when i had talked to some nissan engineers from japan about 6 months ago or what not when they were here they hinted @ a "silvia" replacement. it was nice to see that they were excited about the car. they had said an entry level rwd car that would be aimed @ what the silvia was in japan, and affordable low 20's high teen's car. so i'm still hopeful something will be coming in the next 2 years.
