good ol' Nissan vs. Toyota rivalry. Ever since the 70's .. at least, most recognizably

does lf-a stand for anything? or just some letter badging? either way sounds like some sickness

nice, if there about the same, I'd take the Lexus over the Nissan, looks 1000 times better IMO.

no ones really 100% sure yet what the Nissan will look like, I really cant see them just rebading and changing a bunch of little things on G35 and calling it a GTR

Hopefully they got a sick design for the new one, but as far as I'm aware they will look like this...

that was the first concept designed by Nissan, but the car they have running agianst the Lexus right now looks like this

Oh ok, thank god, wasn't really liking that concept, and that G35 looks like ass with that kit on it, but like you said, I'm sure its a shell so they can test the engine out on the track without people getting spyshots.
