GTR(New Car and Driver). For the Haters

[ISAtlanta300]

cmon, u honestly think they would release w car with hotse gaps etc u pointed out, its probrably just a bad angle of the pic.

But like voododo said, its a performing car, much like a vette or a viper your not gonna get all that extra stuff like that benz u posted, its more of a drivers car were everything is geared towards the driver u can tell just by lookin at the 2....we expect a mercedes/ferrari/lambo to have a interior like that. With that in mind, u know what those buttons on the wheel are, prob cruise/audio controls/ maybe even controls for the digi display!

But that's where the car gets its identity crisis. Is it a performance car? Luxury car? Supercar? A real performance car would care less about all those buttons for audio , AC, Phone, Nav etc. on the steering wheel as all these would distract the driver. At most they would just have the basic buttons for audio and cruise. That GT-R Steering wheel looks too busy.

I think it is an awesome performer.. they just need to give it a little thought on how they want to 'package' it.. especially on the inside... for a $ 80K plus car, it looks cheap. For a performace car, it looks cluttered.

i hear what ur sayin, but it is about to be 2008, and alot of things have changed since the r34. most cars above 40k have steering wheels audio controls. and it would make since to have nav controls on the wheel, rather than having to press another button somewhere else.

to me it looks totally identical to the r34 interior, just updated. espeically since the car has alto more technology into it.

yea but when u see a SLR u know its supercar with its perfect interior,hell a SLR weighs 4k pounds if they striped it down it would would be insanely faster than already is......but when u have sports cars on budget like the GTR and Z06 the place they suffer is interior and little things here and there
