According to the interview from Racer.com, they did NOT rebuild the thrashed chassis. They built a new one entirely from scratch.

Yeah, honestly I would do immoral things for a Juke R

Just here to say I love the Juke and I don't care who knows it.

We're boned. So extraordinarily boned.

Funny, there's three British men that seem to do this quite often. I think they even film their exploits.

Though I do think it would be appropriate for Nissan to debut a new GT-R in Gran Turismo, and I hope someday that they would, I think this will be a Vision GT.

Is their taste worse than yours or of somebody else if they like stanced Accords?

I can point an expensive camera at expensive cars, too. But can you point a cheap camera at cheap cars and make it look good?
