Q: New Nissan GT-R?
What do you think of the new Nissan GT-R…all opinions welcome
A: Great car hated it when it first came out as iam not a fan of the newer future look on all models of car atm.
But i said this on many cars when they come out over the years,but it has grown on me,its doesnt have the same looks as GTR’s in the past but iam sure it will earn new respect.
What do you think of it ? 
Q: What are your thoughts on the new Nissan GT-R?
A: first of all, to the guy that said this car won’t get you babes, i’ve already heard that once before from someone telling me that if i want to get girls to get a Z06 because the nissan won’t…WHO CARES…if you’re relying on a car to get girls, then you are a loser…i don’t want a GTR to get girls, i want a GTR to have a legendary vehicle and something exciting to drive every day…this car was a legend before it even began production…
my thoughts on this car is that for a first run, it’s doing quite well…it’s NOT underpowered, and the only reason it’s over priced is because of the dealer markup…going off the MSRP of $69k, it’s not overpriced at all…it weighs more than the Z06, and has performance that either matches or beats it stock for stock…it turned a 7:38 around the ring and look at the other vehicles around that laptime…and if anyone says to wait to see the ZR1 vette, well, yeah, ok that thing is gonna cost $100+k, and it’s guaranteed that the dealers will mark that up alot as well…
the GTR was not made to be beautiful or insanely fast…it was made to be functional, able to be driven however anyone wants to drive it, and it was made to beat the 911 Turbo at that time…whatever else it beats is just a gimmie…
i want one, and i don’t care what all the haters say
Q: how much does the new nissan GT-R get in gas mileage per gallon?
A: The 2010 Nissan GT-R Coupe 2WD gets 16 mpg city / 21 mpg highway according to AutoSite.com research.
Q: DO you like the new nissan GT-R?
I would like to hear your guys opinion about the new Nissan GTR.
The interior, exterior, price, performance and the brand image.
Do you think Nissan can overcome its brand image and sell GTR to American car lovers and Porsche lovers?
A: Not for the rumored $80,000. I don’t care how fast or how well it handles. I’ll laugh at anyone paying this kind of money for a Nissan.
Q: Is the gorgeous new Nissan GT-R a limited production car?
By this i mean, will they only produce them for a short period of time? DAMN!!! That car is HOT!!
A: Unfortunately yes. It IS a limited production car and is available on a first come first served basis as per GT-R’s website.

Q: did Top Gear Jeremy Clarkson test the new Nissan GT-R?
i keep checking for the video on youtube but havent found any. I know Fifth Gear did the test but their video is so boring. Im looking foward for Jeremy Clarkson’s review
A: As said the new GT-R hasn’t been tested on topgear TV format yet although i did read a while ago there was abit about it in the Topgear Magazine although this may not have been a review by Clarkson.
I did also hear, which i can imagine is true that it will feature in the new series,
I really must keep links to this info.
Fifth gear is alright but its the Clarkson way that makes any review great.

I do know that the G35 couple is ’sold’ as a ‘Skyline’ in Japan, but it is not, nearly as capable as the LEGENDARY R34, and so forth… I believe that’s why Nissan is marketing this as the GT-R, and not as the Skyline (maybe here in the U.S.) because they already have one in Japan (Infiniti G35 (now the G37))
A: Not sure of it yet but iam sure it will deff grow on me,i said the same thing about the R33 when it came out and now have one.

I think the price is right i was told around 70k
And yes the g35 is the Skyline also.

