Looking at it as a restoration project, I would vote NP. It could be taken back to original relatively easily. Not for me, but I could see some 'Vette lover taking this one on. Wouldn't touch it for a flip, though. Without the original 327, you might not make a profit.

The CVT dislike is a preference thing, IMO. My wife drove an 09' Altima 2.5 SE with CVT for a couple years and I couldn't stand it. Also, the seats were uncomfortable after about 40 miles for me. Maybe they've gotten better, but we now have a 09' Highlander and I like the transmission in it better than the Altima we

If anyone is looking for a good laugh, go to Nissan's site and read through the page about the 2015 Murano. It is comedy gold!

Just checked Nissan's site to be sure, the 2014 Maxima, Murano, and Pathfinder all come with the 3.5L V6 standard, and optional on the Altima. All with the *expletive deleted* CVT as the ONLY transmission option, but you can get paddle shifters on some of the models!?!?! The 370Z is the only one that gets the 3.7L.

I dig the styling, but it will still have that whiny Nissan CVT, so meh. It's a damned shame b/c that 3.5L V6 is a great engine (I am guessing they will still have it). I would even be happy if they mated it to a dual clutch auto.

I'm missing 3, but I'll weight in before reading comments.

Please let it be IRS... I recently bought a 2012 Jetta TDI Sedan DSG (I know, I know). I don't care what the haters say, I liked the exterior styling from the beginning. I would only change two things: Make the brakes a bit better and ditch the straight axle rear end.

I nearly spit sunflower seeds all over my monitor! COTD nomination right here!

I want this truck badly! That engine/trans is unexpected! If you expect $19,500, you better at least finish the interior. I'd go for it at the Falcon's price. CP

These are training dragsters, of course, having automatic transmissions and somewhat less power than a real, grown-up dragster, but don't take that to mean that these cars are anything but real. They still are putting out about 550 HP from a massive LS engine right behind your head, and there's huge fat tires at the

NP for a good looking and functional Falcon with upgrades in the right places. Excellent palette cleanser after yesterday's abortion...

I love sleepers! If I didn't have a 100 mile round trip commute, I would DD this or a G8 GT!

Maybe I'm just overly optimistic, but it's good to see that some companies have a sense of history. I like the fact that they took the time to more or less write a farewell letter from a vehicle that was so much more to so many people. They could have just let it die unceremoniously like so many other vehicles have.

Martini and JPS and neck and neck for me. Martini is clean and bright where JPS is very Darth Vader. Then there's the green Martini livery. Some people might think I'm crazy, but I really like the red and blues over green.

I love the old JP Special liveries! All business, yet classy.

"brojustment period" I LOL'd!

This is hauntingly accurate. I love the Cardinals and Schlafly Beer, but these assholes make the rest of us look bad.

Captain America FTW! I think he has a thing with Harley, though...

Bond. James Bond...
