MC, what's the latest guess on US pricing? I still think this is going to be a $95K car.


that 7:20 is a little ambiguous... kind of some downer news to share on that... here is why ..... on the JDM site it says something translated like fastest production supercar 7:20 for over 500 made a month....

ニュルブルクリンクサーキットで、量産スーパーカー世界最速*の7分20秒台を記録する速さ。

*月産500台以上。スポルトオート紙による競合他車ラップタイム。

but then there is a movie that chronicles the new car and the nurburgring chapter states it was wet on the day of their public test and were not able to record a best lap ... but they did lap the ring at 7:24 repeatedly in those conditions...

so it looks like now with more info there isnt a exact lap down to the tenths with video and all that like before...



as for price... i would hope for the US they keep it at 89K with 1 K destination to mentally put it under 90K for buyers just like something on TV is 19.99 not $20... but thats just a marketing guess... if it follows trends of the other regions your guess could be more accurate than mine... but we will know all NOV 17th when it debuts at LA autoshow
