I don't know if there have been other threads on humorous comments toward the GTR. I bet there have been some but I couldn't find any.

I have had my car less than 3 months and have had a lot of positive feedback. I have also had a few off the wall comments. My favorite so far has happened twice and I find it hilarious. These were actually sincere comments made by a drive through cashier and gas station attendant. They liked the car, but were definitely not car enthusiasts.

two weeks ago: "What kind of kit you got on there...looks kinda like a space ship. Is that a Z"


today: "is that a kit..." I started to say yes just for kicks....

There are about 4-5 others in town. People are not used to seeing this car, esp. with it's unconventional styling so they think it has some kind of body kit.

Please share any other funny comments......

my mother in law works as an assistant in a doctor's office and knows nothing about cars. but she felt necessary to brag to doctor's that I bought a fancy new car. When asked what kind, she said "I think it's Bentley". Two doctors with 25 years of experience literally stopped in their tracks and one of them left early another one was sleepless for 2 days (or so he said). I lol'd hard - told her it was a nissan. When she came back to the med office, that's when she found out how jelly these bastards were when they thought a young punk without med school and practice had better car than them.

some ppl... I had a nice laugh - told her - you should have said I got a Bugatti. LOL

While discussing the car with a bunch of older people at a car meet, the perfomance of the car came up with one guy asking "is it faster than the new Mustang?".
My response was to take this very nice older gentleman on a ride as the highway was very close.
When we came back, he got out of the car and the other guys quickly asked - "well is it faster than the Mustang?" - the older man said..."OH YEAH - try FERRARI fast!"

Oh well, it was an improvement...

The best one I got thus far is (mind you it was from my Haitian uncle) he said "since when did Nissan make such a car" followed by "that IS a Maxima" which I had to explain to him more then once Nissan does not only make Maxima's...............i love my people but good GOD! Nissan DOES build other cars then Maxima's lmao

For those from the islands you'll understand the "old school" menatlity lolz

Had a guy come up at the gas station. This is the conversation.

Guy: What kind of car is that?

Me: My Own

Guy: What's a My Own?

Me: I just made it in the garage this weekend and taking it for a test drive. Took me about 2 years to put it all together.

Guy: How much did you spend on all the parts and stuff?

Me: Just put car parts together from Cash for Clunkers. You know recycled stuff.

Guy: WOW that is awesome!

Me: Have to go and pick up some more parts. Have a nice day.

Guy: OK See you around.

my car was parked on the street and i was waiting for a person, sitting about 2 meters away from it when two little kids, age around 12 come by on skateboards, one says to the other something like "wow what is that?" the other, after coming closer and taking a look at the car responds "oh i know what that is, thats the new honda nsx!" i enjoyed observing them


the other funny comment i heard was again while standing not too far from the gtr, a group of 3 men approach it and start looking around for any clues on what kind of car it is (i dont have the nissan and GT-R logo back, just the front GT-R logo in the grill)...after desperately trying, looking inside at the steering wheels, etc. the 3 men came to the conclusion that it was "the maserati gtr" :D

I was at a restaurant and the waiter approached my table...

Waiter: Is that your black nissan out there

Me: yes

Waiter: What kind of car is that?

Me: a nissan
Waiter: What type?

Me: A GT-R
Waiter: What's that?

Me: A nissan
Waiter: Ok, I thought it was a Z with a body kit on it until I saw the wheelbase and realized it was too long to be a Z...
This went on for awhile as he came up and asked me questions about the car throughout the dinner, it was actually kind of amusing. I would tell him a little bit of information about it and I could hear him in the back telling all the bus boys about it. In a restaurant that was fairly full, I don't know how he picked me out as the guy who owned the GT-R parked in back, probably saw the backs seats and said there is know way anyone is sitting back there so it had to be a couple!!

My Sisters Pediatrician told her this "Ey, what car is that your brother has? I was next to him at the lights, then it went green, and before i could move, he was already gone" (He was driving an XFR, which are actually surprisingly quick, no match for LC4 though)

You should try messing with my XFR

Had it for a month, and no weird comments yet. Just people saying "nice car", "how much horsepower", "how fast have you gone".

I'm sure I'll get the interesting comments eventually!

I walked into the parking garage near my office where i park my GTR and to my horror i see a pickup truck parked in front of my car with 5 or 6 teens outside the pickup surrounding my car.As i got closer i clicked the key and the car came alive,the teens jumped back and saw me walking to the car. im hoping they didnt do anything to the car and as i got closer all they could say was "mister we love your car! weve never seen one before! i thank them and they start to get back into the pickup when one looked at the other and said"you see what i told you.....work hard and someday you can have one too! I looked over at them and said,It is all worth it especially when youve earned it.It really made me feel great to know that im in a great place.I wish this same feeling for all my fellow GTR owners! Enjoy Life!!!!

I agree! I was complimented by my neighbor who has a A5 on how nice it is to see hard working folks in the community, I complimented him right back since he does have a very nice car himself........it does feel good to be accepted as a hard working person compared to a spoiled brat! Mad props to the people who notice that we do work our socks off to afford the cars we drive

A couple weeks after buying it last year I was pulled over and the cop asked me if it was a new vette

At the car wash an older gentleman (who later in the conversation tells me he owns a dealership) tells me I have the nicest Cobalt he's ever seen....

Just a couple weeks ago I was at the casino and I come out to 2 older ladies, I would guess 70+ taking pictures of my car with their iphones....They were shocked it was a Nissan... just as much as I was shocked they could operate their Iphones !

I have had NUMEROUS (10+) people tell me it looks like a bat mobile... I dont get it!

Also the occasional "spaceship" comment due to noise and look... my tranny is high pitched and loud

Went into the petrol station a few months back

Cashier: Nice car man what is it?

Me: GTR

Cashier: how much that cost you?

Me: 280k

Cashier: Wow it looks like it

Me: <leaves with big smirk on face>
You know the 2012 Nissan GT-R actually cost 300k (yes, in US dollars) in Singapore!
A camry will cost about 100k, just for comparison.

Thankfully I am moving to Germany, where the GTR is more reasonably priced at about 140k for a 2012. I will buy a used 2009 though (should I do so), but I still expect to pay about 90k.

You guys in US are lucky that car cost so little.

Hot girl at gas station: "What kind of car is that?"
Me: "It's a Nissan"
Her: "Oohh I really don't like Nissans but this one is cool...From over there I thought it was a Bentley"
Me: "Nah Bentley's are for old men"
Her: smiles and says "don't let your GF drive it!
"

But 90% give me thumbs up and know exactly what it is.
