Of course most of the new cars on the market are getting rounder/softer fronts for some reason so its something that I guess I have to get used to *shrugs*.

looks like they smoothed out the front a little bit

i like it, pending shots from other angles

the only part i dont like are the front fender arches

lets see i graduate law school in '09
pass bar in '10
pay off debt by '15

perfect, just in time for the R36, which will do 0-60 in 2.5 secs and 10.7 quarter

dope

you got that backwards. and if you've never picked up a magazine before, i guess you wouldn't know that they always cost more in canada. and i guess if you've been in a box for your whole life, you wouldn't know that canada JUST became equal like a month ago or less.

not to mention it's a magazine printed in america, not canada. shipping.

It may be an evolution in it's layout, but it sure isnt an evolution of design.
Bushido you show your age. All you have to do is go back in GTR history to the last GTR of the 70's to see the styling cues. aka the Ken Mary Skyline GTR.
Plus if you think the 350z lacks 240z DNA you would have gotten a F in design school. Both of these cars show hints of their heritage all over the cars. If you don't have eyes to see that then you should not be judging the looks of cars period. You cry because they just don't look like the last generation or the first. You have to realize the designer needs to incorporate those links but at the same time come up with something very fresh and modern . In both the GTR and the 350 Nissan has done this . Maybe you need to see a eye doctor? Maybe you need to study the designs of previous generations closer or maybe you need to look at these cars closer to see the styling cues that hark right back in heritage. For instance the rear of the GTR has GTR rear written all over it while still being modern. The roof line takes cues from the Ken Mary. The front has a GTR style bold front grill area like the R34.
Do you want me to take the 350 apart and show its cues as well?
Get an eye or give up on your critiques.

I wonder why didn't they make that center monitor more angled towards the driver...

Also, I see the digital gauges on it. I actually like that interior more than a lot of the "new/future" oriented interior designs.

yeah, the heater/a/c controls look really cheap. overall, the dash is kinda lumpy and thrown together-looking to me. doesn't look like a cohesive design. I like the steering wheel and the IP, though.

You know what the dash says to me, "No Frills". Like, "I'm a supercar and I'm not hear to give you a back rub. I'm hear to tear up the track."

I just noticed the rear side marker. It goes vertically up the rear fender. I bet that will look cool blinkin away.

While it's designed to compete with the porsche buyers.. I don't think they did enough to seperate it from the regular line.. going from a 30k z to a 80k GTR is a big step and someone who's got 80k to spend probably won't do it for what looks like a tunned up Z car thats a bit on the heavy side. I think it will flop. Might have worked at 60k but 80's a different ball park. A porsche looks refined and has brand image. This just doesn't look enough apart from a z/g35. I don't think the avg "non enthusiast" will know either. We all may know what a skyline is but no one I play golf with at work does and they are the prospective buyers. That interior won't win any awards. Looks like it was designed by chrysler and made out of the same cooler material most trucks are. Some silver painted plastic and two giant air vents pointed right at your hands (10 and 2) just the whole thing isn't polished. It's fast and I'm sure it handles good and does everything is says it does.. I think my wife summed it up best "It looks like a transformers car"

That would be nice in a zo6 type no frills car, which I really think nissan should have done, but the gt-r is gunning for the 997tt. It is suppose to be, from what I am told, a luxurious super car. With a 3800 lb weight, it better give me a back rub while I tear up the track. I just don't see people who can afford a 997tt going with a gt-r. I think they went for the wrong target, I guess we will see...

I don't think they were going for luxury. Nissan is not about luxury. It's about sport. They were going for performance. Keep in mind, they are going to have an Infinity version too (not been confirmed but you can quote me on it), and THAT will be the luxury version.

They used the 997tt as a benchmark for performance, not to compare interiors and luxury. There will be no matching luggage for the GTR, etc, etc.

It puzzles me how it became so heavy then. I wonder how big the back seat is?

They used the 997tt as a benchmark for performance, not to compare interiors and luxury. There will be no matching luggage for the GTR, etc, etc.
will the infiniti have a goddamn manual? i just had a serious change of heart about these things. not that nissan will notice, but still. america finally gets a skyline and it's got a tiptronic like a fucking pt cruiser.

AWD is always heavy. Add in all the elctronics, sound deadening, etc etc, and it's a beast. But what does weight matter with those kind of performance numbers? I mean if it was heavy, and the numbers reflected that, then it would be an issue. Obviously that's not the case. The numbers are better then people expected.

No clue yet, but I'd imagine they are going to have a traditional gear box as 2009.5 or 2010 model.

it puzzles you? Look at the weight of the old GTR's . Look at the current chassis's that Nissan is designing the structure of them is a heavier design though structurally its a lot more rigid. The ATTESA adds a lot of weight to any car.
You and Wolf....... lol Looks like a tuned up Z car. Damn both you guys would fail in design school and Art judgement. Hey wait your an EVO lover. You would not know good taste in design if it hit you over the head! LOL sorry 0100 you left yourself open for that comment. You both need to get a set of new eyes.
Wolf the average enthusiast is not the average buyer of a car of this caliber thats being sold in limited quantities . In fact the segment its going for already knows all about it.
Glad to know you play golf does that make you special?

P.S. don't you two whine about starting something you posted your opinions and this is my retort.
