So Eric, what are your initial impressions? Did you end up paying way over sticker or did you do ok?

I ask because I was a pre-order for the GT-R, but my local dealer (Fairfax) was asking $28K over. I had to pass...

I'm not so sure if you're new to 'forums' but some of you need to seriously check yourself.

To the OP; enjoy the GT-R in great health my friend. I'm fairly positive we'll see you back on the this side of the German fence. Regardless; the GT-R is a fantastic car.

To those who seem to think it's okay to offend someone b/c they're making the change from a Porsche to a *gasp* NISSAN; get a friggin grip.

oh, and akim, go have a smoothie or something; chill out.

Congrats on the GT-R.

This has to be one of the fugliest cars ever made:



*** end looks like a Chevy Cobalt:



Front end:



Looks like a Honda, but not as nice:



Edgy lines like a Caddy but not as nice:





Bottom line: I would be embarrassed to be seen driving this POS.

That's a car that only Stevie Wonder could love.

Okay, I'm always harping on how ugly the new GTR is but that's only because its ugly for how much you're spending. Its not "Aztec" ugly though.

While I don't think it's attractive in any color, white certainly does seem to be the worst for the GTR. Makes it look like an appliance.

Why I don't share Cole's dislike for Japanese cars, I think your comment is WAY out of line. People have been banned for far less inflammatory remarks.

Looks cool to me too. Brutal, mean and purposeful. Pretty it ain't...but then I'm not a six year old girl so that doesn't worry me too much.

Thats funny.

OP: love to see some pics and hear your impression of the car. I saw my first one (in person) last weekend. It was a little larger than I expected, but the fit and finished appeared to be very top notch.

Have fun with it!
