If you don't want two doors I also would go with a 911, the GTR is a brick. It will also depend on what driving you do too? I would never buy a GTR unless they got the weight down to at least 3000lbs or there abouts. Maybe the V-spec will be ok, but we will have to wait and see.

i've had too many lexus' and have never gotten sick of them nor will i ever...but this is a no brainer...get a GTR...on a side note...10k markup is the lowest i've heard. i've been quoted closer to 15k over and an instance where it was 25k over msrp. i feel that its rediculous to pay a mark up on a depreciating item. but hey 11.7 quarters might be worth it. cheers

After seeing this car in person at the auto show, it is one sic car.

I wouldn't mind adding this next to my ISF, but I can't imagine there is going to be many around and at a decent price, the waiting list is really long on my side of town. I'll probably wait for the second year production, because I'm more confident in Lexus for a first production run then I am with Nissan.

Hang on a minute....you just bought the IS and you're going to trade it in already (which is nicely modded and beautiful btw)?

Also, the GT-R is cool as is the IS-F, but I do not feel right about paying over sticker or even at sticker for a depreciating asset.

I'd wait until all the hype wears down and then start negotiating. Just my 2 cents.
