Fast doesn't always equal cool. It may be fast, but it's still ugly as sin, and too big. No one car-savvy's going to be impressed with that gob or the flashy styling. Yes I said styling, not design. It's trying too hard.

That somehow makes it less cool. It's not a dangerous hardcore car, which would be instantly subzero. Or were it a family car that happen to do under 8:00, that'd be subzero too. It's neither of those, and despite it not being a race car, the GT-R was bred specifically to go fast around Nurburgring.


I just realized that I haven't voted on it. Hmmmm.

On a side note, when the Japanese try to be just Japanese (not copying others) it's a very hit or miss affair. Just take a look at this.
