2016 Nissan Sentra Automatic: A disappointingly subpar compact
"...flooring the gas pedal at any speed nets pained noises and little discernible change in velocity."

"There is a Sport driving mode that raises both the engine revs and questions about why Nissan fitted a Sport mode."

"...rarely do we encounter a car so lackluster in execution, performance, styling, and general refinement relative to its competitors."

I'm rather fond of the B13 that I'm designing... Maybe they should come here and ask us for advice.

If the Versa Note had the 130 HP Sentra engine it would suck so much less. Better yet the 1.6 turbo, but I digress.

Let's face it, the sr20 series engine is one of the last of the 'greats' for longevity with reasonable power

Hmmm. I wonder at what point automotive designs could be considered to be in the public domain? Or is there such a thing? For example, could some company just start building new SR20 engines at some point?

I just had this crazy idea for a company that makes 'replica' vintage cars using modern and upgraded parts.

I was going to mention the VQ35, but then that nasty, little oil consumption thing.

Nah, those are rebuilt vehicles, not all new construction, which is what I was thinking of.
