Mid-Atlantic 240SX Forums

And now for your regular update of bad news from the auto industry. Autocar Magazine is reporting that Nissan has scrapped development of its rear-drive Silvia successor as cost-cutting measure. It's also been said that the GT-R-based Infiniti Sedan has also been cut. It's painful to hear about this, as the next-gen Silvia was one of those cars with potential to be a big sales hit around the world. Nissan is supposedly redirecting their efforts into building more small cars, including a hybrid competitor to the Toyota Prius and the Honda Insight. With the loss of the new Silvia and the "delay" of the Subaru-Toyota project, Hyundai should have the affordable FR sports market on lock for a long time...

O god. Korean cars are going to rule our streets now.

oh well, we can barely afford 20 year old 240's, how are we going to afford brand new 240's.
i knew the HyGen would prevail.

whos we? cheap 19-20 year olds? i'm sure thats not who they were relying on buying the thing...

No surprise...there isn't a viable market and Nissan is not trying to relive the late 90s when they were near bankrupt.

I believe the common trend for existing 240 owners is to switch to a used 350z/G35 or Evo/Sti anyways.

Many of that crowd are graduating proffesionals, or have started working.
