I agree. At least make the damn console look like a stickshift (like the SMG). Sorry, but just that one small part -where the shifter is - kind of reminds me of an Avalon.

Yeah, and the maintenance costs must be a b!tch. I wonder if none of the Hawaii Nissan dealers get certified to sell this car, how would you service it then? If it's only 1 dealer, I hope its New City Nissan cuz at least they're fair; Tony's AG's a total ripoff.

I'm on the fence about the shifter. If you see the Modenas they have this little ridiculous "T" shifter that a 5 year old girl can rip out.

I checked the website and it looks like fluids are all special and probably cost an arm and a leg. Brake rotors are proprietary from Brembo (read dealer only replacement). Tires are going to be a killer at 20" to replace as well as being special even among the run flats........but at least they got rid of that high trunk by deleting the replacement tire space. There is a blurb about there being free tune ups (engine, alignment, and tranny) after the first 1,000km and at 12/24/36 months, but you'll pay for it when the car is purchased......nothing is free.

I don't want to insult your intelligence by spelling out the abbreviations since you seem to know SO much about the military.

Wanna be sea lawyers....sigh
I was just about to post the same thing.

Don't sweat it guys, thanks for explaining it that guy. He doesn't know what an SOC with 14 years in with NECs 5326,5323 and a Critical Skills retention bonus is. I could have gotten 150K.

He probably doesn't even know what an SOC is.

Don't get worked up bro. I think he's a first or second year law student with aspirations of becoming Tom Cruise in A Few Good Men. He doesn't realize that IF he does commit to the military he will spend most of his time on DUI cases, power of attorney, and wills.

I don't know if the Blue Devil is going to be controllable. I've heard that the Z06 already is pretty nuts and they're going to bump up the torque on that monster. Crazy stuff.
