To compete with Porsche, it probably would need an Infinity badge. I didn't watch the entire video due to the poor lighting. Did anybody think the car seemed to understeer? Coming from a 996ttX50, I wouldn't be too thrilled with that. AS

It's the service that is another limiting factor on the appeal of this car. I can only think back to my Touareg days when Touareg and Phaeton owners were subjected to the horrible VW service departments, and got to drive Jetta loaners for weeks on end.

I think the performance of the car is obviously going to be great and of course all the mags(rags) will boast the bang for buck factor- but really like someone said if you've got a $100K car in your garage you just add a new one instead of sell it to save money. it's the 60-70-85k price range people shopping for one car that have to decide between a CLS, a 911, zo6, e63, m5 etc that this car will yell at the loudest.
I'd also be terrified of having altima mechanics with my skyline keys for a 2 day "repair" or "tuneup" that will most likely involve afterhours burnouts and frying the clutch. I mean, they do that at porsche dealers but at least they know how to drive porsches...

for me- the crease styling of the front end and the rear window pillars is too japanese anime, although the rear end really is sweet.
