Is this with the bluebird name or sentra replacement model?
I saw this model with S’pore plate few month ago and it already in the Taiwan market quite some time.
The rear looks like abang-adik to new Elantra..haha…

Bluebird (without the Sylphy) has been a branding for Nissan/Datsun’s compact medium-sized sedans since the 1960s..

Bluebird Sylphy is probably a marketing strategy to cover a bigger range of segments in the market…

Have seen some Singaporean plates on the highway.. they certainly dont look bad.. but definitely will catch your attention bcos of the not so common shape..

“whats the point of maing it so secretive, thereâ€™s biliions of it already in spore”

the keyword is singapore. this is malaysia. just because its an older model, its still new to malaysia, and like it or not, its business and marketing, and you wouldnt want your rivals to know what you’re bringing in before you launch it would you? unless of course you know the car doesnt compete with anything thats already in the market.

no point complaining about the high car prices. its a fact of life here. we can only that in future, car prices will come down. but by then, we’d be too busy complaining about toll and petrol prices than anything else i think.

The headlight is resemble the headlight of Infinity G35 sedan, I will think G35 sedan get the idea from this car. Btw, I have read some article about the interior space of this nissan sylphy, it has the big interior space on its class, I think it is its rear passager leg room…

wth, why always malaysian need to pay high price for such car.
RM100k+ is too big for average income earner.
until when we can buy a sentra at 50k and camry at 90k
that should be the correct price not like now 100k and 160k respectively.

Nothing new, this model is all over in S’pore and Taiwan.

Btw, this car aimed at females execs kah? Didn’t know that. Btw the name if translated into hokkien will sound very interesting.

At last TCM bring back the Bluebird back to Malaysia.

I remember my old first car Nissan Bluebird U11, very wide and good in handling. Engine also not bad….and the good thing the fuel comsumption is as same as Saga 1.5 when this car engine displacement is 1.8. Used to be hot with CA18DET&SR20DET conversion…and the good thing about this car it’s always come with multi-link rear suspension, not like sentra that changed from multi-link to torsion beam.

I believe this car could be competitor to Honda Civic, or even low range Accord, if not by the sale maybe to the boy-racer…hehe..

This is a Nissan Bluebird Sylphy in Brunei. Popular among ladies here. It’s in the price range of Mazda 3(B$29k) and Nissan Latio(B$28k) ..around B$29,000 to $32,000 which depends on their specs and transmission.

Tan Chong seems always to react to competitors, rather that make the first move. The Latio came long after the introduction of the Vios and the Honda City. The Camry and Accords have been launched and replaced and yet Nissan is still stuck with the Cefiro, and have the cheek to sell the Teanna at more than 200k (imported). The CRV is way ahead of the Xtrail, although at one time the Xtrail was the market leader. In the pick up category everyone else have an auto transmission version, but Tan Chong sells only the manual ones.
TC, you’d better wake up!

After reading this article, I kill my passion for this car :

Dec. 21–TOKYO — Nissan Motor Co. rolled out the new Bluebird Sylphy on Wednesday targeting mainly design-savvy, mature women who are often seen as having the final say in choosing new family cars.

Seeing the saturated domestic car market and the need to develop a new segment of customers, Nissan has developed the new midsize sedan with features that will appeal to women in their 40s — a curvy design, storage space and a rear compartment with ample legroom.

It is somewhat unusual for a sedan to target female consumers, but “the vehicle will be fun to drive for men as …

I bet those Japanese tourists will laugh when they see me inside the car trying to impersonate a 40 something old lady.

Much taller car than the Vios. Don’t think the interior is any smaller than the vios. Vios have never had an interior that its owners appreciate as much as the owners of the City.

Not that old dude. Check ya fact, this G11 launched late 2005, a year after Latio. If Nissan dare to price it around Civic 2.0l l guess many will shy away from it. Maybe 1.8 or 2.0 diesel or at least 1.5 dCi with higher torque than 200Nm will do for it.

This car is Nissan Slyphy in Singapore.
comes with 1.5 and 2.0 variants
i feel 2.0 is more appropriate as the chassis is designed for higher CC engine
both have luxury features like keyless entry and auto adjust seats
in singapore this is another intermediate model for latio and cefiro.
price for 1.5 is S$ 79k and 2.0 is S$90k ( as guide)
currently there is a new ‘dynamic series 3′ launched in SG where full bodykit is inclusive. think this model is to compete with the new lancer launch in SG which is also comes with 1.5 and 2.0 variants.
