The R35 is a status symbol.

Many of the people buying the first ones are wealthy.

 

it is status symbol for us b/c we are into JDM fast cars , but for people who has tons of money, they want something more exotic, like Enzo Ferrari and Bugati Veyron or Pagani Zonda.

 

If you show up in hollywood, those rich people will def. recognize ferrari more than a nissan skyline. But I will get a nissan GTR over anything else b/c of the performance. But for very rich people they can afford cars 10 times cost of skyline.

 

Several people buying the GT-R already have Gallardos and Porsches. It is a status symbol whether you believe it is or not. It's status as a cult icon is something that intrigues people.

Of course it's not the same as Ferrari. It carries a different aura. But the GT-R is making headlines and car enthusiasts are getting to know what it is. It's beating most all other cars in performance tests. It outperforms the exotic status symbols and many owners of these other cars are among the first buyers.

 

sure, the nissan skyline is making its way there, and it's status symbol for people who's into cars. And yeah, tell me about it outperforms many exotic cars, i am a japanese and I grow up with these car in my country. And my evo MR outperform so many expensive cars as well.

 

everyone always wants to have the newest and fastest.. just in case



not that there's anything wrong with that

 

New hot car and some new hot chick to go with it, now nothing wrong with that
