Ugly shmugly, the only thing you will ever see anyways is its ass leaving you in the dust, and that makes it very very sexy.

I can see the ass of a 911 or Ferrari leaving me in the dust, too...difference is, they look good. Just because an ugly girl with have sex with you doesn't make her less ugly/look good, just like a car being able to smoke you doesn't make it cool/look good.

mhmm. I wonder how do 911 and Ferrari owners feel when they see the ass of the GT-R leaving them in the dust

I've always been amazed at how divided people are on the looks of the GT-R, I think they look great (even better pre-facelift), but many people think they look like

I never knew this was the case with the GT-R. It's kind of like the Porsche Panamera. I think they both look great.

That's quite the conundrum. The GT-R has one sexy rear, while everything on the Panamera looks great except for the rear (which is god awful IMO). I have seen both cars more times than I can remember and still feel the same

Slap the GT-R rear on the Panamera and vice versa, problem solved!!

oh snap, just on schedule, my every other post talking about how ugly the GT-R is!

Just read through all the pages...Good stuff here. Congrats to the OP, and sorry that you had to go through all this to get what you won fair and square. On a side note, at the price you purchased it for, it truly is a steal.

Good Luck!

My thing is that I do not find it ugly... but I do not quite find it attractive either. Whenever I see one I stare at it... but something's just not right. I think it's the bloated look it has. Certain angles it's hot, others it's . To build on Jack's female analogy... probably a 6-packer and I'd take it home

Wow, the OP is 21 years young and has the chance to be owning the streets in this beautiful beast! When I was that age, I was limping around town in a Volkswagen.

Let's put it this way....(as evidenced in this thread):

The GTR design is polarizing at best.

The blue one in the picture I linked is the "Black Edition"; different wheels.

BTW, I like the wheels on that red one better.

after seeing several at Local meets and a few Cars and Coffee shows..
the atmosphere surrounding the car never reflects the likes of a thread like this..

everyone crowds around them and oo's and ah's at its existence...
and this is all with porche's and ferraris in attendance..

even if a FEW select people didnt care for the looks, i've never heard it mentioned when being in its presence...

but even if you dont like the car, you have to respect it for what it is... and people do just that.

I fking love everything about GT-R.

IMO, it looks pretty damn stunning in person, not that it looks any wrong in the pictures.

It may be ulgy to others, like you, but IMO it's way better looking than 99% of the Porsches. Every time I look at a Porsche, it reminds me of tadpoles and frogs! The GTR is "in your face" design.

OP better post some pics when it's in his garage or all of this effort from the web will be a waste!

Just read through all the pages and comments and all I have to say is WOW. What a read. Glad to see the OP ended up getting the car in the end and i would DEFINITLY have the car inspected by a team of master techs at at least 3 different locations. I honestly dont see the dealership not doing something to this car.

I am no longer astonished by this behavior. Dealerships are exceedingly short-sighted, especially when it comes to sales and they somehow fail to grasp that a small loss here won't keep you from making big bucks in the future. But when you try to fuck someone over and the Internet finds out about it, you're screwed. I can virtually guarantee that anyone who reads about this won't be visiting that particular dealer to buy their next Honda.

Congrats to the OP on buying the one car I want to drive before I die. And on the plate idea!

I don't really agree with the comment that porsche's look better, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I think the GTR's are hawt too, they attract as much attention as Ferrari's and Porsche's. Hell when the convt. R8 came for the first time a stock GTR was getting more attention.
