If it's an assembly line car weather it's $10,000 or $100,000 rest assured it's not perfect and they couldn't care less about someone willing to shell out that kind of money for it. 99% of the workers just care about their health benifits and a paycheck at the end of the week. I'll garuntee you (because I've worked in such places) they will not treat a $100,000 car any different than that $10,000 econobox going down the line. to them it's all just day in day out same ol same ol. And don't go fooling yourself they think any different about it because of the window sticker.

Wow, and I thought I was the one accused of having my shorts in a bunch. Sounds to me like you are talking about a big three plant...which is probably why the big three are going down the dumper (as is the rest of mfg. and our national greatness because no one gives a crap, especially the MBA CEO's and the gov't which is full of MBA CEO types now, including W.).

I have to say, from my point of view that is a good thing. If the car is suppose to be special then it cant sell in numbers. Certantly here in London things like BMW's, Audis and Porches esp. are ten a penny there is nothing exclusive or cool about them.

There is certantly some thing special about the larger Lexus esp. with the with the "h" on the back compared to your run of the mill TD based S class Merc.

Thanks for the video!! Great stuff to see in action!!

IT NEEDS A V8

Shame they underpowered an otherwise really nice car.

Back to the GT-R, that is an amazing amount of hand assembly in addition to the impressive attention to the paint.

I´m in the waiting list for one .....


Hope to get it soon.

That's actually part of the rumored fixes.

I thought the RL had something like 300 HP?

[SpoiledMan]

295-300 whatever. Not enough to haul the pig around. It could also stand to be bigger as there is just some identity crisis between it and the much faster and same sized TL.
