right now the si looks less like a concept and more like a production.
Exterior: Si cause im sick of nissans new styling (front grill especially)
Interior: Azeal cause Si has none!

Rep Power: 400 Yeah the azeal doesn't look like much more than a concept, where the Si is 90% complete and is about as close to production as a concept can get.

Rep Power: 400 i doubt the azeal is going to get 250-300hp. it would be dumb of them to make a cheaper coupe that could outrun their flagship 350Z.
He he, I'm starting to see some nice Si sigs.
IMO, the new Si is without a doubt the most sporty, agressive & stylish looking of the competition.
Even though I dislike the a/c vents on the Azeal, Nissan has a very nice interior. I think HONDA will have to really work on the Si's interior, but then again, H always represents!

Rep Power: 0 I would take neither I find both kinda ugly and the Azeal won't have that power Nissan already said they were cutting it back because of there new flagship. The G35 GTR also known as the Skyline. That way they can compete with the New Supra and its 500hp.

Rep Power: 0 The Si looks better, but if Nissan actually introduces a 2.5L FI engine its going to be the SR20 all over again with people notching the boost up to god only knows what.
It'd be good competition for the SRT-4 and other similarly boosted cars. Frankly, and I don't know who will agree w. me and who won't, 200hp just isn't a lot nowadays. With SRT-4s and Cobalts putting down higer numbers w.out needing to rev high, NA or not and Nissan putting faster and faster engines into it's cars and hell, even Toyota putting a factory/TRD supercharger on it's tC 200HP is just making the bar.
Compared to the D-series in the Civic that responds like bollocks to most every mod, a 200HP car is welcome and I'm sure it'll respond great to aftermarket boost, but why can't it just come from the factory that way?

Also it's easier to say "boost a car", than to actually do it. Lot of R&D work, time, effort. Plus honda is not known for turbo... there all motor, REV HIGH cars. Your right thou, it's not competition for the sI more cobalt, srt4, tC, but when they both come out people will compare the 2, since they look awfully close. Im exepecting the azeal have between 210-230hp and, be priced about 18-20k.
IMO: F/I > All Motor... you can only go so far w/ all motor, w/ boost crank it up, or build up internals... than crank it up.
