TwiBlueG35, uhmm, there's a price difference between the GTR and M3. They are different cars and both very good cars.
Although the price of both cars have not been announced yet, their presumed price difference is not that much, around $10,000. If 335i and G35 could be considered the same class even there is a $10,000 price difference, GTR and M3 could definitely be considered the same price range. Now, both cars are all new for 2008/2009, both are two door with four seats, high performance sports car which could arguably be the fastest car in their respective companies with 400+ horsepower. If it is legitimate for people to consider a 6.2L V8 4 door C63 AMG and a 4.0L V8 2 door M3 to be the same class, then why not a 2 door 3.8L TT GT-R? If it is okay to consider a AWD RS4 and a RWD M3 to be the same class, then why not a AWD GT-R?I don't see why I can't compare them.

I can't tell you how many "I just priced an "x" out and it's "y" less expensive than "z" car posts" I've read, but I still don't know how anyone comes up with a 10k diff between the G37 and 335i. If you comparably equip them you're lucky to get a 6k diff; moderately equipped it's under $4k. Here in Canuckistan they are less then $2k apart.
