Pete Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 ....where does it say its been canned? On the Interweb thingy. During testing it's been found to be too fast and more fun than an adult human can cope with so it has had to be withdrawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl0s Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Far, I think that's one of the very old first initial pictures, of what turned out to be the Lexus LFA concept car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cable Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Is it me or is the Japanese sports car industry going stale? I mean look what cars were around 10 years ago, RX7, 300ZX, Supra, GTR, EVO, S14, GTiR, NSX etc. The only thing to buy now are 350Z's and RX8's, whilst being nice and all they seem a bit tame compared to the bad boys of the past. You could say EVO's and Subaru's still but they've been done to death and I've lost all interest in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just read the man in Japan in this months JTuner who says exactly the same and how in Japan low mileage slightly older cars are going for premiums because there's nothing much new and interesting. Toyota don't even sell a sports car at the moment with the Celica and MR2 being discontinued. Next year though we've got a radically restyled Evo and Imprezza, Skyline GT-R, rumours of a new RX7 and of course the new Supra and LF-A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really into EVO's/Imprezas and I don't think even the radical new designs may help. The new GTR however would be nice but as with the new Supra or RX7 they're gonna be vastly out of my price range for a long long time. I see your point though and hope this new revolution in jap cars wont just be limited to the above models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 The new GTR is a horrible looking car. There's some pictures here. http://www.worldcarfans.com/spyphotos.cfm/spyphotoID/6061010.003/country/jcf/nissan/spy-photos-nissan-skyline-gt-r And some video. Not a manual either.... http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/GeneralFuture/articleId=117104?tid=edmunds.il.home.photopanel..1.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kip Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Where have they gone wrong? New GT-R looks like a beefier 350 - Yuuuk! Bring back sleek, curved, sexy shapes - pleeeeese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cable Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 From other pictures I've seen of the GTR I actually like it. It is similar in shape to the 350Z (uses the same floorpan) but beefier. I deffinately think that it will be something that grows on you and it doesn't help with all the black stuff stuck to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying that the Old GTRs are "Curvier" than a 350?? Id hate to see your ideal woman, she'd look like Kryten from Red Dwarf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
