Here it is, the FRS entry level 130hp, hopefully 2,200lbs and RWD homage to the 800.  Not coming to the US as well.

Are these to compete with the Honda S-series?

IDX was already canned.  Probably better that they did can it and probably not a good idea to call a Nissan Juke a Z car.  I'm pretty upset about the idx as the NA CEO was talking mad smack about the FRS being a middle age crisis car and yet they don't even have one.

Except it'll run, be cheaper to purchase, own, maintain and be much more reliable.

Reason why alot of those little cars wont come here is becuase the market here demands big cars, little cars like this in america won't sell well. 

Where as in japan, it definately will sell well becuase their market due to how their country is structured demands small cars.  They are taxed according to engine size as well.

It wouldn't sell well here.  The FRS/BRZ sales have been good but has slowed down.  This would only eat into their market. 

Everywhere else in the world, smaller cars are generally heralded as a compromise between price, taxes, insurance, licenses, tax breaks, fun, etc.  I love me some Kei car, hot hatch, tiny clown car competition.

What a pile of shit.  I saw a few reviews on the S660 too and they are slow.  I guess for the slow consumers its cool. The cruisers that like the old MG Midgets and Split Fire.

Guys who always complaining about power is compensating for lack of [       ]. This video explains it all.
