Damn right. nissan making the same mistake Toyota did. Mr T stopped the Supra, and MR2 Turbo, and had nothing really to replace them with. Nissan have stopped the R34, a stonking car, and replaced it with what looks like a sporty coupe. it just doesn't scream SKYLINE GT-R like the old one did!

damn that Z tuned Skyline has $20000 damper system

well look the RX7, 300ZX, SUPRA, 3000GT(GTO) they all died out around the same time becasue who wanted to pay 50000+ for a JDM car
now those companys are bring them back the RX8, 350Z and making them more affordable

but the SUPRA and Skyline i bet are gonna be 50000+ cars though

I can't understnd that logic. Why would you pay x amount for a highly tuned car from Germany, Italy, etc, but not from Japan? Its all badge snobbery. look at the NSX. One of the best cars of all time. Reliable 'supercar', with fantastic handling. But no-one wants one. They feel its a fake ferrari, rather than a real Japanese sportscar... badge snobbery. Quite pathetic really! I wonder how many people know that Lotus is owned by Proton??

u kno why no one buys the NSX its not worth the money
it has a really out dated body its like wut 15 years old
not enough power for the price 90000+ for the NSX
and its a JDM CAR

i rather cough out a lil more and buy a Porsche GT3 Styles (MSRP: $100,695)

have you ever driven one? I have , and they are absolutely brilliant to drive. handling is absolutely perfect. It gets to 60 in around 5 seconds. Same as a 911. As for the bodyshape, yup... a bit dated, but so is the 911 remember! Again, you mention it is JDM, and thus you won't buy it. Why not? The Japanese make some of the best cars in the world. Why is this a bad thing?

Or you could sped 25K on an ariel atom, and batter hell out of both of them! My point is that the NSX is a great car. Its probably amongst the finest, most perfectly engineered bits of kit out there, but because of pathetic badge snobbery, it never did well. its a shame. By the way, the NSX is certainly not underpowered..
