If the Nissan impressed you try the VW GTI, Mazdaspeed 3 and the MCS-the Sentra gets some good reveiws but often comes up as a little less compared to the others. I think it has mostly to do with interior quality but some have mentioned understeer and torque steer issues with the Nissan. Heck of a deal though.

I can't explain it, but I drove a Mazda 3, and it just felt cheap compared to MINI's. The MINI has the feel of a high-performance vehicle, IMO.

Here is an idea. Once you hit that 6th gear, try turning. Or stopping...

I hear you. Even if they had to badge it an Infinity to help sell something that expensive here, they should.

Of course Ford sold the GT's quickly so if they can do it.......

I've seen those pics from Max- I would imagine bringing one into CA and having all the DOT work done is not cheap either.

You just gotta watch out for a certain A86 on the downhill. That driver will stomp all over the Skyline.

the Vspec is their higher perf version of the GT-R.
i also hear Infiniti might release a G37 with GT-R's drive train (AWD) and
over 400hp.

im not sure were people are going to use all this power. i think 300hp
is the max usable power on the streets while reving spiritedly on a
3500lbs car within legal speeds. otherwise people are just going to
wrap their cars around trees and go over curbs bending wheels...
... or not.

for you guys with canyons and hill sides of socal AT's might be fun, but
for us in chicago with 99% straight roads, it needs to be MT to be
a 'fun' car.
