On to the arguement about people willing to plunk down 60k at a Nissan dealership. Things have changed people. Chalk it up to the Titan and the Armada coming in at the 40-50k range and people buying them Nissan will have no problems putting a 60k car on the showroom floor and getting interested parties.
Times have changed folks and there are a lot of well off disposable income people right now that will pay. Plus do not expect the GTR to be a high volume deal. They will probably only make 10-20k of them in the first year at most.

Exactly... 40-50k isn't as much as it used to be. I thought this car was going to be in the neighborhood of 80-100k?
