[mkiv] 2009 Nissan GT-R - Full Test: InsideLine

[Larry M. Bryant]

I generally agree.
I also subscribe to the notion that I can get great performance out of my
MKIV with application of some $$.  However, ugly is forever.

When I first saw the car, it wasn't very appealing to me and I admit  
I was a bit disappointed. I've seen numerous pics of the car in  
different colors and some look better than others. I've softened a  
bit on my feelings about its looks now (didn't hurt to read some of  
the performance specs).

I'm generally overly critical on how cars look as I've appreciated  
the performance numbers of cars such as the Vette and the NSX but the  
styling has always turned me off. Both of those cars always seemed to  
me like the designers started at the front and got about 80% of the  
way finished and then didn't know how to finish it at the rear. Kind  
of like a movie or book with a horrible ending.

Perhaps it's unfair but I may be comparing it to the design of our  
cars and how I feel that the design is almost perfect. In contrast, I  
feel the ass end of the MKIV looks great (especially when compared to  
any of the 3 cars listed above). There are always gonna be cars that  
outperform ours (especially considering its age) but the vast  
majority of them look for shite compared to the Supra.
