Good thing you told me it was a facelift. I wouldn't have been able to tell otherwise.
Nissan just unveiled the facelift for the 2017 GT-R. this new look will only be available for the 2017 model year as the GT-R is planned to move on to the R36 generation the year after.
So what’s new? The front fascia features a more intimidating look with more grilles, slightly different side skirts and a premium interior.
I have a buddy that is a huge GT-R nut. It blew his mind when I told him I didn't like them. He couldn't comprehend it. He kept showing me all the cars it beats. Races it's won and so on.
To me cars are more than just numbers, and impressive as the GT-Rs numbers are, they don't make up for what is lacking. This facelift doesn't come close to fixing it either.

The R35 is the only car that I've driven in anger on track that was more fun to drive on a Xbox.
Have they done anything to bring down the operating and consumables costs? I've heard anecdotally that many of the high end super cars that compares to are much cheaper to maintain, and more DIY friendly.
Anything at that performance level is going to have high consumable costs. It's pretty hard to avoid.

Anyone who can afford a GTR just hears a long farting noise when you talk about parts costs, and anyone who is interested in a GTR hears C-span when you talk about DIY'ing work on a car
