I like what they are doing to the lines of the car. It may not be everyones forte' though.

that's what it looks like to me too. But I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Looks like they're bringing back the Silvia/240sx or something according to this.

Id love to see a new edition slivia over here. If that is a mule, that would be cool news. Looks like a Z to me though *shrugs*

Looks like a photochop....notice that the rear wheel has more blur than the front wheel...meaning, it's rotating faster, which wouldn't be possible unless the car was burning rubber...
It looks like a chop to me.

Shortened chasis, that's why the roof is chopped. and less overhang. They likely did a force fit of the Z over it because it would draw less attention. and they already have the z body shape/shell. I'm guessing they'll but a 4 cylinder in it so it doesn't encroach on the Z sales and be cheaper alternative aka steal back some Civic Si and/or Scion tC sales.

Now... a shortened Z platform + a bit lighter weight + 4 cylinder engine = [IMHO] a new Silvia/new SX being announced sometime sooner or later.... but I could be entirely wrong, I guess we'll have to wait and see.
