No manual gear box. Just paddle shifts. (Sadly this is the future of cars, I see more and more cars going with paddle shifts over Manual transmissions)

I still think the r34 is the best looking of the series. This one is a bit too "rounded". I loved the boxy sports car look. The front grill reminds me of the new Mitsu Eclpise. However its perfromance/ price is incredible.

The real question is: Is anyone here going to get one?

My brother keeps telling me to get one. It really is an amazing machine, too bad I hate Nissan.

It will be US legal.

I really adore this car! I think its something you need to hear & see to make judgements. However I would never buy one due to no manual gear lever. I gotta have a clutch to actualy feel like im DRIVING the car... I don't want to be driven.

There are some really cool interior features, the big screen has a g-meter, so you could see how many g's you are pulling. Secondly, its is very incar modifyable. You can change a lot of things like your suspension, transmissions, and engine responsiveness, harshness, with a click of a button.
