Nissan almost hardly ever gets respect for the faster and sportier of their cars. Its because they really only have 3 models, the 350z, the 370z, and the gt-r. Now those have their different body styles and classifications, but Nissan hardly ever is credited on the type of sports car they produce.
Think of Nissan, you think of the sentra, Altima, maxima, rouge, etc. The cheaper daily drives you see around. These cars cost anywhere from $12,000-$20,000 maybe a bit more if you choose to load it. But these are the daily drivers of Nissan.
Everyone thinks of those when they hear Nissan, not the Z or the GTR. Like the article says and I will paraphrase "you have to be defiant to buy a GT-R and at that point will be probably the only one in the neighborhood". They are not commonly seen around.
To even test drive the GT-R you have to have a down payment ready for the car that is at least $35,000. At least that was the guidelines of the dealership I was at.
Although they are very under-respected, the car is a true beast and can hang in the divisions of those other cars previously mentioned for 2/3's the price.
