Wad? They let you test drive a 2012 GT-R? Where?

Pinnacle Nissan in Scottsdale. Thank god they did because I didn't like the car enough to buy it. Other dealers said, "You want to drive it? You buy it."

a car that gets very poor gas mileage.
There are places that will let you test drive the GT-R 2012.

The Nissan in Glendale, CA will check your credit and will decide from there.

Same with Universal City Nissan in Studio City.
They've got about 8 or so GT-Rs on their lot, two of them Black Ed's.

Same here, the turbo lag didn't bother me enough, but I really needed more room in the backseats. Also wanted the interior to have at least a hint of luxury.

But this car was all sport/race.
If that's what you're looking for, this car is a great bargain.

As far as the new lap times for the F10 M5, those are pretty amazing. No doubt. If the new F10 is that good (handling wise) while still being livable in every day situations, I may be a buyer. At the same time, the 2010 E63 handles extremely well while still being very comfortable day to day.
While the handling of the W212 is definitely an improvement over the W211, the tranmission is still basically the 7GTronic without a torque converter (insert clutch here). The DCT in the M5 was built from the ground up as a Dual-Clutch setup.
