[s-cars] My butt momentarily in a BMW

[Taka Mizutani]

Scott-
The R35 GT-R is a definite go for the US market- it's definitely coming,
it's going to be about $70k, plus dealer markup.

IMO, if I had the cash to do it, I'd buy one- nothing comes close for the
money, even though the car is butt-ugly. The side and rear views just don't
work for me.

They're also apparently going to make it very hard to modify the car-
they've made a concerted effort to lock down the ECU.

I don't think Audi and BMW are the ones in trouble, they're gunning straight
for the top- Porsche is going to have some problems.

I can only hope that the GT-R stickers for just under $70k- if I hit the
Mastercard giveaway, I could have two GT-Rs. :-)

Taka
