Looks like a GM interior. Looks like hard, dull plastic and fake chrome.
I'm getting spoiled by not living in the city anymore. Wondering more and more what's the point of ultimate performance.
In Chicago, I'd "get into it" almost daily. Driving through traffic was a competition sport.
These days, I just like a nice cabin with a nice stereo.
I'd get a C2S or a used Turbo in a few years over this. Or an S5.
I absolutely loathed the ubiquitous Nissan steering wheel with the fake metal inserts.

Stare at the road where you are supposed to. Out of 150 factors, I like the interior the least, let's talk about that! THE CAR IS 70K DOLLARS. Go buy a porsche if you want a better interior and worse performance for more money. It's still a nissan afterall, what do you expect it to look like? A ferrari?

people it's $70K which is peanuts for performance.
Recall the Vantage costs about 2x
In other words you are paying $70K for this or a Z06 for all around better performance but you are paying +$60K for a Vantage (?) which is nice but not worth another $60K for the interior.
Similar with a GT3 probably nicer but not a lot nicer. I am not one that thinks a Porsche has over nice interiors.
I will be the first to say a Ferrari is nicer but not any better performance (I won't get into driving feel which is a big part of it).
Think of this as a nicer STi/EVO interior (I would say) for a car with a 20 mph quicker trap speed.
Jay Leno in R&T talking about the Z06, how people rag on the interior he's like it's a $70K car! go buy a living room set with the money.
I will grant you other cars have nicer interior to a GTR but none that cost so cheap or that are so quick. Recall the M6 costs a cool $100K (that's $30K extra for a bit nicer interior?)
