And you don't see 500,000 of them being recalled like Ford Focuses for sticking accelerators or other problems so you should be glad that Nissan is not like Ford.
What they should do is bump the low end torque a little, bump the horsepower up to about 375, address the interior NOISE issue and redesign the dash to add an analog clock where the digital clock is and an analog fuel and temp gauge, and an ALL LEATHER interior instead of the stupid mouse fur inserts.This is all easily possible and at moderate cost.
You aren't going to see a 3000 lb sports car again with today's safety requirements and all of the luxury stuff like power windows and seats either.

the reason the seats are not all leather is so that you don't slide around the seats when making hard turns...the GTR has the same thing. It keeps your butt planted.
