Amazing, in the UK Losers are proud of being Losers loser
Another Porsche owner with no sense of humour, so is that why you need a Porsche too, as your so inadequate in yourself no woman will go near you unless she thinks you have money so sad :-)
You could be on to something there sooty. Wasn't he the one with the naff online dating profile someone googled up and posted? Gee, you wouldn't have thought it necessary what with the Porschextender and all hehe
laugh I really love Porsches and M3's but some of the owners only buy them as an image item, I was on my way to buy and M3 CS 18 monthes ago, and this was after it took me awhile to persuade myself people wouldn't just look at me and go "C*ck". So there i am cruising upto Lincoln and what do you know and M3 does a 3 lane undertake then shoots down my sliproad at the roundabout again nearly runs someone of the road by changing lanes without signalling but using the horn and a right foot, it depressed me so much i turned round and drove home, I really wanted that car but just could not be associatted with the M3 driver image :-(

What Nissan don't mention is the fact that there are no tyres around for the GTR so most cars will beat a used one waiting for Dunlop or Bridgstone to supply! If you're driving a German car.......stay that way and keep your hair and your blood pressure intact!

Most people that i know with GTR's that drive and track use either Toyo's or Advan's.

Mind you, most of them are on aftermarket wheels too ....

All the German Marques carry out negative advertising just a little less blatant i suppose check this out, apparently it upset a few people in the parent company VW as it was going to be used by Porsche to show their group membership and this was a quick google find :-)
Do you have a link for that? I don't remember that coming out as a marketing campaign as such. From memory it was created by the press to illustrate the possible merger/buy out.

When you're top of your respective markets, there is no need to run negative advertisting campaigns.
Did you even read some of the earlier posts? There has been loads of negative advertising between Audi and BMW.
Yes I did, and no, I can't think of any in the same vein as the Nissan advertising mentioned here. As I can't think of any, I'd simply like to see some - so show me some, in a similar style. smile
hows this?

this whole thing has really got my blood boiling,as a porsche owner,...i recently saw a you-tube video of nissan's latest ad campaign in germany, where two tarts were going thru berlin, and whenever they came upon a 911, they would paste over the owners front windshield with a plastic stick-on sheet of the image of the back of a nissan gtr,...supposedly implying that that's what a 911 owner would see when they dared "challenge" agtr,...firstly,..here in the states,..if someone messes with someone elses car,..they are very likely to have their "NUTS" blown off,...not kidding!,..YOU DON'T MESS WITH PEOPLES CARS!,...secondly,...this comes off as very desperate and childish on nissans part,...they now sell 22 cars a month stateside,...and admittedly are getting very desperate and silly in their lame attempts to supposedly "pull" porsche owners away from their beloved 911's,..not gonna happen!,...has nissan ever had the balls to admit that the car they benchmarked for the gtr to take away the crown from WAS THE PORSCHE 911 TURBO?,.and further more, like THIS is really gonna convince a 911 owner to drop his porsche for a nissan,...not happening, and WON'T happen,...witness the gtr's dismal sales numbers,...i actually think the gtr's ultimant destiny will be as another in a long line of failed attempts to de-thrown the 911 turbo as the sports-car benchmark,..and in a few years, nissan will queitly kill off the gtr,...to be remembered as a great, but flawed 911 killer that didn't succeed!,...these ad campaigns only highlight nissan pitiful desperate attempts, and come off very badly to any sophisticated consumer,..of which most buyers of 100,000 dollar and up cars are,...

Friend has a GTR, the sound is earth shattering, far better than his RS4, but the RS4 doesn't go wrong, and the GTR does nothing but go wrong.

Nissan made the GTR go wrong a lot of the time so it has the same "character" as the cars it is competing against.

John_R (the person my comment was aimed at if memory serves) has both a GTR and an RS6 with a miltek exhaust and I think it's safe to say the RS6 sounds better!
