You guys kill me, face the Veyron was built to show a car can be built to do what it can do and not compromise on appearance and everyday creature comforts. Anyone who know the heritage of Bugatti, they designed and built cars which push the limits of engineering during their time and people who bought them bought them because they could and set themselves apart from everyone else.

You have to ask yourself, what engineering challenges did Nissan have to over come with their car, most likely they just borrow ideas from other cars. Are you more impress with the fact GT-R cost less than a Veyron and does the 1/4 in 10 seconds or are you more impressed with all the engineering that went into the Veyron, and how many future cars will benefit from what was learn from the Veyron.

Face it any car anyone buys are compromises, no one gets it all in one car, yeah you can go 1/4 mile in a GT-R in 10 seconds but I can show you a Turbo Cumming Diesel pickup truck that can do the 1/4 in 9 second and it cost far less then a GT-R and you can haul stuff round the farm in it to. Just image going down the highway and some smart ass kid pull up to you with a black puffing Ram truck and honks the horn 3 time and blows your doors off your GT-R, bet you're not feeling too good about your 80K purchase.

Personally, I am more impressed with a pickup doing a 1/4 in 9 sec than a sports car doing the same thing.
