I beleive that is the link im referring to, and yes i know that the GT-R is running with the big boys who cost twice the price, other than the Corvette or the Viper. I am not disputing it is a great car, just the "greatest car ever" that the fanbase likes to make you think it is, and nissan is helping that immage with the things like severely underpricing the value of the car to put it in a segment it doesnt belong. that would be like nissan chopping 15k off a GT3 and saying its here to compete with the viper on price but hey it can do everything better. not a bad strategy, but your basically forcing the public to compare apples to oranges. thats bad for competition, much like the Prius development assistance is bad for the competition. im not getting hurt that they are playing dirty, i just find it funny that its coming back to bite them with the whole price increase AND prosche testing their products for them. once again, great car, just not the greatest car the magazines have made it to be. its advertising at its finest.
