Look what I saw today

This guy was sitting on the side of the road near my house. Not something you see often around my town. I can't find any direct reference to pedigree, but it sure looks like the GT-R has a lot in common with the G37 coupe.

I'm sure I'm def in the minority here, but besides the engine, I don't like anything about the GT-R. From the side it looks like a mustang and altima had a baby. Weird shape all around for me topped with hideous spoiler. For the price tag I could think of a LOT of better looking cars to get. Just my 2 cents.


nice find though. I have yet to see one on the road.

You may find a lot more cars that you personally find better looking, but nothing that I can think of that outperforms it.

AS far as looks though, I don't care for the front grille but other than that I think I could learn to live with it.

To me, the body really looks like a G37 with sharper corners and edges.

of course you will be able to find better looking cars, but like BB said, find one for the price that will outperform it.

the gt-r is HUGE, i kind of like it though

It wasn't designed so much for looks as it was for aerodynamics. Few cars have a Cd of 0.27.

Why are people so surprised when they see a GT-R now? They are just as common as G37s in Atlanta. I swear I see them all the time.

We don't have any GT-R's here in Guam yet. Our dealership is in the bottom priority list for these cars.
I did see one in person when I was in Japan last February.
