad idea, if it's not a small coupe that would compete with the likes of civic Si

 

Yeah, just rumors. But I read it on Autospies.com when I was checking out 370Z stuff. Here's the link to the article.

 

If they're really going to compete with the 1 - they need lots of power, and lots of weight loss. That 135i is just too damn quick.

 

There's no way Nissan would produce a 2.5-2.7l G to compete with the 1-Series. They already dropped a 2.5L in the Altima coupe and even if that thing was an Infiniti it could never out run a Gallardo. I don't forsee this happening.. Another dull photochop to rassle up some propaganda.

 

If you take a look at the official G37 sketch (http://cache.jalopnik.com/assets/res...g35_sketch.jpg), it is pretty obvious that the new sketch has the same artistic style: from the angle of the A-pillar to the shading. In other words, it is more likely than not that the new sketch is officially from Infiniti.

 

hmmm I hope that they smooth out that character line if they do release this. Otherwise this has very similar styling cues as the renderings for the 370Z.

The other coupe that is rumored to be released for Nissan is the return of the RWD Sylvia(SX). I bet it takes place of the Altima Coupe.

 

That's strange, I could have sworn I posted in this thread.

"I wonder if this car will be a piece of **** like the 1 series is."

 

This coupe will not only compete with the 1, but the article in Edmonds stated that it's main competition will be the Z4 and the Cayman.

 

haha...are you sure about that...the 135 is blowing doors off of caymens and M3s

i seen a street race m3 vs 135

and...

First of all, I wasn't talking at all about how fast the cars are. Second of all, that video is a joke.

Car and Driver recorded the following in tests of the M3 and the 135i:

2008 M3 E92:
0-60: 4.3 (Both DCT and MT)
Quarter Mile: 12.7 at 113 (DCT), 12.8 at 113 (MT)
0-150: 26 (DCT), 24.3 (MT)

2008 135i:
0-60: 4.7
Quarter Mile: 13.3 at 106
0-150: Infinity

While BMW pumps a lot out of a 3 liter engine, it doesn't compare to the M3 any more than the M3 can compare to an SLR. Sure, the 1 series is quick, but don't get ahead of yourself--it isn't that quick. I wasn't even talking about speed, anyway.

 

Yeah, the 1-series is a real bucket.

Also, note that the video compared the prior M3 generation to the new 135i and 335i. The new M3 is a ridiculous beast.
