Yep. Coming to NA in spring 2008. It is being released in Japan in the fall of this year. It looks like the 80-90% of vehicle being shown at the Tokyo 2007 auto show will be in the production version.

Nissan has confirmed that North America will get the same powertrain as the rest of the world, rumored to be a twin-turbo, 450-horse, 3.7-liter V-6 (there was talk our market only would get a 4.5-liter V-8)

Now we will have to see if this will pass Canadian DoT Standards.

I would like an S15 as well. They are pretty nice. But the chances of that happening are very very slim. But you could always pick one up in about 8 years
Canadian DoT regulations are far too tight. We always get water-downed versions of cars.
We may not even be getting the Evo X. I guess it all depends on where they put the intercooler. Or at least brace the front bumper to the frame more.