Good luck on your R34 great cars.,trying to get the wife to like them as we have had the r32 and the r33 but she wants an evo next.
Q: Is the new Nissan Skyline GT-R going to be legal in the U.S?
pretty self explanitory
A: Yes it is already legal in the U.S., last time I checked there were well over 600 already delivered to customers here in the states (but that was about two months ago).
Please do not listen to John Paul, he spreads false information on anything that is not related to mechanics. The only thing right about what he said is that the Skyline name was dropped. The reason the Skyline name was dropped was because the GT-R is not just an upgraded Skyline anymore (which is our G37 here in the states), it has it’s own platform and engine so they simply just call it the GT-R now. “imchrisiskate” said it correctly – GT-R DOES have a hyphen, if you don’t believe me John Paul then why don’t you look in an owner’s manual next time you service one or better yet it says so right on Nissan’s website.
Q: Who else wants to tell Nissan where to put there new GT-R?
After hearing US dealers will gouge the everloving life out of their customers on the new GT-R just because they can.
Well Chevy did the same with the Z06 when it came out and I won’t step foot in their showrooms despite having a product that drew me in for the first time in 20 years. Now they have Z06’s pilling up discounted 10% below MSRP.
Nissan, welcome to that same club. 2-3 years from now you will be in the same boat once the next great thing comes along. You haven’t made a compelling product in years but all the sudden your willing to turn people completely off from your brand to clean up on a realitively low production model?
A: What are you guys getting the new GT-R for in the US .
There are plenty being imported and bought here in the UK.So they must be selling.
Iam not sure of what you are going to be paying and a new v spec model is due out soon,so what price that will be going for also iam not sure.
But as a car overall all i have heard from my friends in Japan is what a great car it is and spec and money wise is well worth the price its selling for in the place i know off.
And it sounds like yes you could buy a corvette etc but its the idea of having something different i believe is what alot of US folks are saying.And speed wise isnt meant to be the fastest but one thing Nissan are good at is making tuneable engines.
Q: which would be faster the 2009 Nissan Gt-r or the new 2009 Corvette?
A: I own a shop, a drag car & truck, and this is what I think; You must be talking about the old Corvette because the new one is called a ZR-1. I have doubts the Nissan will hold a light to the new Corvette. 620 horses, and a much lighter body than the older ZO-6 Corvettes equals one mean machine. One can’t put this new Corvette in the same class as the ZO-6. The ZO-6 might have a hard time out performing the Nissan, but the new & improved Corvette is strictly a muscle car in every aspect, and was designed as an answer to all the cars such as the Nissan. It would be easy to turn the wick up on the supercharger in the new Corvette, and make in excess of 800 horsepower with a minimum of work, or parts for that matter. The outcome is still out on this race, but my money is on the Corvette. Power to weight ratio is much better on the Corvette due to the carbon fiber parts on it, so I don’t think the Nissan will stay with it without many modifications, and then it still might not. Point A to point B, or a road race either one, the Corvette should stand alone this time.
Glad to help out, Good Luck!!!
Q: 2009 Nissan GT-R is a hot new car but answer this car fanatics…?
does it break down like the 350z? the 350z may have a popular figure on its hands but it has been passed around that simple interior parts and what not are cheap and tend to break or not last long. is that the same with the GT-R?
A: well it all depends upon how the owner maintains his car.
Q: Nissan GT-R, thumbs up or down?
So this new Nissan GT-R does 0-60 in 3.5 seconds. Supposed to be faster than Porsches, Corvettes and Vipers. But it’s priced at $70,000. Will you really spend that much for a Nissan? Will it be a hit in the United States? Personally, I’d rather be in a slower Porsche, Corvette or Viper. Those cars have that reputation for being fast. This Nissan GT-R looks like a newer version of the 350z. It doesn’t have that sex appeal like those super cars. You look at a Viper or Corvette and you know it’s fast. Porsche also has that reputation. But if I see a GT-R, I would probably just say “wow that’s car is fast…” then I’d move on. If I see a Viper, I’d say “HOLY SHIT, THAT CAR IS FAST!!!” It’s that super car sex appeal. GT-Rs aren’t sexy and I wouldn’t spend $70,000 for a Nissan. How about you…
It’s not about hating it’s about it being a Nissan. You can buy a Corvette, Viper or Porsche for $70,000. Why would I want to spend it on a NIssan. I know the whole “Skyline GT-R” history and it wasn’t big in the US. I personally think the GT-R is going to fail in the United States. Even now, what do you see more of, $42,000 EVOs and STIs or $42,000 BMWs and Mercedes. You can buy a BMW just as fast as an EVO for the same price, so why buy the EVO? You have luxury and class with BMW. I think this GT-R is gonna be a failure in the US.
A: AMEN
no way, no how is Nissan gonna get 70K for an unsexy bullet.
maybe in japan. not in my hood.
Q: Doesn’t the new Scion TC look like the nissan gt-r?….?
