I visited the Nissan showroom in Ginza, Tokyo and they had all 6 six colors on display; three shades of silver, black, red and pearl white. The car is very nicely put together (no surprise-Japanese) the interior is at or exceeding Porsche quality ( I owned a GT3). The appearance in person is better than the photos in that it looks less radical and is surprising long and wide; front seat room is comfortable (I am 6'-1'') Trunk space is decent, back seat is deep, meaning you actually can put a small adult back there for a short trip assuming the front passenger is not tall; rear seat are fixed and don't seem to fold a la Porsche. There are few options available- a premium version (Bose sound, Bridgestones, and few minor items), a standard version with Dunlops, and a 'Black Version' with the red striped seats and black headliner with the premium wheels (tinted dark). If you believe the initial reports in Top Gear and Winding Road, it is hard to understand how Nissan can produce a car with this performance of a 911 Turbo for $50-60k less and be profitable. Unless of course one simply looks at the pay package of Porsche's Mr. Wiedeking's Euro 70mm and the option codes for a 911!
