Like everyone has said; the looks are meh, the power is lacking and the price isn't that low. The Z is hands down sexier and if you were to downgrade to the BRZ / FRS you'd miss the extra HP and LB quickly. I like the idea behind the car and know if will sell well as long as the keep the price down.
I won't be out of my Z until I can afford a $60k+ car in which case i'd look at the 2013 Cayman which is going to be super sexy due to the new roof life: Redirect Notice or of course the GTR

Since Toyota has said they will 'produce' a SC for the engine we should see a turbo from Subaru at some point, just how quickly.

Wow, great way to partner up on a car huh SC style FI for one, Turbo for the other. Talk about covering all enthusiast angles. I gotta give the Toyobaru marriage its respect for giving the public what they want on many angles.

I don't think they will either, but not because of that. The GTR is just a monster with ridiculous handling and performance all around not just a lot of power. People who buy GTRs want that very top tier all around performance, the absolute best (within monetary reason). Even a tt Z which puts out GTR hp won't take a GTR on the track still.

Nissan seems to know what they wanted the 370z to be as well as placing the GTR on a higher level. |
