that shit is hot, this isnt my first time seeing the DATSUN XLINK but every time i do see it, it makes me want to finish my DATSUN designs and yes that means the DATSUN 510, DATSUN 620, and an other one i call th DATSUN JASMELDY i named it after a girl im friends with in school. my DATSUN 510 designs dont look any thing like the nissan pure, they actully look like the original DATSUN 510 but would have a twin turbo V6 intercooled motor making 510 horsper right from the factory, and i agree with carl who wants a scion any more.

Personally, I’d be OK with the styling for 2010. Make it 1200cc, 110HP and less than 2000lbs – that sells pretty well equipped for $11,995.00 (and actually sells for that!!). Make it rear wheel drive, with a typical DATSUN bulletproof engine and drive train… 21mpg in town and 38 on the highway.

Build a lot of Customer VALUE into it – and yes, it would be a modern DATSUN. Of course it would have to be sold through a NEW Dealer Chain where the new Authorized Dealers were real car people and hungry to build a successful dealership. Dealers that actually own and operate their Dealerships and actually deal day to day, face to face with their customers… Yep – you couldn’t build them fast enough.

Send it to your typical Nissan Dealer – and it would represent another FLOP… they want to sell $35K Maxima’s now, or $32K Pickup’s… At $12K they would let the little car sit on the back lot.. or blow you out the doors if you came in and ask for one..

DATSUN was about 25% the actual cars/trucks, 50% the Authorized Dealers and their Service/Parts Departments and 25% DATSUN USA. The people at DATSUN actually listened to their Customers and delivered the high quality cars/trucks they wanted to buy – at prices they could afford. Every Datsun had a large dose of Customer Value… Something that seems to have been all but completely lost in todays market….

As the standard of living of middle class America, goes steadily downward – the need for low priced new cars will grow here. Toyota was very wise to start their low priced brand – and Nissan has a huge advantage in the DATSUN Brand Name… who ever actually wants to buy a Sicon?… Every car nut would love to have a new DATSUN.. even if for their kids..

But it wasn’t just the cars….

I totally agree with john, as one of the “fanatical” ( and I take it in a good way) Datsun owners I think they should resurrect the name. But like everyone else I don’t this is the car to do it. As I stated in another post how about a retro version of the 510. It would be cheap fun alternative to the Z, with back seats to boot. I just hope they wouldn’t screw it up and turn it into another Xa, Aveo, Versa, space jellybean look-a-like
