Bring back the Nissan 200. A nice affordable sports car. And watch your sales go through the roof. People want a hot sports car that goes fast and is not to expensive.

Nissan has been making great sports cars even if they’re beaten elsewhere. The Z worked fine upon its revival. Godzilla may cost about 150K here, but so does that Commodore with a Z06 engine. Its main threat is the BMW M3, a slower but more fun, versatile everyday car. The GT-R is deemed as the Gran Turismo game that’s come to life, perhaps a raw track car, but beating the 911 Turbo at the Nurburgring yet asking for only a fraction of the cost is really something.

The Problem here is the badge and the fact it will be sharing the same showroom space as a Micra

It does not matter what you think John Hoe – we would like for this to be under 100K period…………… your are in effect buying a grunt car without prestige(Nissan)…Besides Japan should be more worried about how it can turn aroung more sales and the most effective way is $$$$’s…..that’s all……….:)

Belislav,

Look mate, foreign manufacturer set the price of car depending on the market size. In this sense your comment saying foreign manufacturer treat Aussie customers cash cow is a not really a correct statement to make. If Australian car market is much bigger, car price should reflect the fact! How we can expect Nissan to sell GT-R for A$75,000 here while its expected sales volume is probably 1/100 or even less than Japanese market while marketing cost here is as much as Japanese market??

Regardless of how much of a GT-R diehard I am the only thing that will stop me from buying one is the price. Nissan, along other foreign manufacturers(Mazda, Honda) tend to treat Australian customers like cash cows. The thing the Nissan Australia should be aware of is the demise and a failure of three previous so called japanese supercars. Nissan R32 GT-R, honda NSX and Mazda RX-7. They both sold for a prety penny, and ultimately they all failed to attrract a sufficient number of buyers. Since this new GT-R is being sold for A$75,000 in Japan Nissan Australia cannot simply justify some crazy price, and a huge premium for the vehicle when it arrives to our shores.If this GT-R starts pushing mid 100K when it finally starts being imported it will ultimately fail. Why would anyone require a 300km/h car in Australia that costs a fortune, and that is a Nissan after all. The people that buy these 100K plus cars would always rather get a Porsche Cayman or Audi S4/RS4 or even some hot AMG Merc or BMW. Nissan, please surprise us GT-R fans by actually making it affordable and sub 100K.

As a Nissan Dealer, we are often being asked when Nissan will be bringing the GT-R back.

We hope its soon, because there are a lot of die-hard GT-R fans out there wanting more first hand experience of this car in Australia.
