Even the base vette is fast though, so I hope this car runs as good as that. The vette needs a good competitor, maybe this is it. ---

I love the lines on that car, hopefully the price point comes in at/lower than they keep saying. Unfortunately, this usually isn’t the case. ---

I used to work for a car dealership and every single jeep/chrysler trade in i drove felt like it was no newer than an 85, but in fact they were all late 90s or newer… trans’ always slipping or hard shifting etc etc. Can’t say i had either of those problems with ANY of the nissans that were traded. Including an 87 300zx. ---

Well, I didn’t say it. Haha. Not saying that one is better than the other, but I wouldn’t spend $30k+ on a Nissan. That’s just me, don’t get your panties in a twist over it. ---

That’s just me, don’t get your panties in a twist over it. i assure you, no one is getting their “panties in a twist” over your bad taste. infact, we’ve come to expect it:D i think its safe to assume that most of the nissan SUV’s as well as the maxima / altima/ Z are over 30k and i think theyre well worth what they cost.
