Back to the Sentra, the spec does tell alot about the car in this class. It might not tell you how the car handle, but it does tell you how well equipped it is.

Interestingly enough, besides the obligatory six-speed manual the SE-R could still offer a CVT automatic, probably the same Xtronic unit used on the Murano crossover SUV.
The current Se-r already uses the Alt engine which has variable valve timing. I think they will have to do to much to get it to 200bhp (Se-r's with all bolt- ons and ecu are barely at that). Hopefully they will turbo the engine that will come in the new Sentra for the Se-r version. 200bhp won't be enough for 2007, all other competitors have more than that, except the Civic Si.
