Why can't they sell this thing as a Nissan on our side of the pond.

Yes as an Altima SE-R.... I feel your pain Nissan brothern. Seriously because Nissan USA will bungle up the NISMO name or the SE-R moniker if they do that. Quality of Nissan has gone to the ways of the German cars. Nuff said.

A very cool car. This car reminds me of what Subaru used to do back in the day with their GD Spec C cars. A weight reduction 130 Kg of from a relatively small car is awesome; that is the kind of weight reduction the 2018 Type RA should have had. Those seats look very nice as well.

Someday I plan on importing an S13 coupe or hatch and reliving the glory days of lightweight RWD non nanny bliss. |

Get in line buddy.... lot of us waiting for the 25 year import rule to kick in. I want an S15 with the proper SR20 motor (not the garbage motor sold on USDM shores), RX7 and many others.

You will get a 200 HP CVT only Sentra and you will like it.

There's no reason why they couldn't add another 100 hp to the Sentra Nismo and fit all the sporty stuff. It even shares the h beam torsion rear setup:

They use the same playbook as Subaru (regular STI --> S209) :-)
Except that UK pricing includes 20% VAT; without VAT, the midrange Trophy-R works out to around 50K GBP. That'd be around $50K before tax and fees. Still a lot of money but not as bad as S209, IMO. |

It's cool because it's not available here but that dash looks like old gen Ford.
