Nissan Skyline... thoughts?

Any thoughts on the 2009 Nissan Skyline, and is the GTR shown below the model to be released in the USA?

Some pics I have seen make this car look very nice, but other make it look to boy racer-ish. Curious what you all think.

Its an awesome looking car, seen one here at work one day. It is ridiculous of the things that you have to do to maintain it and the service agreement you have to sign with Nissan. You have to maintain a strict mileage maintenance with them.

Yea that is the GTR that was released here.

...and 480 HP...

But for the money they want, I would say there are better options out there.

480 hp that'll you'll never be able to use if you hope to have some kind of warranty on it. Don't forget the $119 /L trans fluid.

So the dealership can tell how fast you drive and use it to void your warranty? man technology is a bitch

Yea that does suck. Its pretty cool that the devs of the Gran Turismo franchise are the ones who created the HU interface for the gauges and read outs.

Oooohhhhhh

What Edmunds has to say about the GT-Rs "Launch Control":

"The computer holds the engine at 4,500 rpm and waits for you to lift your left foot off the brake pedal. When you do the GT-R produces the most crushing acceleration of virtually any production car in the world... Its 3.3-second 0-60-mph run and 11.6 at 120.9 mph performance make the GT-R the quickest car we've ever tested."


Now I see what your saying... basically the funnest feature of the car voids the warranty when you use it... bummer
