New 530 hp TT Super G
If the 2014 MY is still a vq37, i guess I'm not getting a Infiniti when my lease finishes. This company doesn't want to produce anything new except 7 seater cars.

This car is perfect for me and lots of people I know. If i'm going to spend 100K on a car which I would, then it won't be a Nissan. Don't get me wrong, I really like the GT-R, but the one thing keeping me from LOVING it, is the fact that it's a Nissan that costs near 6 figures.
Call me a brat or a snob or whatever you want, but for 100k you'll see me rolling around in a Porsche or M6...at that point it's no longer only about the performance of a vehicle but the respect it gets on the street. Hell you can make any car faster than a Lambo when you throw 80 grand into it, at the end of the day a Lambo is a Lambo and you'll feel like a King driving it. You guys get the picture.
With this new model coming out I think they've got alot of people's attention who feel the same way. Good job.

I think you will always get more respect driving a GT-R than a Porsche or a silly BMW. The GT-R is known around the world as godzilla. The world has huge respect for Godzilla. It is heavier and has less power than many cars around the world, yet runs circles around cars that cost 3x as much.
GT-R > Porsche > BMW
To the average folk who could care less what they drive from point A-B, then get the German cars you listed. They'll be semi-impressed you have one. Those are typically the same folks who think driving a 325 series is just as "wow" as driving an M3.
To the average enthusiast and worth their weight in car knowledge, a GT-R is just as respectable as, if not more than, any other supercar in the price range... below or higher. These are folks who know a good thing when they see it.
To yourself. If you know your cars, a GT-R is the bargain of the century. If you base things mainly on brand names, then you're looking at it the wrong way. Besides, you're already driving a Nissan after all -- in Japan it's a Nissan Skyline 370GT. And, at the price you paid, you may have as well just bought a more affordable Nissan to begin with --- it's the same logic applied.
Price is relative, a Sierra Denali costs $40k-ish here, but well over $130k in China. Same exact car, same exact options.

It depends who you're trying to impress.

More and more companies are going SC or TC because its easy power and also fuel efficient.

The engine is already existing in the M. I don't know how different the M platform is from a G, but would it really take any more R&D to install it in a G over TTing a motor not designed for boost? Or using a hand built motor from a GTR? Ideally I think porting over an engine thats already used in a similar platform would be easiest.

I'm just trying to take a look at what makes business sense.

The whole article posted by Inside Line does not make business sense to be honest, I don't know why people are blindly believing it to start with.
The whole IPL project was simply a mid-life plan to avoid having the G37 coupe sales die like it is over here in the Middle East. Minor touches at a reasonable cost for the average enthusiast.

This all depends on if you are looking at the car just by the brand name. Heck you can buy a geo metro put 40k into it and it would rape our G's period. Would that be smart? No!!! Why? Cause you would be having so much problems. GT-R for 100k is a steal because it rapes a m6,m3, lambo, astons around the track. Look at the times at most of the tracks GT-R is on the top half of the boards.
This is what I was trying to say. He summed it right up.
