Yep. Tire rotation? Annual. Oil change? Annual. Head gasket replacement? Annual. Wait.
I wonder how bad GTRs actually do ride... They have back seats and automatic transmissions...

I wonder if there's a Carmax with one.
Not much else gets the blood flowing to the like the thought of a GTR for me. Maybe a 911 but I think I prefer the Jap cars really.

$40k (fully loaded Rav4 lawllll) gets you:
-Your pick of M cars M2/M3/M4
-Jag F Type S
-S5
GTR/911 is more like $65k, but I don't think they depreciate much if at all really.

In the end, it is just a Nissan that looks like a half-breed Mustang.Detroit wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 10:03 amStreet parking a GTR?Johnny_P wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 9:53 am

The only thing I like about the GT-R is they are quick, but the early trans issues, and the fact that they are a Nissan just turn me off.

I'm not saying it wasn't a good effort, I just don't have any faith in Nissan as a whole. If they did it right, the GT-R could have been something awesome. I feel like it's more like a 4th Gen Camaro though.Johnny_P wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 10:12 amNot wrong.CorvetteWaxer wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 10:07 am

Here's what has happened to my STI in 2 years of street parking it:
-Door ding likely caused at work. But could happen in any parking lot situation.
-Hit by bicycle, bumper corner needs a spot repair.
-3 parking tickets because I left it in a loading zone.
-Scratched the bumper because I leaned my mountain bike against it.
I dunno. The GTI fared worse. But I was parking the GTI in parallel spots because it fit literally everywhere. This I'm far more cautious and park it in pull-in or back-in angled spots.

Are they though? Mid 60k gets you one of the fastest vehicles ever built. Sure, they're equivalent to a previous gen Altima inside. And they're old tech at this point. But I dunno, they seem more interesting to me than a PDK 911 for no real reason other than Japanese built.max225 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 10:20 amThat’s not bad.... gtrs are great but too expensive manJohnny_P wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 10:17 am

I have been saying for years now that Cadillac needs to have the first fully autonomous vehicles. That's the ultimate luxury and would make them the world standard again. Anything less is a waste of time.max225 wrote:https://www.yahoo.com/news/exclusive-gm ... nance.html
Didn’t I just make a rant about this ? GM wants to bring Cadillac back to the forefront of innovation. And have them do the electric cars. This makes a lot of sense...
But it needs to make sense not like the rebadged volt for 2x the price they attempted before. It needs to be good, and it must be better than Tesla.... I hope they know that... but I don’t think it’ll get fully executed
Yea that price point is rough. It also gets you a comp package M3 which is a far better daily. It also gets you a variety of P cars. Does it matter the the gtr is that fast ? You can’t put that power down anyways within city limits. I’d pick the easier to live with fast carJohnny_P wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 10:24 amAre they though?
