Marketing genius, Carlos
Ghosn, broke the news at the New York auto show on Wednesday, April 12th,
2006 that the next GT-R will be sold under the Nissan nameplate and it WILL
be sold in the United States.
The all-wheel-drive turbocharged supercar is one
of the most highly anticipated launches in history, having been covered and
speculated on by nearly every automotive media outlet. It has appeared
on dozens of magazine covers and it has drawn worldwide reviews.
Although many
speculated that the car would be more likely sold as an Infiniti due to the
car's possible high-end price, it will stay true to its roots and come as a
Nissan. All in all,
the Nissan
GT-R has a long-standing legacy as a Nissan and although it was a
difficult decision for Nissan management to make, it is one that will be
applauded by thousands of GT-R enthusiasts around the world.
The car is scheduled for launch in
December 2007
in Japan, followed by the United States debut in June 2008.
