I THINK JULIE IS AMAZING!  I LOVE HER!  SHE MAKES THE SHOW!

The Gtr is great, I drool for an affordable road rocket, but i think some sort of lottery or fair shot at getting one should be in place.

Are you guys aware that Nissan dealerships are pre-listing and charging up to 40K$ over sticker jsut to be on that list?

How could Porsche bring out a Hybrid for so cheap?

FLD!  Thanks for the LA coverage...  Here's an idea, ditch the on camera... ahem.... talent (?) and just get great coverage that you then lay an audio track over!  No more stutters or embarrassing mispronunciations of words like Cabriolet by a guy holding a mic.   And why is everyone so obsessed by the gimmicky computer system being plunked into the GTR's?  The car may be fast,  and full of worthless flash, but it's still just a Nissan.  Show me the super cars!  I miss you DD!

why arent you on the nokia s60 podcasts?
would be great if i could subscribe to you there...
GREAT SHOW... BIG FAN

Interesting cars.  I've seen enough of the audi every kind of vehicle in one prototype though.  You have a short show, and you already covered it!  Of course you've spent alot of time on the GTR though.  A little too much time today on it, actually.  Way too much techno, but then I guess the technophile with a fat bank account or daddy's mastercard would be the GT-R's target buyer.

Nice to see other marques going hybrid.  IMHO it won't be long before you see electric motors on other top marques.  I am surprised there are not more, not just to be environ-friendly, but electric motors seem like a useable way to overcome turbo lag...

It's funny you say people that buy porsches buying hybrid.  I am still at a loss that people are buying big bloated SUV porsches in the first place.  My guess is that they are going to buy hybrid cayenne's to rid their guilty conscience, or to say hey I am stylish and trendy, while still being a soccer mom poseur!

Who writes the opening music for Fast Lane Daily?  It's funny.

I miss Derek D :)

Aw he dizzed you Derek, whatcha gonna do about it?

Hybrid technology is nothing new to Porsche, just our generation.  Porsche decided to drop the hybrid because gas was cheap then.  http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/071114/20071114006427.html?.v=1

Hmmm, that concept Audi is getting a lot of air time.  Those wheels are sweet.

I wonder how many GT-Rs will be wrecked because of inexperienced drivers paying more attention to the information screen than where they are driving.  The gadets are overkill.  

did he say "tentative" for the US, why are we always getting robbed on HP ? 

POLYPHONY is too cool ! makes my Apexi data logger look like a commodore 64 in comparison ! 

are the gear ratios adjustable ? why have a gear ratio screen ? just for mpg ? blah. mpg in a 400+ supercar ? that like going to mcdonalds and getting a big mac extra cheese, with a diet soda ! LOL

good show. wheres that ugly ass hyundai coupe ?

@nealer: I'm with you, buddy!  We need to start a support group...  And if you like the electronic gizmos, check out the extended version on that other link!!!

I like the hybrid/cayenne and the GTR. thank you for putting up the spokepeople instead of using that idiot host to interview them. 

with the writers strike on, you'd think some actors would have extra time on there hands to host this. call Zach Braff....anyone else that can read a script on camera.  please.   

Yea, the GTR looks really neat with all the electronic gizmos...

that gtr is one sweet ride

You know there's something wrong when the people that buy Porsche's want a hybrid version. Holy crap . . . I can't wait to see the Nissan GT-R in person. All those electronic things inside are so cool.

Is the world going mad ... 

A Porsche hybrid (jury is out).
A covertible Audi SUV 
A me liking a Nissan ... GTR is growing on me ... a lot ... love the toys in it.

Great coverage guys - thanks!
