...says Nissan's design honcho , Shiro Nakamura:
"I want to make a two-door coupe. It's coming, you'll see it within one year. It'll be a production version, a little bit bigger than a BMW 4-Series, but not as big as a 6-Series," he said.
"As you know, always our sizes are a little bit in between BMW's sizes. Look at the Q50, that's between the 3-Series and 5-Series," he added.
Q50 is between a 3 and a 5 when you look at the standard equipment and interior toys, I might add.
The Q60 will also get an ER version, meant to devour the M4 and the RC-F, as Nakamura continues:
"We are still working on the Q50 Eau Rouge, and we don't want to give up on that, but the business case is not that easy,"
"We believe that it's a strong statement, and we need a halo car. It's almost a cost of entry into the premium segment, because you cannot just make affordable cars. Without a halo or performance vehicle, particularly in Europe, people don't consider you a premium brand."
"An Eau Rouge type car for the two-door? Yes, I like the idea. If we can get a four-door Eau Rouge built, we can get the same for the two-door, using the same powertrain. That's a good idea, let me think about it."
You can see from the way he talks that Shiro is more then just a design chief...

" Without a halo or performance vehicle, particularly in Europe, people don't consider you a premium brand. " Someone please send that to Acura. Sales are dropping, their cars are nothing special and there is NOTHING to attract buyers to them. No wonder they are losing. Also the NSX prototype burned up in the 'Ring after being in development for 5 years. Sad. To think they made the old NSX and the Integra, Sigh.
