I bet when it's tested by Sport Auto it's a good bit slower than the "quoted" time.

Yes, stunning car with stunning performance. I'd be very surprised if the UKprice does not have to go up on that though. When it was announced the pound was nearer 250 yen, its since droped to under 225. That adds 10% to the price of the car. The price on the newera website is only a guideline, they will base the actual price on the exchange rate when you decide to buy, as they import to order.
Personally I'd be extremely surprised to see any for sale in the UK for less than £60k on the road, if the pound drops back to 200 then your looking at 65-70k. Theres also still a lot of confusion about getting these through emmissions tests for the model report, which could add more to the cost if they need to be significantly modified.

Nissan. More exclusive & faster? Blimey Think a few fezza 599 & carrera gt owners owners may argue that point!

Hope it's decidedly more involving to drive than some previous models, over engineered is the phrase that springs to mind, but time will no doubt tell, hope it is as good as it promises to be.

The lexus LF-A looks like a stonker, thats the real supra successor imho, that thing that toyota are poking out is aweful. Hybrids are a novel idea (but really how much extra carbon goes into making/designing(remember each worker in R&D=carbon cost) and then disposing of batterries?) but not for a supercar, too much weight and for what, 5mpg extra.

The lexus LF-A on the other hand looks like a proper sports car. Good to see they back end resembles the old supra, definatelty its best angle. The only thing that worries me is that toyota are turning Lexus into a very expensive brand. Dont mind paying for good cars but they do seem to be hiking their prices up in recent times, the new GTR has hit the nail on the head for price, personally I think the new supra needs to be in the same price bracket as the gtr.

Interior is ****. It may be fast, yes, but I couldn't sit in it and look at that dashboard.

If interiors are the most important thing over handling/ performance/etc , I suggest an Audi.

I like it a lot.

I'm toying with putting a deposit down for one of these, but I think it will be too heavy to be that fun to drive. It will come into its own at insane speeds, but I'm getting older and driving slower!

I must say, the new GTR and EVO X looks mean...just a shame the GTR wont be brought into South Africa. And on the off chance of that happening, it will sell for about 1mil here So my next best option would be the EVO X, as it looks a hell of a lot better than the new scoob (please dont assault me for that statement). IMO the 2008 Scoobs looks like a mix between the Dawhoo Lanos and Mazda 3

"If you've got a job, a driving licence and get out of bed before midday, Nissan's Skyline GT-R is probably the most famous car you've never heard of. If, however, you live in the dark spaces between dusk and dawn, the fridge and the computer, Dave TV and Gran Turismo, then this test is going to be rather disappointing.
Because this is a real car, dudes, not the top-gun virtual racer on your Sony PlayStation."

Definitely one of the funnier intros to a car review! Fairly interesting write up here:
