No, its not. which is why it is also sad that it being to preform in the classes of the Ferrari should deserve praise and respect like a Ferrari does. Even though it looks like a sporty 4 seater sedan and nothing like a Ferrari; it certainly does not sound like a normal sedan nor does it preform like so.

I agree. Nissan leasing the GTR at 6 month intervals is going to lead to some abused cars on the market. Plus the rareness of it goes away. I rarely saw them before but now Nissan employees are having quite the fun time on the roads.

2015 Nissan GT-R Premium Review
you don't get a gtr, or any car for that matter, to get respect. haters are always going to hate. i couldn't give two sh*ts what other people think about me or my car. as long as I like it, then it's all good.

come to think of it, the gtr can keep up, if not beat, some of the cars listed. so in retrospect, think of the looks on their faces if they got beat by a nissan.

Took a 30 year old female co-worker in my Z to an appointment. Got back to my office building parking lot and parked next to the only GTR in the building. As we were walking by it I said, "I wouldn't mind having one of those." She replied after looking at the GTR quickly, "why, your car is much nicer". She had no clue what a GTR was.

Yes, very much so and she's not a blonde! Problem is I have a daughter close to her age, and I'm older than her father

Car gets total respect here - trust me. In this land of speed and cars, rolling in a GTR is a good thing. I have a mate here with a 13 in black, tuned and he gets a shite ton of fun and attention. Most spend more and get less compared to GTR. Since when is 100k$ poor. Funk that garbage.

I have absolutely no clue what you are talking about.

Every single day, I see supercars on the streets. Yes Dubai DUH.
But there are a few cars here that not just are respected by everyone here but pretty much breaking necks everywhere they go.

GTR always gets heads turning. Once there was an r34 parked next to a Ferrari. (I dont know which ferrari it was because no one was really looking at it.Nor did anyone care.
Its true the GTR does not look much next to ferraris and such, But the GTR has an image set in stone in most peoples mind. Its Godzilla. Its the 100k car that has put its much much more expensive competitors to shame.

If that is not respect, I dont know what is.

On a side note, In Dubai, Toyota Land cruisers and Nissan Patrols are more respected (And Feared for that matter) than ferraris LOL.

the general public may sleep on the gtr, but it is one of the most respected cars to the car community.
