Nissan has just revealed the latest Sylphy, and while it’s a model we don’t get in North America, it’s closely related to our Sentra and it could preview the styling of the next-gen compact sedan. Compared to the outgoing Sentra, it seems as though Nissan is changing up its styling quite a bit to punch in above its weight, competing with more luxurious brands. Out with the fat, eyebrowed headlights and generic tail lights, in with slimmer bodywork and mature styling. Nissan’s V-motion’ front grille looks good here, as well as the floating C-pillar, lending to a fastback-like trunk treatment. Sculpted haunches give the Sylphy the appearance of a lower beltline, and the front lip makes it look rather sporty. Under the hood of the Sentra will likely be Nissan’s 141-horsepower, 2.0-litre inline-four from the Rogue, as well as a CVT. It doesn’t sound like much — until you take into consideration that the base 1.8-litre inline-four in the outgoing Sentra only makes 130 horsepower. The 188-horsepower, 1.6-litre turbo-four from the Sentra SR Turbo and Nismo models could also return, hooked up to a six-speed manual.

According to Car and Driver, Audi Sport’s research and development chief Oliver Hoffmann says some of its new products are going to be heading to North America. We are preparing for the biggest product offensive we ever had, he said. We will also see a new RS Q8, plus the next-generation RS7 Sportback. However, the big news here is that RS6 Avant. Audi pulled its wagons from the North American market after the C5 generation and didn’t offer the vehicles for lack of interest. That is all changing, however, with the North American market starting to turn onto wagons once again, and Audi is willing to place its bets the Avant will stand out amongst all the CUV craziness. The U.S. market is increasingly interested in real station wagons like the RS6 Avant, Hoffman adds. Therefore, it is entirely possible that we will bring it back to North America. Currently, European market versions of the fast-brake makes up to 553 horsepower from its 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8. The closest thing we’ve gotten to the latest generation of RS6 Avant has been the RS7 Sportback, which shares a lot of the DNA.
