Do a search for Porsche's warranty terms. They're significantly less restrictive than the GT-R's.

The market price is what it is. I assume the markup is driven by Nissan's desire to get a bigger slice of the market value pie, instead of letting their dealers get all the excess margins.
Commodity prices have been increasing quite significantly as of late (esp. carbon fiber w/ all the Boening Dreamliner demand), but I don't believe that nearly justifies the extent of the hike.

the paddle shift tranny with dual clutch will cost more in maintenance late. it's not reliable as classic manual tranny.
Yawn.

I agree. From my experience, Nissan has rolled out the red carpet for all things GT-R--it seems they are taking every precaution to ensure that the brand is not tarnished by any potential design flaws. They are extending courtesy rental cars exclusively for GT-R owners, etc. I would be very surprised if they wouldn't stand behind their product if/when something should happen knowing the potential of ruining the reputation of the GT-R. When you consider the fact that they won't even let their regular sales people sell the car, I feel the service will be on par as well--I'll let you know in the upcoming months!

I've seen the $1200 GT-R transmission service estimate in VTach's trunk! Reliability vs. a conventional manual is TBD, but there's no denying the fact that they're more complexity/potential for shit to break.
It's very cool, though, so I'd prob. be willing to take that risk.
