I shudder to think cars like this are no longer being offered with a standard drive, but MM is right, we better get used to it.

Momentum Keeps Me Going
Aside from the front - the worst I've seen on a car in memory - which looks like some weird orafice that shouldn't be decussed in public, the side, which is just pain unstylish, and the back which (thou argueably the best of the lot) from some angles looks like a Corvette w/those round taillights ... still sitting inside and looking out (and driving 
) would be a blast, not that there's anything very cohesive about the interior but at least it's fancy and has lots of buttons and displays.
What they should have is a Kabura style visible engine hood, cause that CERTAINLY is the looker on the car! Zoowie - man that is just sick looking!!!

Im interested in how it will look with some after market support. I can imagine some sick cosmetic improvements with a slew of new body kits. I dont even want to think about after market performance upgrades.....yeesh its fast enough (cant believe i just said that).

I really wanted to like this GT-R.
I've been saving all my nickels and dimes, and I'm ready to buy this car.
But while its performance is surely without question, I'm afraid the looks just don't do it for me. For this kind of money, I want the body and interior to be simply stunning, in a Ferrari kind of emotional way.
If I'm honest with myself, there are parts of the car that just don't look right. The lack of a classic manual trans is also a let down for me.
I wanted to like this car, I wanted to love this car, I wanted to buy this car, but I just can't. My money will be buying something else.

The style is kind of a letdown for me. The side looks "unfinished", and I'm not digging the front air damn. The hood looks a little weird, too. The *** is pure sex, tho, as is the dash and steering wheel and seats. The interoir looks nice enough for it's price point and the fact it is a Nissan.
But I agree with others the styling has to be more emotional to grab buyers at this price point. Perhaps it will look better in person?? Although a lot of people might just be "starstruck" by the fact it's a GT-R in the flesh.

I don't really like the design of this new GT-R but give it some time and it might grow on me.

You guys have to wait for rendition 2. Nissan M.O is to bring out the better version after 2-2.5 years. That is there trend.... I wouldn't buy this first rendition if i was in the market for this car. Granted this GT-R will be awesome, but alot of first time buyers will be very sour when version 2.0 comes with small upgrade in power,diffrent interior,revised fascia, wheels etc. They did it to the Maxima, Altima, Z, Sentra, etc... and if that is the trend , i bet you they will do it to this car.
