It doesn’t make 250hp and isn’t called the SE-R. I dig the styling, the interior, the fact it’s manual, but god damn it did they ever screw up the details that matter. Also, two door version pls.

Seriously there’s, what, a 25 year difference between the two of these and the new one makes only 30hp more and weighs SIGNIFICANTLY more than the fuck-your-safety-and-rustproofing record-smashing Si-stomping econobox-on-steroids that was the O.G. SE-R

Well, the two door is never gonna happen.

Gonna be honest here, how many people even cared about another Sentra SE-R or Nismo or whatever before today’s announcement? People are complaining for the sake of complaining because the automotive community has one hell of an entitlement problem.

Obviously no one cares that much. Other than a small peak in 2013 with the concept being announced, general interest (at least in terms of Google searches) has waned, even when they still made the SE-R.

People will still buy it. It’ll sell okay. Enthusiasts are going to complain when all we do is insult Nissan for not doing anything other than building cars with CVTs that are all in all generally okay. And once again, none of us were going to put our money where our mouth is because that always happens when “enthusiast” vehicles come out. It’s never good enough to the collective wet dream we hype it up to be, no one buys them, and then we complain when they disappear. That’s how it always has been, that’s how it always will be.
