1.) An enthusiast
2.) Very well off.

P.S. Just because people with an M or 6 series can afford the GT-R, doesn't mean they will. The GT-R is a sports car. The M3 is a sporty cruiser and the 6 series is just a cruiser. Can't really compare them.

Do you consider yourself well off? IIRC, you just purchased a c63amg coupe, you are the 'people who didn't buy a GT-R' you chose not to buy it, the GT-R does not get chosen because it is too exlusive, rare, or difficult to attain. The GT-R is not chosen because most people are not willing to spend more than 40k on a Nissan sportscar.

I'm taking about inventory, market availability. Two very different things, number sold vs. number available, there are too many GT-Rs available to be throwing the term exclusive or rare, maybe back in 2009 was the vehicle exlusive or rare, maybe in 2012, when only a few hundred are initially available, but right now, looking around the various sources, you can't say that a GT-R is exclusive or rare, and stop comparing it to a civic, I was comparing it to a GT2. There are rare civics, mugen type R, probably more rare and exclusive than a GT-R.

I do actually consider myself well off. I didn't choose a GT-R simply because I didn't need a sports car. I want a comfortable sporty coupe that's quick, and fun to drive.

I'm confused, the GT-R is not comfortable and fun to drive?

If you've ever driven one, you'll know the GT-R has a lot more in common with a race car than something to comfortably drive every day. The drivetrain whines, the shifts make distinct clicking and clunking sounds and the ride is stiff. It's not everyone's cup of tea which is why it mainly appeals to car enthusiasts.

About damn time. I would of never opened a thread for a decision like this. 2013 GTR is a beast, where a M3 is not. 2 different vehicles IMO. Enjoy it. I would never ever ever ask a forum to make your decision. That is my opinion.

Nice. Based on your initial post I thought you would be a new owner soon. Did you get it from Jason at Boulder? I heard he already sold all 6 allocations he had in place. I think pricing will be released fairly soon.
