Re: Nissan to sell next sporty GTR globally

Here but it will need to be merged with the 1000 other threads we have about the GTR. Plus this is not exactly new news.

Nissan Skyline GT-R coming to U.S., but not until ’07
By MARK VAUGHN
NISSAN CHIEF CARLOS Ghosn confirms the Skyline GT-R will debut at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2007, with customer sales starting soon after that. The car will make “around 400 hp” and offer “top-level driving performance.”
Video game fans on these shores who have long enjoyed the high-speed thrills of the GT-R will have a chance to drive it (so long as they can pony up the cash). Ghosn says the car will be sold here.
Sure, but why the long wait? Well, it’s not as bad as the first proposal, which was for a 2008 or 2009 GT-R launch. And, if you haven’t noticed, Nissan has been working on a lot of other products lately—and doing a pretty good job with them, too—so there weren’t spare engineers to toil away on a fairly low-volume supercar. At one point, the company was looking for a partner to help share development of the GT-R, but could not find one with whom it was happy.
Ghosn says the GT-R will offer “top performance worldwide, not just compared to our cars.
“If you look at a car and think it’s a tiger, you’re not going to be happy if you get in and drive it and it’s a cat,” Ghosn explains.
Ghosn says the price will be relatively reasonable: “You won’t have the feeling you’re being ripped off.”
That’s still kind of vague, but it sounds like the GT-R will not be another half-million-dollar Enzo/SLR/Carrera GT supercar, at least not in the finance department.
The exterior will probably not look like the concept car shown at Tokyo two years ago, either, though the decision on which of many design proposals submitted has not been made.

Okay. I get it, Nissan. You got it right when you designed the new Fairlady (350z). I think that design looks great. Now its time to grow up, and GET SOME DIFFERENT STYLING CUES FOR YOUR CARS.
All of Nissan's line looks like modified versions of the 350z.

Car News briefs: GT-R has 911 specs, Nissan price; Lexus SportDesign, part IV
By AUTOWEEK
911 specs, Nissan price
We’ve already told you Nissan chief Carlos Ghosn has promised the return of the Skyline GT-R at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show, followed by worldwide sales—United States included (AW, Nov. 3, 2003). Ghosn has said development time for a globally competitive car explains why the car won’t appear until then, but now he has narrowed the field of sports cars to a key benchmark for the next GT-R: Porsche’s 911. “It has really good performance” while having an affordable price tag, says Ghosn.
