I can't tell, but where I live (Stuttgart) if I wanted to turn heads, I'd drive a GT-R, 911 and SLS are a common thing, nothing special, even though not everybody can buy one, and everybody would like to own one. Look at Maserati, quantitatively it is a worse car than the BMW 6 Series, yet costs much more and is more special. GT-R is like the 6 Series, but has to compete with the bigger boys, which are much better than a Maserati also on quantitative level. To make clear, a Porsche is in all ways better than a Ferrari, yet the later is still considered to be the ultimate sports car.
