Top Gear's opinion

For all-round ability, I have no doubt the Nissan is the best car I've ever driven. It is almost as fast as the Porsche - which means it's almost as fast as any car on earth - and inspires more confidence through corners, yet it's also more roomy and practical and has a proper modern gearbox.

It's a big, solid car you can rely on when the going gets tricky, that you can thrash around a track, then set the suspension to soft, the transmission to auto, the Bose audio to full bass and potter into town without a trace of angst.

Oh, I nearly forgot - price. The 911 Turbo comes in at about £100,000, which is good value for such a stupendous car, but the GT-R will cost about £40,000 less than that when it goes on sale in the UK in 2009.

Mizuno-san is right. This car has no competitors. Not at any price.

And even at the higher price, still cheaper in the US than the UK.
Tax I guess.
