By every account the Nissan GTR IMO was ugly.

Until I walked up on it at the car show this morning

Pictures do not do this car any justice. You gotta see it for yourself.

What a beauty. I'll have to go back tomorrow to take pictures of it and the M.E. Four Twelve

That is all.

 

 

what!!! no pix BOOOOOOOO

 

I'll get some tomorrow.

 

Dude, he just said pictures do it no justice and that you need to see it in person.

How do pictures help again?

 

Chrysler is still showing off the M.E Four Twelve? I thought they put that down a long time ago...

 

I'll be pissed if they don't have at least one GTR at our SD show at the end of the month.

 

no pics? why is there a thread!

 

i was at the boston auto show here are pics of the GTR!!!

 

for all the picture whores

 

... and like I said before, the GT-R is like the Grand Canyon. You just gotta be there.

 

Looks like sex on wheels for sure, esp that rear. But man, what went wrong with the interior? Looks like it should be in the Nissan Titan rather than their premier sports car! Might just be the center console and gauge box throwing everything off? Something about it just doesn't fit with the car though...

 

Uhhh, who ever thought it looked ugly in pictures besides you? Since the first picture I saw of it I thought it was beautiful.

 

I've never really liked it . . . still don't think that it is anywhere near anything that could be remotley called beautiful.

 

That is really a beautiful machine...I keep drooling all over it endlessly.

 

sweet automatic...

 

forget the GTR....lets see some pix of the chic in ur avatar

 

The GTR body style is nothing special to me, my personal choise. But the performance of the GTR is beautiful

 

+1. I really need to see it in person...

 

I gotta say most people think this... me being one. Even most magazine articles will say something about how the car looks much better in person.

 

I think it looks bad ass in pics, can't even imagine it in real life...I think i'd just faint for a second or two.

 

Thought I'd throw up another GT-R auto show pic for good measure. Saw this last Sat. at the SF Auto Show. Like everyone says, it looks way more badass in person than in pics. Got a couple of free posters and a Nissan brochure, so that was cool and unexpected.

 

I know I should be amazed and impressed...but I'm just not. Would still rather have a porsche.

 

 

it's because it is in silver. if the GT-R displayed was in a darker color it would look way better.

 

Tough choice though. I'm looking at an 07 c2s meteor grey with 3000 miles on it for 77 K, original sticker price was 93 K. I can also put a deposit down to be first in line for a gtr when it debuts in June 08, suggested sticker price according to dealership is 69 to 72 K. Who knows if they will mark it up like when the nsx debuted? Plus I have no choice on color, trim, etc, pretty much gotta take what I get. Only 4 to 6 gtrs coming to dealership over an 18 month period. Apparently nissan is only manufacturing 1500 for u.s. export.

I found it interesting that a given nissan dealership needs to pony up 25 K to nissan japan to be eligible to sell the gtr. Plus they need to have a "master technician" whatever that means. My biggest fear would be having some dude that takes care of sentras handling my gtr with it's all new chasis and transmission. "Front mounted engine and rear mounted transmission with double driveshafts and plasma-lined cylinders? Let me check the manual, lol"

 

I too went to the Austin auto show this weekend. The moment I stepped through the doors onto the showroom floor and saw that snarling face of the GTR, my mouth dropped. What a sexy machine. It was worth the $5 admission just to see the GTR in person.
Picked up a poster of it which is now hanging in my room.

Oh, and the M-E Four Twelve was nice too.
