They don't look that bad in the flesh...but they definitely have that yankie look about them..

what the **** happened to the front end...

Looks like the nose of the stereotypical alchoholic Roman guard in the Asterix comics - bulbous & ugly

Now's the time to buy one, bad luck for resale on any older models

Good to know. Was hoping for a ti L though. Run 33 or maybe even 35's. That'll be enough clearance.
Offered brand new drive away $75,000.(highest offers still wanted $85,000) Last week. I wonder what they will offer now with the new pricing  out.

Yours will hold its own for the rest of eternity and past that as well, as if you would part with it. 

If I had purchased a 62 in the last couple of months I would be very annoyed with Nissan, that's for sure. Maybe I could trade in the 200 and get some cash back for a full sick mod list

You've got that right GG. Any recent purchasers would rightly be well peeved......

Let us know how you go with that...

[achjimmy]

Iam not sure much has changed. I think you'll find they are just going to keep tighter to the list rather than discount the crap out of it. Iirc both ducati and mazda have been in strife with regulatory bodies doing something simalar in the past?  Maybe just not enough have been sold to bother anybody?

On a positive note its good to see they have moved the gear stick over to the proper side. Anybody with short arms would have struggled with the previous model !

Over the last couple of months the TiL has been selling for $75k so still cheaper than the new model. The first owners who paid over a $100k now have an almost 3 year old vehicle that's depreciated normally to $60ish thousand so again no issue. Check the depreciation on a higher spec Range Rover to give a new definition to "brutal".

half the price of a breadbox, and twice the car

[duggie]

I think that I will just keep me old GQ, can't afford a new one even with the price drop.
