I know that thing is pretty radical, and the "newest" toy on the block. But its styling is just too "Japanese Industrial" looking for me.
I'd rather show up a 1/2 a second late to the party in a "better lookin" Viper GTS.

I've seen it in person, and it looks alot better than it does in pictures. It still isn't pretty in person, but it's better. I don't like the looks of it either, but I can't take anything else away from it. Just wait till the optional paint becomes available that you can change from white, to black, to red, blue with the touch of a button... I don't know how that is possible, but it's going to be a $4,000 option. It works off some kind of LCD technology I think...

Wow the new Nissan GTblah sure has the numbers. Gee I better race out and buy one - NOT.
I really thought they would have done something a little more imaginative with the styling - but oh no just a boring old "face lift" look - zzzzzzzzzzzzz . Oh well I guess it will appeal to some people out there - but I do not expect it will turn as many heads as my X-fire. Give it a few years and they will be worthless over here - you will pick them up second hand for not too much change compared to the current new price - just another rice burner LOL. Too many gadgets and not enough soul

Pretty soon all the cars will be like this. You have to think old school like it would be sweet to have a cuda and go crazy lime green to crazy plum with a push of a button. http://uk.gizmodo.com/2007/11/09/nis...or_changi.html

boring ricer.., but anyways I am happy with it's performance numbers as it will now require the top manufacturers to up thiers... is it just me.. or do Jap cars appear bland and souless.. I mean sure the young group is going to be heavily interested in this car, but that is about it.. thanks Ill keep my crossfire for now and when I can afford to pay 70k for a car it sure as hell won't be a Nissan...

I'd hate to have bought a Z06 and get killed by that thing. I like the car

Looks like the 2 door altima, not a $70k car. The technology is there though.

I agree. I think it looks like a cross between the new eclipse(front) and the altima's(back). Not a good thing. I HATE the look of the eclipses.....

I don't think it looks too bad...but I've been known to look for what's inside (that's what counts, right?). 3.3 0-60 is impressive whether it is a Nissan or a Shopping Cart.

Of course, the only part that we'll be seeing is the rear taillights - which are quite R32-esque. I'm glad the kept a few Skyline styling lines on it.

If the Viper or Z06 had all wheel drive they would destroy it.

I'd rather have one of used SL55 AMG's in my area for $70K. Much nicer looking and has a little performance(?) The launch technology on the GTR is interesting.

Quick from a dig maybe, but that just means a Z06 would be pulling on it HARD at the 1/4 mark.

Launching is a test of tires and drivetrain componants. 40 to 100 is a better measure of power and more useful on everything but a drag strip.

I wonder how the GTR stacks up against a Z06 on a roadcourse.

^ Actually, she'd be a wrinkly old tranny. Quite different than an AWD Viper in every sense.
