I guess some cars decades ago did have yearly refreshes, i'm assuming due to lack of sales each year. But in general it wasn't as common.

I think 3 refreshes over nearly 10 years of production is a pretty good sign of a car people love (180sx for example).

Yearly model refreshes, probably not so much of a good seller..

No, everyone did it back in the 50's/60's, at least among American manufacturers. Honda re-did the Fit after only selling it in the US for the 07 and 08 model years, they re-did it again with the next generation only getting 09-11 before a light refresh for 12-13 and a full new platform for 2015.

Generally three years is the mark for refreshing cars, whether popular or not, the goal is for the car to never get stale.

Unless your Chrysler or Japanese Chrysler (Nissan).

As old as the GTR is this thing is pretty damn dope.

^^^Not as ugly as that Vision GTR concept, but still pretty ugly.

*exitspeed* · 06-29-2018, 11:53 AM

Oh really? I love it.

BOROSUN · 06-29-2018, 08:26 PM

they should just call me instead.

no trunk? definitely. dont like those roof lines.
copoff the rear of gtr vision.

i saw the vision on Ginza nissan store. it's visually eye pleasing. i stopped numerous times just to gaze at it.

ronmcdon · 06-29-2018, 10:57 PM

I like the gtr concept, although i have mixed feelings about the flashy gold accents. It's a sleeker, more modern progression from the arguably outdated gtr. Of course, Nissan would be non-comittal about releasing anything, but I doubt anyone would be surprised or care enough to be disappointed at this point.

Italdesign has some more outrageous designs that I find a lot of fun and most likely polarizing. I love their Duerta based off the lambo huracan.

There are aspects that are improved over the R35 for sure. But the rear end makes me want to gouge my eyes out.

gbaby2089 · 07-02-2018, 09:33 AM

I'm into it.

But I also really like the R35.

The R35 is such a strange car for me. I LOVED it when it came out. Then from 2010-2016 I was not into it at all. Now I think it is neat again.

*exitspeed* · 07-05-2018, 11:23 AM

Its a strange time when badass GM and Ford cars are being replaced with Kia’s. Still linda mad i didnt get a Stinger.

ronmcdon · 07-05-2018, 01:32 PM

i would have buyer’s remorse too. The stinger’s a nice package for the money. Looks a lot nicer in person too, imo. I like it a lot more than what japanese manufacturers are offering today. Its like a poor man’s S5

I do love the shit out of the XC40oz though. Also, there’s so few of them I should be in super good shape for trading it in for a V60 R Design when those hit the dealers.

*exitspeed* · 07-07-2018, 08:44 AM

So the Supra is going to be in NASCAR.

NASCAR.

The ONLY positive I can gather from this is they seem to be using the MKIV Supra font, which is awesome.

The rest though is pretty tough to look at.

*exitspeed* · 07-09-2018, 08:10 AM

Hahaha Nissan thinks they’re going to sell the GT-R50 for $1,000,000.

Ya love the car but they’re on drugs with that price. I would just go buy a Ford GT and call it a day . Lol

I'd buy a house and a normal GT-R with that money.

ronmcdon · 07-10-2018, 02:01 PM

Its not goint to be hard for Nissan to lure in 50 more suckers.

jumpman2334 · 07-10-2018, 02:43 PM

that supra is hideous. I suspect that r50 will go the same way many LFAs did, some sitting unsold. as of last august there were 12 LFAs in the US that hadn't sold yet. I don't remember exactly how much LFAs were, but they are no where near 1 mil

lunchmeat · 07-10-2018, 02:56 PM

Lfa was north of $300k. And the more I see of the new supra, the more I don't like it. It's too...bulbous.

I believe that was just to lease it tho. IIRC you had to lease it for two years prior to purchase, this kept people from turning around immediately and flipping them. im sure you had to pay more once your lease was done to own the car.

somewhat related (but not to this thread), but I read a story recently about a guy who makes roughly 75k flipping dodge demons. hes on his fourth now, but it weird to see some car companies get so protective over their new creations, and then you have dodge who doesn't give two shits. lol

*exitspeed* · 07-11-2018, 07:14 AM

Because I'm in a weird sadistic mood.

Remember the time this almost happened and then Nissan shoved a knife in our side, twisted it around and then yanked it out?

Why bro?? Whhhhhhyyyyyy? You're pouring salt into a wound that hasn't healed..... not cool.

I had my heart set on this beauty sooooo bad!! I have to go and drown my sorrows now.

Jsal32 · 07-14-2018, 12:32 AM

...and why the hell is it still on their website as a concept vehicle. Such a fucking tease.

Wow, at least Nissan is planning a new GTR. They haven’t even started working on it yet though. Lol.

gbaby2089 · 07-14-2018, 12:34 PM

Am I the only one who was never, even for a second, excited about the IDX?

lunchmeat · 07-14-2018, 12:36 PM

Nope. Didn't even know it existed till I read about it here.
