Look at the GTR, I mean change is good but since 2009 when released, Nissan has changed something on the car whether it be mechanical or cosmetic every single year since 09 which is pretty ridiculous if you ask me.
I mean let the car run its course for at least an extra year or so. If you buy a GTR I am sure you will be upset when Nissan adds something within months of your purchase.

Are you seriously comparing the GTI DSG to the GT-R transmission??? The guys were right about tacking 10k to the price because of the type of DCT the Z would need. This would drive the price to levels most people wouldn't want to pay for this type of car. I honestly think the Z is already there. In my book the Z is overpriced. Its a great car but overpriced. Adding DCT will just completely kill sales.
