I have had the opportunity to fully inspect a GT-R black edition. Maybe the bodystyle itself looks 80k vs 106k. But once being inside the car, looking under the hood. Hearing it turn on and watch stock GT-R's killing everything under the sun @ qquarter mile track day... you start to see where its a bargain. The GT-R is very fairly priced. Lack of exposure to the car will make you think differently.

The. Juke-R is an amazing vehicle for all the reasons you mentiioned. If I were rich? I'd definately bid on one. Now that's an EXCLUSIVE Nissan. Lol. Pun intended. Honestly, I didn't expect the juke to beat the GT-2. But i will put my money on it against a Cayenne turbo S. Realistically speaking $590,000 is ridiculous for a juke R. But who "woulda thunk it" factor sells cars like this. Rich man toys for sure. I hope they don't try to azz-rape when the Nismo-juke hits the dealers?

I would luv to see someone sort out the AWD vs RWD issues and cram a GTR motor in a Z. That would be incredible.
