I remember when Leno had black hair with a white tuft, now its white wth a black tuft...
It's called a skunk look. 
That is the sharpest GT-R I've seen in any video, but still pales in comparison to seeing one in person.
Jay Leno is such a lucky bastard. He could buy any damned thing he wishes. A GT-R is chump change to him.

How is he a lucky bastard? The man is talented and hard working. You don't just become a famous comedian/tonight show host by being a lucky bastard.
David Letterman makes tens of millions each year, and he isn't funny or talented. I don't think Howard Stern is talented, but he makes hundreds of millions over the years.

It was interesting to hear Jay's take on the car.
Unlike Jeremy Clarkson, I find it hard to picture Jay being completely honest about the cars he reviews/drives.
That's what I like about Jeremy, no holds barred. Relentless praise and criticism with a British accented flair.
As an American viewer, no matter which American host is picked, you can't repeat that.
Still, I enjoy hearing Jay (a comedian car guy) telling others (car guys) what he thinks about the GTR.

But did you see how they said Nissan designed this car at its threshold. Of couse people will mod it, but I don't think this new setup will be quite as durable as the older setup.
Why couldnt they just bring us an rb26dett powered GTR to compete against the Corvette or something.

^ Because they have moved on. What would people say about the GTR having such an old engine? There are limitations behind everything. Don't you think the Nissan engineers thought of it? Think about it.
