I'm glad someone had the guts to say so.  If you take away the performance aspect of the car, it is actually not a very good looking hunk of metal.  It reminds me of the new Charger and that isn't a striking car either.

I don't mind the look of it, but comes off as a bit Japanese aftermarket to me. The wheels are hot, some of the lines are too, I kind of like the manly chunkiness, but just a bit plasticy or something. Not something I'd lust over, as it just doesn't have that super exotic look - and I guess the bargain price reflects that. No matter, have to respect it for the performance and engineering excellence which can't be denied. It's purpose-built.

Nissan's only reported 1 delivered to date, but no doubt they've pre-sold most incoming for some time.

Yeah doesnt have anything that makes me go WOW. Looks like a roided out 350Z. A car that's a big meh for me.

Basically a cheatcode on wheels. :D

I had said the same thing a month ago when I saw the red one in a parking lot in Burlington.  It just blended in and I actually nearly drove right past it without even noticing what it was.  Amazing car from a performance standpoint, but visually it's  :hurl:

It'll be perfect for people who want supercar performance without the supercar attention!

with all the fan boys I suspect it will get more attention than a Ferrari.
