Quote: "The Noble is a cracking car. I would say superb for the money. But I would rather have the GTR, because it's less likely to break down, it'll be more practical, it's a bit more understated also. While the Noble screams "flash supercar", when you pull up next to a bunch of girls and they go "oooooooooo! What's that?" and you say "Noble M15", they'll look all confused, because you didn't say Porsche, Lambo or Ferrari. "
It's cool that average joes and josephines don't know the manufacturer. M400s just look totally badass. I'd want a dark grey one with black wheels. If you really care about badge kudos, then if you say it's a "Nissan GT-R", they'll hear "Nissan blah blah blah", which doesn't carry a lot of weight anyway.
I quite like that the Nissan has all that computery stuff. It can make a car feel a bit crappy- like how Gran Turismo isn't fun with the aids turned on. But i hear the Nissan has good aids rather than bad aids, and is fun to drive about in.
Given the choice i'd rather have a two seater than a four/five seater, so i didn't have to give people lifts. Also, if i bought a super-flashy fast car i'd get some proper driving lessons and visit the track. Otherwise it's kind of pointless and irresponsible having a car like that. I'd be kind of embarrassed.
