The Nissan GTR is not a supercar, it's an alternative to the usual Ferrari and Porsche axis of evil - it gets you away from being associated with people who drive the latter, and separates you from white middle class snob types like Zee Tacoe and some of the other gobby office jockeys trolling behind their PC's

It's a real shame PH is so full of childish, trolling wazzocks. Yes that's right, I wheeled out and dusted off "wazzock" for this reply.

A few facts:
  • The 09 GT-Rs are priced as such because their list price was a lot lower than it is now.
  • From MY11 the cars have yearly or 9000 mile servicing.
  • Talk of gearbox/clutch issues for UK cars is mostly rubbish. I certainly wouldn't frame it with, say, talk of BMW VANOS issues. Or indeed any number of Porsche engine problems.
  • The car is surprisingly communicative. More so, for my money, than a Carerra 4S, which I tried before buying. Less so than an Evora, but then nothing comes close to that for driver "feel".
But really, actually, the main point I'd make is this: if you don't like the car, try to express the reasons why without coming across like a dribbling halfwit. Thanks ever so much.

Did nissan market it as a supercar?? have they claimed it is a supercar?

It has supercar performance without the price tag which the the appeal of the car and its strongest marketing tool.

It's a fast 2-door saloon and priced accordingly.

Hope the haters don't read this months evo..

Interesting that top gear is in agreement with evo about the 991's general lack of feel, car seemed not to remark on it. Evo in Porsche not fantastically amazing shock?
