The front end makes it look like an evil grin on a monster coming to eat your face. Overall, I like it. And that interior is fantastical. Cossey, do it. ---

I have mixed feelings with the interior. All the switch gear around the sculpted trim/vent looks too gimmicky to me, and I would expect this kind of design coming from the Japanese, like may be something in the NS"next". ---

Something about using the left leg while driving makes it seem more authentic. ---

after hearing an F430 scuderia ripppping it up/down gears at limerock last year i would 100% buy a paddleshift supercar, not like an R32 or porsche or EVO or any of those, though. ---

having a clutch is definitely nice. my e-shift is300 is no where near as fun as a manual would be, although it is nice in traffic jams ---

They waste time making stupid shit like that(still looks good though :lol") Obviously there is a lot more going on behind release dates and what most people would think why GT5 will not be released this year. The close relationship between SONY and Polyphony Digital is often overlooked by most gamers and often underestimated. Ever since that GT for PSP is announced, I knew immediately GT5 will not be release this year. People can simply ask if it is a mere coincident that the GT for PSP happens to release on the same day as the PSP GO. KY did an interview back in early summer saying that GT5 “is 100% ready for release and it is up to him to release the game or not”; well the game might be ready for release, but I can guarantee you it is NOT up to him to release but most likely SONY will have the last say. The release of GT5 need be gapped so that the GT5 game and all the potential PS3 sales due to its release will not be close enough that the two games will be competing with themselves for sales during the holiday shopping season. The release of GT for PSP GO, along with the PS3 hardware price cut will for sure help SONY in the Q4 of 09, Q1 of 10, a gap created by pushing the GT5 release to Q2 of 10, can then be cover by other new releases giving them a breather. ---
