I just noticed he had a BMW and two Ferrari badges "X" out, like he had street kills. LOL! I am sorry this car is a total fail, after seeing that! LOL!

making all of them automatic = ultimate fail

i thought the point of driving a sports car was to have something fun and engaging to drive. something that was a challenge... something that makes you a better driver.

that car is bling, and nothing else. i'm sure it's fast and it handles great but i just think that manufacturers need to shy away from heated seats and paddle shifters and make sports cars engaging and simple again.

as far as money goes... can i afford $600 a month for a prim and proper faux supercar with all the trimmings? probably. barely.

do i want to? hell no. that's a poor financial decision, at the very least.

i have the same problem with exotics. they're just fast luxury cars now. and that's all this car is.

if i wanted to drive the fastest car i could afford, i wouldn't have bought my 8.

I see where you're coming from but a close look at the past reveals the GT-R has always stood for the latest in car technology and the R35 is simply upholding and evolving that concept. You either want that or you don't - doesn't make the car any less capable. On the other end of the scale Nissan offers the Z car which is your more traditional, basic, do-it-yourself, RWD manual shift sports car.
