i like it, but overall, it seems to lack cohesion... looks like the bmw designer helped out or something.

yes, the front grill section reminds me of the Evo X design. I guess car companies are swaying from the conventional grill design now.

The new GTR looks pretty cool, although a little bulky, but it still looks cool cant wait to see it one the streets..

It looks ok but for some reason it reminds me of a Hyundai Tiburon with different headlights. I hope the performance aspect of the car is up to par with it's price tag.

how are you assuming that the only "true fans" of this car will be poor people that won't be able to afford it? kind of a bold assertion if you ask me

Not quite a bold assertion....just check the median income of your average US citizen and see if there's room for an $80k car. The answer is a big NO! The overwhelming majority of people will not be able to afford it.

As bold as implying that people who can't afford $80,000 automobiles are poor?

quick lesson in logic:

my saying "poor people that won't be able to afford it" does NOT mean "everyone who can't afford it is necessarily poor."

consider this analogous statement: "females that aren't interested in cars" does NOT mean "everyone who is disinterested in cars is necessarily a woman."
