From a financial perspective, the best thing Nissan could’ve ever done was keep the Skyline out of North America, cause with all the hype that’s been raised over the past 20 years for this car, Nissan is now able to do whatever they’d like at their perusal. Who puts a Auto tranny in a supercar and still has people willing to spend almost $100G just to get the name? If it were around from when it came out people would probably just treat it as another Viper or Corvette. Nice car, power CRAZY but it’s just another fast car. EDIT – Paddle shift is still just an Auto in disguise. I figured it at least has a paddle shift already. Thus the use of Twin Clutches instead of the regular auto tranny means (Torque Converter). ---

Definitely the hype of the Skyline is whats pushing the GT-R. Cause the average person would be like oh its the new skyline, in Canada, and then go out and buy it…and it ain’t one [a skyline]. > Paddle shift is still just an Auto booo to no manual (lol) but someone will do this car up nasty. ---

Yes you lose the clutch, but it’s physically impossible to shift that fast. It’s a better system, and it’s the way of the future, quit being so ‘hardcore’ and learn to accept it… You notice most new vehicles come with a CVT tranny, or in the case of performance oriented vehicles the twin-clutch paddle shift?.. It sucks, but it’s what’s happening. Besides, they mentioned that it _may_ be coming with a true manual in the future. Agreed… Even VW’s new DSG shifts faster than regular manual. Proven on Best motoring when they had two Golfs, one with DSG and one with Manual.
