Pretty much.

Whether they admit it or not, there are some people with a prejudice towards anything not american or german.

Fully loaded Accord V6 will blow the doors off the 328 --> so the 328 should be cheaper? So woulld Mazdaspeed and so on...
Your thinking is so flawed...

Anyway, my comment was not about the engine and performance but the exterior/interior and the look over time...

Anyone know a dealer selling one for sticker?

I'll pay 75k right now, but it's not happening in my state for a few years.

If it was badged as an Infiniti everyone who is complaining would probably shut up. Just because its badged as a Nissan makes it no less of a supercar.

This obviously proves that the people who are complaining are badgewhores.

Same thing happened with the VW Phaeton. Nobody wanted to pay 70g for a truly awesome car when they could pay 10-15g more just for the Audi rings on an A8.

Too bad for them its not going to come out as a dual model (Nissan/Infiniti).

Put up or shut up, this car is pretty awesome.

I honestly think the reason people are talking so much shit is because they want the GT-R but they can't afford it. Which a lot of people can't. We should still be able to admire what Nissan has created here.

I THINK I have found one. Have not heard back from him.
I do like people to admire my car. The Z06 is an awesome car but I see them all the time in Dallas. This car would have that WOW factor for the term I would lease it. Comparing cars I can afford and not having to eat bean sandwiches every day. My .045 cents.

+1 I would not be surprised to see it selling for a cool $100K here in the States, at least for a while.

Oh, and I, too, can't wait to see one on the road.

Not that it's a choice I can make, but if someone offered me "any" $100K car, I'd choose an R8 over a GT-R, though. Slower, yes, but so f-ing cool.

I want this stupid car :sad0147: ! It unbeatable. Its ugly in that way that says "f__k you, yes I am an ugly bastard but I am sooo faaassst,"

I have a genuine lust for it and I am ashamed. I am tempted to something drastic to get one. The only thing holding me back is that I am too good looking and fit to go to jail and I would probably make a lot of friends there...
