Anybody who’s been around racing for a few decades will no doubt fondly recall a small bore, rear wheel drive Datsun of some sort or another. 510, B210, and later on the 200sx & the 240sx. They were cheap to run, reliable and a blast to drive. While Nissan has gotten it together with the 240/260/280’s spiritual successor, the 350Z, the car is still an expensive toy to run. What about the little guy?
Over at Autoblog, John Neff has reported that Nissan may be close to bringing a small, rear wheel drive car to life. Possibly based on the Foria Concept shown at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show, the car would fulfil the cries of drifters and racers around the world.

As a former 240SX owner who put 100,000 + miles on it I have to say that it is missed in the market. Sure the drifters love the SX but it really was unique in the market. There’s really nothing like it in the market today!
A sports car base on the Urge concept would be more interesting for me.
now i gotta say.that is the uglyst nissan i have ever seen
I own an 89 240sx Coupe - I would rather spend 10k on it than buy that thing for 20+k - I mean, come on! That thing is ugly - its a 350Z with a long hood and ugly bmw front fenders… Did they take the whole bmw roadster design and put a nissan logo on it?
