When the now-redesigned Nissan 240SX rolled off the assembly line last summer, we were surprised by the transformation it had undergone. This new version blurs the fine line between sports cars and upmarket vehicles because Nissan has downplayed this car's racier lineage in favor of a more genteel and understated design. All of this has been at the service of folks who favor graceful styling over road-burning performance, but who see themselves as too young to retire to a stately sedan. In short, the 240SX has been tweaked to cater to the changing values of the baby boomer generation - the first wave of which is now approaching the age of 50.
To that end, Nissan engineers have designed a more rigid body structure, extended the track and enhanced the suspension of the 240SX to ensure a more comfortable ride, easier handling and improved stability. Low to midrange torque has been increased to allow for smoother acceleration, and the suspension contact points have been made more compliant to reduce noise.Click here to read more
