IDX doesn't look like a 510, it looks like a 60s Silvia.

Yup

Kinja'd!!!

510? Not really.

Kinja'd!!!

Even the front end looks very similar. Comes to kind of a point like the Silvia's did.

How much do you want to bet it's going to be called Silvia as well? At least in Japan.

Nope, you are looking at it wrong. Look at the A and C pillars. The larger fixed rear window. The proportion of the hood to the trunk.

If you look at other images of the IDx the front is flat and the corners are angled back.

It isn't going to look like that either. The production version at least. That will probably be more conventional and not as badass as the one on the right. The one on ehte left looks kind of funky.

A few days ago, I said that Toyota needs to build a retroized Celica. Yes, I know the retro thing is getting old, but that was a beautiful car.

Nissan apparently listened to me. And then went back in time, or something. Beautiful car, but they need to make some changes to the roof, especially the rear pillar.

As long as its rwd and doesn't come with a CVT, I don't care what it's supposed to look like

Now if only they could give it the same greenhouse, with windows of actual usable height.

I don't think the C-pillar or the rear trunk/roofline is attractive at all. The front is kinda cool, but that bumper is awkward. The car doesn't seem well proportioned; it looks too tall. Don't hate me, but The 510 or the Silvia weren't exactly gorgeous cars to use for inspiration, they're a fairly bland looking car despite having aged well.
