this would be fun to drive! :D
do ya'll think the concept car is the Micra? i don't think so....the concept looks reminds me of the transformer robots, but it does look sharp. another winner for Nissan USA?
looks good. the rims suck, but that's easily fixed ;)
hopefully they don't change the styling if (when?) they release it to the unwashed masses...
they didnt encounter the same problem as the mugen jazz dynamite? i read that the mugen jazz has the rev limited * 3k bcoz the mugen peeps r finding ways to keep it on the ground!

Nissan did their homework in maintaining a good front-rear weight distribution balance, aside from suspension upgrades, etc.
Big downside, no more rear seats and noisy engine (you butt is inches from it).![]()
i wonder how does this car compare with an Evo or Wrx on a track?Originally Posted by chieffy
Ganda nung Micra-R. Lagyan nila ng supercharger yung makina, para ka nang nakasakay sa Bit Char-G na naka 3.0 Devil motor. :evillaugh:

lol... they've only built one, though. Supposed to be telepathic on the track, but (obviously) really hard on the butt.
The new Nissan is in the latest Autocar. They're launching it in the Asean as a replacement for the Sunny, but god knows if Yulon will actually give us these models or force us to keep buying ten year old cars.![]()
