Good numbers. Not a pretty face though.

Just got to check one out at the New York auto show last week. Pretty impressive in the flesh. I wouldn't call it beautiful, but those points that made me shake my head a bit when looking at the pictures seem to work pretty well when viewed in person. Specifically the roofline and front end actually look worlds better than in the pictures. I think this is specifically because the photographers often take these shots from down near the ground for dramatic effect.
If one normally looks at vehicles when supine, then the GT-R has real faults. Standing up, however, it gets a thumbs up from me. It's pretty much in-your-face styling, but it works.
And talk about a halo car! The Nissan exhibit was absolutely more crowded than any other manufacturer, by quite a good margin. Of course, people were leaving shoe prints all over the Sentras in an effort to get to the GT-R, but hey, traffic is traffic.
