Suv (4x4) R35 Gtr For The Us Market Wtf!

[Nick033]

that is a shit stain on the underpants of the GTR legacy

[Proximity Motorsport]

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

Kill it!

[Owgasm]

it will happen.

[OFENSV]

Nasty!! Ugliest thing ive ever seen!!

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.

[_8OO5TED_]

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!

I like the front end, thats about it.

[_8OO5TED_]

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!

WWWWWWWWW TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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?

[Howie]

I was just saying to my brother last year that bringing the GTR to the states would stuff it up ... here's the proof.

[Marco-R34GTT]

If this happens I'm going to top myself....

[nissanskyrice]

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)
