This car is ridiculous... I think Nissan is starting to rethink its incorrect logic on when the vehicle was first released that it was as good as it gets from the factory and should not be modified.

Perfect marketing scheme if u ask me as they've upped the power with each reiteration. haha

And I thought that 530hp was plenty enough stock in my friends '12 GT-R.

God damn.

Hilarious that someone driving an M coupe and 135 has any business criticizing any other car based on looks.

Looks are entirely subjective but BMW is not winning any design awards for aesthetics.

Hmmm...not even sure what you're really saying?

If you cannot admit that the 135 is a polarizing car you're kidding yourself.

I actually feel the BMW is the least attractive car in my garage and is the 4th best looking vehicle in it's class (Rover and Cayenne would be neck and neck for "best looking" with the ML still being more attractive than the X5).

The IS F is less attractive than the C63, but both are "better looking" than the M3 sedan (different conversation for the coupe...but until this year, neither Lexus or Benz offered 2 doors ).

Soooo....as I said before....looks are entirely subjective and for an M coupe or 135 owner to disaparage the GT R....which has far more presence than any car with a roundel on the hood....is completely laughable.

BMW looks good because of its name, if you debadge it looks just like every other car on the street. Except maybe the 750 M sport... 1 series is a joke!

Here's the thing, my cars fit my needs and I kinda like that they're both ugly and not on every corner. If I wanted a GT-R and had the moolah, I'd buy one too. I don't really care if the car is ugly, but feel that it's pretty much made it's point with being a bargain, quick and capable. With that accomplished, they could stand to focus on making it look a smidge better.

Even Chevrolet has made small efforts to fix the glaring weakness of the Corvette, the interior. I'm hoping the next GT-R is 7/8 scale and at least slightly focused on looking good. The simple fact remains that if they'd put that drivetrain in the 370Z it would at least fit the typical sports car design.
