GTR in 604

It looks like at least there is one in the Vancouver area. Saw one downtown Vancouver (eastbound Georgia St. just coming out of Stanley Park) on Aug 8 stuck in rush hour traffic. First mistook it for an Aston Martin DB9 (from a distance), but, recognized the GT-R badge on the front when I got closer (going in the opposite direction).

Doubt I'll ever see one in person around here. Nearest dealer is in Quebec.

Yeah, it's extremely doubtful we'll ever see one here Deane. Heck, I haven't even seen a G37 in person yet.

No they're way too small volume stores. They have 1 Nissan store in Dartmouth and one in Halifax (monopoly as they do with Toyota/Lexus). I spoke to the sales managers and they said the investment wasn't nearly worth it relative to the market potential here.

I've seen one on the road and a few at the dealer. I don't think they're selling many at all.

I havnt seen a GTR on the street yet.. only in the Richmond (BC) Nissan Dealership.

That NSX sounds pretty sick tho, and from the supposid specs, its gonna put up one helluva fight with the GTR. Cant wait to see the Super GT cars battle it out.

....Also cant wait to see what Toyota has up its sleeve. Supra FTW.
