Silverarrow Neutral Newbie July 13, 2004 Share July 13, 2004 they wanna milk the cow dry for the current sunny model till they change to renault based chassis and design.... You're right. A quick check revealed that the Megane-based Sentra/Sunny/Almera/Pulsar will only be launched in 2006. At the mean time, Nissan buyers will have to make do with a minor facelift. Sigh... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Clutched July 13, 2004 Share July 13, 2004 well.. if u look at it as a package in general, the car has got nice, classy interior. with this new body shape, it has juz got more upmarket. to me, if the car can come with a better engine, better FC, and pricing remains at current level, it may give the altis a run for its $$$.... juz my 2 cents of thots lah..... maybe the sun still got some "shine" in the end lah.... the fact is with the current model, wat e-throttle, wat CCVT... dun think its helping the FC and engine at all.... juz some marketing gimmicks to show ppl tt this is "in fact" a new model.

Linus Clutched July 13, 2004 Share July 13, 2004 sianz right ? dunno wat they thinking. as long as they dun do anything to the engine, sales of sunny wont catch up with the altis/MZ3 in sg.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acemundo Supercharged July 13, 2004 Share July 13, 2004 yep... don't get me wrong....i always believe every dog has its day.....every car is strong in its own ways. to me, the nissan look is quite ok and prices have come down quite a bit, so its still worth considering.......the only silly billys are those that bot it say in 1999-2001 whereby sunny prices still comparable to corolla prices......these pple are shortchanged big time. yeah lah, the e-throttle thingie seems like all marketing crap.....nothing significantly better came out of it. but to me, it really doesn' make sense for 1.5 upgrade to 1.6 for the same model......FC might even be worst and u got a whole new loan to service......might as well wait till 2006 for the megane based sunny to be available Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverarrow Neutral Newbie July 13, 2004 Share July 13, 2004 sianz right ? dunno wat they thinking. as long as they dun do anything to the engine, sales of sunny wont catch up with the altis/MZ3 in sg.... Nissan's delay in launching a revised Sunny is puzzling. They did in fact display a production-ready Megane-based car, called the C-Note concept, in the 2003 Tokyo motor show. The following is an official press release from Nissan concerning the C-Note, with images attached below. Representing Nissan's proposal for a new compact car with superior quality, C-Note packs an array of comfort features into its compact body. Link: http://press.nissan-global.com/TOKYO_MOTOR...doc_c-note.html C-Note concept car offers a concentrated blend of comfort amenities. Comfort is provided by generous interior roominess that goes far beyond the size projected by its exterior appearance. Comfort features include the quality execution in the interior, as seen in the dashboard and seats, and the exceptional ease of everyday use, including nimble maneuverability and effortless ingress/egress. Meticulously selected materials and superior workmanship combine to create a premium-quality interior within a dynamic and active body form. 1. Class-leading interior comfort and roominess The tall overall height secures ample headroom, while both the front and rear seats have sufficient legroom for occupants to stretch out their legs in relaxed comfort. Such spaciousness ensures superb comfort for enjoying long touring. In general, vehicle occupants tend to feel a sense of unease if the distance between the front and rear seats exceeds a certain dimension. In C-Note, the front and rear seats are arranged at the right distance for maximum comfort and enjoyment. The roomy front seats are comparable to those of a large sedan, providing a relaxing and comfortable ride with minimal fatigue even on long drives. The rear seats fold down and have long tracks for sliding forward up to 240 mm, making it simple to create expansive luggage space on a par with a wagon. Front-seat occupants can easily access things placed on the rear seats, which contributes to greater convenience in everyday use. A large fold-down center armrest with a built-in tray for storage space is provided in both the front and rear seats. [/b]2. Comfortable interior of stellar quality[/b] Finished in a bright beige color, the interior is characterized by a refreshing openness. This basic color is coordinated with the accent panels that feature a modern texture, and the genuine leather seats are decorated with a perforated pattern. The attention paid to the execution of the fine details of the interior has resulted in stellar quality and comfort surpassing the normal levels of this vehicle class. Located in the center cluster is Nissan's newest IT interface along with a large 7-inch monitor. Besides providing outstanding operating ease and visibility, they also project a modern, high-quality atmosphere. The three large consecutive meters are simple in design and laid out for superior visibility. Each one is decorated with a ring that matches the overall fine quality of the interior. 3. Active exterior design for ease of use in everyday life The exterior is executed in an active, dynamic form. While the side windows are designed nearly upright to create a comfortable, roomy interior, the body lines leading to the front and rear lamps are dynamically rounded so that the overall form does not appear boxy. The high roof position and a suitable hip point that does not put any strain on the lower back combine to enable all occupants to enter and exit easily without any feeling of stress. Additionally, the dynamic treatment of the front and rear design also contributes to agile maneuverability for enhanced ease of use in everyday driving. The stylish gold body color projects a high-quality look that is appropriate for this modern compact car with superior quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(rem sch days benny wong used to drive the brown color hatch pulsar ?) but in MY, our sunny is their sentra loh.... maybe in JP, they retain the old name as Pulsar. one way to identify, the boot area in the pic is the same as our current sunny model. In Australia also known as Pulsar! Edited July 13, 2004 by DarkLord Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
