Nah, probably a GPW S2000 and a Honda Fit.

Oh wait, you said GT-R. I got confused there for a moment

Come to think of it, I think GT-R would make for a very cool ride for Mr. Bond

Everything about the GT-R tells me that it is not a car I would like.

Too heavy.
No stick.
Awkward sightlines (though I honestly haven't sait in one yet to see what it would be like)

And yet...I am utterly fascinated by the car for some reason. I kinda want to drive one just to see if I would like it.

I equate flappy paddle transmissions to having a player piano.

I too would like to try the GT-R. Not sure how much I'd like or dislike the flappy paddle transmission. The only paddles I've operated are on Ellen's Fit and on an Acura RDX.

What blows me away though is their engineering. To get a car that heavy to hold so much speed through a corner is cool and I can imagine that it lacks involvement courtesy of all the gizmos.

Still find it hard to believe Suzuki has not brought the Swift stateside.
