Subjectively, I think the GT-R looks like crap, on a weekly basis at our local Glen Clove meet you have your Ferraris, Lambos, and a Lotus and then you typically have 2-4 GT-Rs. Guess what, when it comes to looks the crowd doesn't look twice at the GT-R's. So you pay a premium to be the Exotics' Faster Ugly Step Sister, sorry man doesn't work for me.
I think the GT-R is gorgeous ( but i like the 370z's design more, it's perfect), and you can't beat the amazing engineering put into it (a twin turbo V6 thats, going up against V10's and a V16 Bugatti Veyron) for under $130,000. I'm not a track guy myself, but for anyone that i know that wants a supercar and they ask for my opinion, i recommend the GT-R, Lamborghini Aventador, or the Porsche GT3 4.0. That's the beauty of having a variety in all product markets though, you have to get out and test each one to find what fits your definition of a complete package.
