yeah i like it. I think its good, just like a stagea almost... hahaa gtr suv... insnt that wat a stagea is. Agree not best looking but meh, bet it looks better in life.

If there is a market that will sell tens of thousands then i can see it happening. What i cant see happening is it having the GTR badge or too many common panels. Some driveline components, perhaps engine less turbos or different state of tune and some styling hints of the top of the range GTR will see it being a huge seller. This equals Nissan profitable again and we may get a decent Silvia replacement s budget rwd sports coupe

im only going to say it once....... UG-LY

But what do you expect doesnt one of those french euro trash companys that make those fugly so called cars own nissan now?

im willing to bet they had something to do with this like that abortion of a car Tiida

Like the proposed Infiniti sedan, if they make a SUV out of the PM platform there's no way it'll be badged as a GT-R. Ghosn wants the GT-R to be exclusive. It doesn't mean its tech has to be.

The Z33 and the V35 / V36 share the same platform, but there's almost no sheet metal or interior trim (aside from the shift knob and surround) that's common. Both cars are popular in their markets, and profitable despite only sharing the FM platform.

And those pictures look like something a student at a Photoshop crash course would have churned out on their first day or two. They look too much like a stretched and squished GT-R, rather than a separate car. At least that sedan, while having GT-R cues, still looks like a different car and is at least somewhat plausible.

This just sounds like a "Infiniti wants an AWD four door based on the PM platform, what flights of fancy can we come up with for the American market?"

I'd guess that, in a few days, someone is going to post pics of a "GT-R dual cab pick-up truck" to compete against the TRD Hilux and Holden Crewman, etc.....and we'll see another thread on SAU full of posts about how its ruining the GT-R name.

You're all forgetting about stagea's.......... also have the RB26DETT in them and they're a 4wd type car........

That's still ugly though and i'm not for it.

yeh, im all for making a sports SUV with a VR38 in it, but dont call it a GTR.

agreed, as long as there is no GTR badge on it, then do it.

Will be $50K+ cheaper than a Cayenne Turbo and they are an ugly looking thing too.

helical style burnouts in a gtr style SUV would be cool!

the Cayenne isnt called a 911T, so this shouldnt be consider a GTR.

Nissan must really have it out for Porsche, trying to beat them in everything!

Good idea, and plenty of people will buy this in Fat Land. But don't call it a GTR, bloody Nissan d!kheads.

Whats the point of the GTR, a sharp, tech-filled, manga designed rocket that gets super-sized and slow so people like Oprah can look fat inside it?

Good idea as the Murano's big brother. Bad idea as a GTR.

IDEA: How about calling it the Nissan XXL?

if they do it it wont look like the gtr and it wont be badged as one. just like the stagea. itll probably look more like the murano piece of crap but go much faster. if they made it look the same and badged it the same the GTR name will lose all its exclusivity, and supercarivity. (yep its my new word)

    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
