Nissan announced that it received more than 2,200 advance orders for the new Nissan GT-R. The initials plans of Nissan were to sell around 200 cars a month. Some of the statistics say that the preferred version is the Premium and the color of choice for most buyers is the Pearl White.

Nissan Press Release:

Advance Orders for Nissan GT-R Exceed 2,200
- Strong Demand for Skyline Coupe Fueling
Sports Car Revival in Japan -

In less than two months since pre-orders were accepted for the all-new Nissan GT-R in Japan, orders have already reached 2,282,
exceeding by a factor of 11 the planned monthly sales total. GT-R goes on sale in Japan on December 6th.

The rise in demand for sports cars in Japan has also been boosted by the all-new Nissan Skyline coupe, which went on sale October 2nd. Orders for the coupe stand at over 2,400 against a planned monthly sales total of 200 units.

Both the GT-R and Skyline Coupe have been positively received by both enthusiasts and consumers who previously were showing little interest in sports cars. Information and access to these new sports cars has been comprehensive, with dedicated websites set up for GT-R and the recent Tokyo Motor Show allowing customers to see both vehicles together for the first time. Websites, blogs and internet forums have been used extensively by consumers in Japan to share information and discuss the new cars.

"It is encouraging to see that Japanese customers have been inspired by these new sports cars from Nissan," said Kaji Yoshimitsu, Marketing Director for Skyline and GT-R. "Nissan is a company with a long heritage of building passionate cars for enthusiasts, and we see the GT-R and Skyline Coupe bringing those customers back to the showroom," continued Yoshimitsu.

Breaking down the pre-orders for the new GT-R reveals that 60% of the buyers are under 50 years old with the most popular grade series being the Premium edition and the most popular color being Pearl White (27% of all orders).
The all-new Skyline coupe is most popular in Pearl White (23.3% of all orders) with 70% of vehicles being either the 370GT Type S or Type SP grades. The buyer profile shows that 52.1% of Skyline Coupe customers are under 50 years old.

This means that pre-orders nearly already match the first full year of planned production. That's impressive.

Crimson92 · 11-15-2007, 04:14 PM

Like I've said before, I'm going to wait 3 years(after my lease) to pick up this car.

Same here this will be my next car, how good do you think it will be as a daily driver? My e92 that I got January 1st of this year already has 21k miles.

Crimson92 · 11-15-2007, 06:37 PM

I think it will be as drivable as a porsche turbo... maybe a little more bearable

Because, yes it is a great and powerful machine, but 5 years later it will look like RICE shit (like all other Japs) and will not be interesting any more... M3 (less $$$) will look great 10 years from now and will be considered as something special...

Once out of Jap crap, no turning back...just MHO...

Although the Corvette is completely different from the rest of Chevy line, I would never spend $70k on it, no matter what you get inside. Similar reasons as above...

Yeah, the "Jap" commentary is pretty offensive and only one step removed from those other terms. Sometimes you just have to ignore the ignorance.

I'd be happy to be driving a $70K GTR or Corvette and let other folks pay for a badge. It won't matter how good Nissan makes the GTR or Chevy makes the Corvette, there will always be a few lost souls whose prejudices won't allow them to appreciate these cars.

...and it looks like $100k+ may be the going price with mark-up, at least for the first few months...
