I think offering exterior options like a rear spoiler delete, or a lip spoiler substitution, or alternative exhaust finishers etc., could go a long way in making the GT-R less run-of-the-mill. It isn't so much of a "build your own" as it is a test of your ability to check boxes.

Fair enough. Posted before thoroughly reading the post, so guilty as charged

I actually cant stand it when people swap newer generation OEM seats into older generation models. It just never looks right

how to half-ass a US to Euro bumper swap...

wouldn’t be the first time (sorta...)

The screen is built into the dashboard? What a genius concept Mercedes. What gave you such the brilliant idea? I would have suggested nailing a Garmin to the dashboard, but this seems...right...

what an awkward segway from an intricate infotainment center into an awkwardly dull passenger-side dashboard

Neutral: if VW wants to start with a clean slate and a clean slogan (pun intended) from this point on then they should stick to their underlying brand agenda from the very beginning, but remind us that they are aware of their promises

So that rhetoric applies to virtually anything not an econo-box then. Gotcha.

Honestly, how hard can it be at this point? GM essentially already did this with their GMT 900 platform.

but this actually looks good...

This center-console shift speaks too highly of privilege and fortune. Make it a column-shift

and the bad news is god-forbid you get a broken collector stud or crack in the manifold, you need a new cylinder head. Sometime less parts isn't always the simplest and easiest

yeah so these usually do the most good when they are within easy reach, so you know, NEAR THE DRIVER

what are you?

For this car apparently being right down the street from me, unfortunately I have yet to have seen (or heard) it in person.

definitely digging the driver-oriented interface, which is very interesting considering how much it is decidedly not a driver-oriented vehicle

a flowing design, in the sense that vomit is flowing out of my mouth

if you think that doesn’t leave a lot on the table, there is no table when it comes to Chrysler’s bread-and-butter Pentastar V6. The cylinder head and exhaust manifold are literally a singular entity.

It wasn’t enough to copy Ford so you just had to copy Soap Shoes too...
