Keep in mind that Europeans already pay more for cars. We often pay the same price in dollars (or a bit higher) that they do in Euros. Just look at other BMW or MB prices for reference.

i would be suprised if west herr didnt get at least that many, considering they’re almost always #2 right behind barney… but still, thats not a lot. nissan doesnt have much of a market in WNY.
my chub gets a little big bigger every time more news on this thing comes out.

Carrera GT, I guess it’s the “set your goals high” approach. :lol:
It looks pretty nice, but I’ll wait to see what comes out for production.

Considering the cost of both, I’d take the GTR in a heartbeat if it was even in the same realm as the CGT.
High Expectations on Nissan’s part for sure.

are you really asking that?
the reason for all the hype about this car is only partly because it’s coming back…the other part is that this, from the start, has been titled “the first skyline/gtr/whatever ever officially to be sold in the US”
