GTR(New Car and Driver). For the Haters

[Warden]

that cars so badass...

[TopSpeedInc]

they screwed it up... its ugly now. The real Skyline died with the R34.

No doubt that it's a great performing well built car...I still think it's ugly and overhyped.

[JITB]

Yikes, looks like fifty different people threw design ideas into a blender. None of the lines match up and you can just tell by looking how cheap the plastics are. The steering wheel looks like a playstation wheel.

WHAT it looks just like the r34 interior, yall just makin up stuff now...lol

[VooDooXII]

The interior looks strictly business...no sense of style, just everything you need at hand.

Here's what I mean.

A near $100k car should look like this inside:

Here's what I mean.

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!

I guess it's just not classy enough for my tastes, I understand what you are saying. It looks no better than a $30k Evo. Even the new STI has a badass interior and it's only $30k.

i can agree with that...

i prob cant fit my tall ass in it anyway..

[chituntang]

V-spec is needed. The car is too fat even it is that fast.

That's exactly how I feel. Interior fit and finish is an important part of a car for me too.

[Capt._Ron]

I think the car will perform fine for the class that it is in. I don't think the Z06 and Viper have amazing interiors and if the new GTR can match the performance of those cars for about the same price then it will do fine. Interior is a very easy thing to change relatively on a car so who knows what the us production cars will look like. If it holds true to nissan 's reputation the car will probably excel in reliability and durability but if you can afford an 80k dollar car who cares about that ha ha . Good car just over hyped IMO.

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

3800=PIG

every iteration has gotten fatter.
R32=3200lbs
R33=3400lbs
R34=3600lbs
new GTR=a whooping 3800lbs! oink oink!

vette Z06 owns it.

[The Ninja]

GTR > Z06, and I'm a z06 fan.

The GTR is a beast.

[AV8ter]

I foresee many newbs getting the keys to these new super cars, and then I see many newbs getting into crazy wrecks with these super cars............................

[OneSlow5pt0]

im sorry but id take the slower SLK55 AMG over a Z06 or GT-R anyday

[IronEagle]

Damn i'd hit it.

[IronEagle]

Says here it has its own platform also. Not based on the FM Z/G car chassis. Wild.

[ttman]
