There have been rumors circling the interweb for some time regarding Nissan’s plans to bring back the much loved, much missed Silvia/240sx. There seems to be some some evidence to support these rumors too! Now, a website known as Rocket Punch Auto Blog claims to be in the know. Rocket Punch is saying that a new Silvia has gotten the green light by Nissan execs, and will make production by 2010 with a price point between ¥2,000,000 and 2,500,000 (Which roughly equates to $18,435 and 23,044 USD).

This is good news. A rear wheel drive, performance oriented yet low cost sports car is exactly what the market is missing. The word on the street as for the Silvia and 240sx is that it will be based on a shortened 350z platform, likely powered by a Renault engine.

Oh, it should be noted that the above images are just artist renderings, and not officially sourced by Nissan.

Sweet. Give us your thoughts.
