As you know Toyota and Subaru are working together on an affordable sports car that will debut in 2010 and will be built in two different versions for both companies. Nissan is also working on a successor for the 240SX. Set to be revealed in 2010 as a 2011 model, the future Nissan will be a serious competitor for the "Toyotabaru".

The 240SX successor (name is still unknown) will have the same size as the the 370Z, sharing the same wheelbase of 104.3 in. Overall length is rumored to be 171 in., and will come in 4-seat/2+2 form.

Under the hood there will be the well known 2.0-liter inline-4 engine, but rumors say Nissan will also use one with about 1.5 to 1.6 liters of displacement, complete with a small turbocharger. This small engine, equipped with VCR PCS, can produce up to 225 bhp.

Price is expected to be around $20,000.
