The dash looks all wrong, too much going on.

Nissan reckon 0-60 in 3.5secs though!

Blimey it's a flight deck!
Will there be a manual version?

U-G-L-Y you aint got no aliby you ugly

Don't like the front end at all, looks better with the "car bra" it's been sporting at various events this year such as Goodwood.

Looks wise not a patch on the R34 IMHO.

I like it - I misread the title to this (and so have been ignoring it) thinking it was about the Sunny GTiR!!

I don't think Porsche will be worried.

Looks like it was styled by Blue Peter and cereal boxes.

The concept pictures looked great, but they've muffed it up in the final execution. I'll stick to my R33, thanks.

Hmm, oh well, looks like I am not in the majority once again. I really like the outside of the car, especially the front. The dash is a little below par, I always prefer white dials. The centre console with the hideous computer readouts will almost certainly be able to be changed to be reading satnav instead. So no big deal there.

Yes, I think thats on my aspiration list. Cannot wait to see one in the flesh

I don't like the dash ,not keen on the rounded **** would have prefered it to have been flat but if the engine specs and price are correct it is going to be a nice piece of kit.

All sounds great, but the price may be an issue. Some are talking $80k which would be fine if it didn't cost more in the UK where £65k has been mentioned. I also wonder how it accelerates so well (11.7 quarter mile I read) when it weighs so much.

Could be seriously rock n' roll off the line with a sophisticated 4wd system and no doubt instant cog swaps from the auto-box. You'd need the terminal to draw firm conclusions.

Awesome performance by the sounds of it but not keen on the look, especially at the front. Who designed the centre consol
