During the launch of the Nissan Livina. I get a bit briefing from the CEO of Nissan Datuk Ang about the new Bluebird. He said already got 10 bluebird testing in KL, only 2.0L will be sale in Malaysia.
I think they maybe take this model to fight against 2.0L Civic & Lancer. Sentra will be phased out, leaving this to replace? I think the current cefiro also need to replace wif a cheaper teana. Anyway Fuga is also coming in 2009, said by Datuk Ang himself…
If the price is right, the Bluebird should be a big seller as the interior space is more spacious than Camry while the fuel consumption is lot better… Hope that Bluebird Sylphy can beat Civic, Altis, Lancer and also Camry and Accord!
i doubt that the fact nissan can give honda and toyota a beating.
but however it doesnt hurt to eat up some share of theirs so that they can offer more value for money cars in the future.
just that somehow nissan tends to go overboard with their pricing and scare away potential customers.
they need branding 1st before commanding such high price…..which toyota can do that anytime.
you guys are sooo good. its like sneak here, there, etc. etc
skodeng people.hahhaahah..good pervert i must say.
now with ETCM bring this one, my father would be very crossed. why? because to him, Camry is the ultimate car for his retirement drive. and for all these weeks, only Civic and Accord have come up with somekind of 3 selection headache.
can someone convince me, why my father should think of this as another choice for his after 55 years old drive thing?
it looks good and luxury enough to me. apart from the tapes…and the bold rims..
Anyway, I like Nissan Grand Livina, plan to buy one. Good car at afforable price. 1.8L at RM 95K is high, compare to Indon selling at least RM 20K lower! Crap to you NAP!
I’ve seen this Nissan Slyphy in Singapore on the road before.
The body design is very nice actually and what i like most about this car is on the rear brake light, well design and advance.
I’d seriouly think they should chose some other model…like…hmmm… a Renaultsport 197…Sorry, it just doesn’t wag my tail. Maybe when I am 55, with dull senses and lost any glimmer of artistic taste in automobiles. Maybe. Who are they expecting to buy this?
I saw this comment during the Livina launch that they were concentrating on the other markets before coming for us; the Non Japan Asian market. Why doesn’t Ghosn admit that they were happy selling G35s/350Zs for the Americans and was hoping GM would jump into the Renault-Nissan bandwagon that we are only a flicker in the rearview mirror. We are an afterthought. So is it a wonder that we should give it a nanosecond of thought. Hmmm. Enough.
in usa, is a sentra with different front and tail, in singapore is sylphy. with the 2.0 and 1.5 engines. only japan call it bluebird sylphy. and the n16 sunny/sentra/pulsar still selling in lot of countries. i guess they will call it sylphy.
We see some of these cars from Singapore especially during the holidays. Looks OK but to be realistic it is more of a competitor to the civic 2.0/altis 1.8 rather than accord or camry.I find it hard to believe that the interior space can beat a camry(as mentioned by hyundai) which is as big as an E class and even bigger than a 5 series.
One more thing, let it be price a little bit higher than current Sentra. If the engine is 2.0L, and if they sell at around RM 100K++, it shall be very attractive.
Is not a bluebird replacement. taiwan called it bluebird sylphy same to japan. whereas china and singapore called it sylphy. us and canada called it sentra with different looks but same car.
I think the sylphy looks good and will provide welcome competition to national and non-national cars alike. It’s nice to see consumers getting more choices
