yeah see back in 08 when the car was launched here.... the price in japan and the US was actually pretty close...but then... the yen and dollar really started to move different ways and their 2010 model year just shot up and made a huge gap between the 2 markets.... the US saw a price increase but the gap was still there


in 2008 the base price of a GTR in the US was 69K for the base model... then there was a price increase of about 4K only months after the release... 2010 they got rid of the base and the premiums were around 84K.... then 2012 90K and closer to 95K in 2013

but while all that was going on markets like japan and the UK were 115K plus to 120K+ so if you look at it like that the GTR is not only the best value of any supercar...... the US market GTR is cheaper than other GTRs around the world
