I actually like it a lot, but the 2010 GTR is also improved quite a bit too:

C'mon - they are putting in a 560HP 4.8L V-10!!!!! That car is going to be bad ass, I still want an M5 though (my kids won't like sitting in the trunk much if I get a coupe)

I don't like the looks of that car. Looks like it's trying too hard but still looks like a kitted up import for some reason. And pricing is supposed to be north of $250K or so. HELL NO!

Looks like a Lexus IS/Supra with Ferarri Vents. I'd drive it, but dont think I'd ever consider buying one.

And with minor mods produce equal HP, easily. Basically for that price I would rather get an M6, M5, AND a GTR

I'm just sitting here calculating how many GT-R's I can buy instead of this exercise in appliance design on wheels... maybe I'm wrong IDK...
