Notice anything different?

2012 Nissan GT-R Facelift First Image: (from Lethistorylive.com)
The Japanese automaker is ready to present us a 2012MY version of it`s successful sport model. Nissan has restyled this model`s front bumper with LED running lights and a new rear diffuser, changes that help improving rear downforce by 10%.
The GT-R 2012MY is equipped with a brand new set of Rays forged aluminium wheels – they say that these new wheels save a total of 12 kg.
The new version of the car will some interior upgrades, engine and chassis improvements, but the Japaneses from Nissan don`t give any details about these modifications.
The previous version of the GT-R was powered by a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 that developed 485 Hp and 434 ft-lb of torque. This monster car lapped the Nurburgring in 7 minutes and 35 seconds, placing in the top along with other supercars.

I saw a GT-R in the wild for the first time the other day. Looks and sounds pretty mean, but the driver was lame. He held us up behind him on the highway onramp, putting like he forgot to accelerate, and then blasted from 80-140 as soon as he got on the actually highway. Boo!

Until it comes with three pedals I won't like it. I can respect it, but I won't like it.

Meh, the GT-R is designed to be the fastest, easiest to drive, everyday supercar in the world. The SMG completely fits with its character, so it doesn't bother me in the slightest that there's no 3rd pedal option.
I would make a bicycle racing analogy, but no one would give a shit.

Despite a preference for manuals, I actually agree. It bothers me a lot more that the 458 is paddles only, although Ferrari has also chosen the technology path.
The GTR and Gallardo are the fastest point-to-point options going around. I guess the Porsche Turbo and TT should be there, but they don't seem as popular in tarmac rallies for some reason.

Swerve- My hope has been emancipated, and I'm reconstructing my anguish.
