i don't think you can compare a little baby coupe runabout to a midsize luxury sedan and keep a straight face

45k sounds like a pretty good deal for that car with the 2.0 turbo in it.....As long as they don't put a loving CVT in it that is.

Imho it comes down more to implementation than technology concerning slushbox/dct/cvt, so if brand X doesn't want to go tech Y I don't really care that much as long as the box feels right when driving.

Cross-shopping absurdly different vehicles is actually the best, if you don't have any hard and fast requirements, because it will tell you what you actually want instead of what you think you might want. Renting weird poo poo and test-driving anything that caught my eye taught me a lot about what I need, what I want, and what I ultimately don't give a poo poo about. If I had though I must have a sports car, or I must have an SUV, or I must have a truck, or I must have a hatchback, and restricted myself to looking at those categories, I would not have as good an understanding of what I actually want out of a vehicle.

Here’s the video the Z shots are from: https://twitter.com/NissanMotor/status/1265937009761071104 As a Nissan tragic, I hope they can turn poo poo around. As much as we mock the Z and well most of their lineup for being old, the basics of the FM platform that underpins the Z and Skyline/whatever the Infiniti version is called this week are solid and well balanced, a lot of hay could be made by slapping modern tech in it (mag ride etc?) with the turbo 6. Not enough trickle down from the cool drive train poo poo in the GT-R to the lesser models. I’m not sure what Nissan ever got out of the Renault alliance, Ol Mate Carlos done hosed up. A decade plus with no decent hot hatch, while Renault pumps out fast Meganes year after year? They finally wised up and rebadged the Versa/Tiida in our market as the Pulsar again and did a SSS version with a 140kw 1.6 turbo but it wasn’t that much to write home about, at least they don’t appear to be as decontented as the US versions.

I just really wish the response to try to juice up the sedan market was to make them all liftbacks. None of the people who think hatchbacks look cheap will be bothered by the styling but it makes it a hell of a lot more useful.

A lot of smaller sedans and even coupes actually have reasonably sized trunks by volume, but it's the trunk opening that is the biggest limiting factor for getting stuff in and out!

Going from a Fiesta hatch to my Volt, I get the space and ease of the hatch with sedan styling. It's so easy to shove stuff in there

They tried that with the Insignia/Commodore and Mondeo (both were liftback/wagon only for Australia and New Zealand) and no one bought them. The Stinger too (which is a bit different I guess because it was never meant to be a mainstream vehicle)
