Hmmmmm, well when you said we should be comparing the SE-R and Spec V Sentras to the higher end Mazda3, HOW did you propose we do that for cars that nobody knows about?
 
Well, you did not know about them.........however, the major details of the SE-R and Spec V Sentra 07's have been released and known for the over 6 months.
  
BTW - before I made my last post I checked here at Edmunds for the 2007 Sentra (nope, they don't list the SE-R or Spec V models for '07) as well as under the "Future Cars" section.
 
2007's are not really "future" cars, are they?
  
If you'd like to compare the '07 Sentra SE-R and Spec V to the upper-end Mazda3, go right ahead........
 
I will later this month.

He had better keep in mind that the "upper" Mazda3 is now the Mazdaspeed3.
 
Personally, I do not see much comparison between the Sentra SE-R Spec V and the Mazdaspeed3 until I see official data from Nissan.

If the Spec V is priced near the $22,835 base price of the MazdaSpeed 3, then that would be the most relevant comparison.
IMO, all trim levels of the Sentra are overpriced, and if the Spec V does approch $23,000....it is going to be found lacking compared to the M'Speed 3.

I have been unable to really find anything on the 07 SE-R Spec V. Have you seen any official info? If so, where can I find it?

All I have been able to find is that the car will be debuting at the LA Auto Show later this month....numerous sites stating "....the SE-R Spec V will have more power then it's predesessor..."

Yep; that's about all I've been able to find out as well.
 
I'm still trying to find out what 'major details' about the upcoming car were released 6 months ago....

It will be interesting to see how this stacks up against the Civic Si and VW GTI

agreed. it seems like it should be able to keep up with the gti, given its amount of torque, and it may even leave the si behind because of that same reason, although i think the civic will still out handle both vehicles.
