And I hear all the time that "I'll get one some day" and of all the people I've heard say that, only one one has. As for the luxury, if you doubt it go look or drive an R34. The GTR has become more luxurious with each new model. You can already say they strayed from the performance roots from the R33 on. Driving both an R33 and an R32 is a completely different experience. This is why they put a little more performance in the R34. I believe the new GTR will be an incredible sports car but we'll have to see exactly where Nissan goes with it. As for the GTR's being the same as the GTS-T's with a different drivetrain, your only part right. The shell is the only thing thats close to the same and even thats slightly different from the RWD cars. Most of the parts on a GTR are specific to the GTR, if you doubt me work on them as much as I do and try to find parts. They can be interchanged but are not the same. That kind of gross over simplification is like saying an evo is the same as a lancer, just with a different engine. Nearly every part of the car is different between the two.
    wow anywhere in my post did i mention Import Fees.. no, i was only talking about the cars themselves, cause if the car price goes down then the overall price goes down... right??

    If you couldn't afford one before, you won't be able to afford one afterwards. Even now it is more expensive and time consuming to try to import one than to just buy one already here. When the new GTR comes out here it will affect the pricing here more than the pricing there. The main reason for the high price is the fact that you can't get one any other way over here. In Japan you can get GTR's all over so the release of a new model won't affect the price as much as you think. The R34's in Japan will take a much larger hit than the R33's that you want and the R34's will take a steep dive here. The price on one car generally only drops significantly when the following model is released but isn't affected much when subsequent models are released. If your wanting to properly import an R33 your SOL right now anyways until someone picks up Motorex's tab and takes over because as of right now they're the only ones authorized to do so. I'm sure your going to sit there and spout off shit you've heard about how to properly import a car but I've been dealing with this game longer than you've been thinking about driving so I'm not going to waste my time arguing with you any longer.

    Said the GT-R0x0r$ God, and on the Third Day, it was so.

    Wow, everyone give Ryan a hand, way to resort to personal attacks. Rather than just say 'you're lame' you actually thought something through. I really liked that part about 'I've been doin this longer than you've been thinkin about driving lolz.'

    This thread is a fucking joke. Nothing but speculation, wishful thinking and pipe dreams. With a dash of drama.

    Just my $0.02.
