Yes, It Has

Has MyVegas Hit Rock Bottom?

We’ve featured a lot of stories about MyVegas, some good and some bad. Even though the games are a great way to kill some time and rack of comps and rewards, there always seems to be a number of issues associated with it.

Editor's note: The 3 rewards per visit, not day, PER VISIT is a horrible rule. If you are in town for 3 days and 2 nights, that limits you to 1 reward per day. On top of that, you have to be very selective about which reward you choose. As a consumer, wouldn't you like to have the freedom of 3 per day? I'm ok with limiting the use of a reward to the resort you are staying at, but allowing 3 reward claims per day would open up our wallets more at the resort. Or it use to, as I haven't visited Las Vegas in quite some time, and my Mlife tier level has dropped from Gold to Pearl, and will downgrading to Sapphire in October.

The Sport Compact Car Market Keeps Getting Smaller & Smaller

Nissan IDx definitely dead, but new Juke will be ‘innovative and exciting’

Nissan has ‘no plans to produce’ the sporty, retro IDx coupe, according to the company’s chief creative officer, Shiro Nakamura, speaking to evo at the Le Mans 24 Hours.

First presented at the 2013 Tokyo motor show, the IDx was unveiled in two forms – a high-performance Nismo version and a more relaxed, classically-styled IDx Freeflow concept.

Each was resolutely modern in its surfacing and details, but both had stylistic echoes of some of the firm’s most popular historic models, including the Datsun 510 and first-generation KPGC10 Nissan Skyline GT-R.

It took the form of a four-seat, rear-wheel drive, two-door coupe, powered by compact turbocharged engines and in concept form at least, equipped with a continuously variable transmission. Reception was mixed, but the prospect of a rival to Toyota’s GT86 and the Subaru BRZ was more than welcome.

Unfortunately, it appears that issues beyond just cost have put such a car on the backburner. In addition to the price point problems hinted at by Nissan’s Pierre Loing last year, Nakamura hints that the IDx’s unusual style doesn’t quite sit with the company’s design direction.
