If they're going to sell every single one allocated to come here-why not get what you could get and make it as profitable as it could be. Real world conditions being where they are, an extra 30 grand per GTR would offset 6 Titans sold with $ 5000 in rebates on 'em. I don't know how many GTR's they're planning on selling...let's say 5000-that's a whole lot of cash. 150 million, anyone? That money will be made alright-by the a$$hole dealerships. Sort of the same reasoning why I don't think Ferrari should make an entry level car-waiting lists are a great thing, boys and girls. Just because a company is doing fine today doesn't mean tomorrow will be as bright. You've got to make hay while the sun shines, and if you can sell this thing for more-you should do it-for the financial well-being of your company.

They buy an early serial number and wait to see what the demand is going to be. If it works in their favor a buyer will come along who isn't willing to wait for the next available serial number according to the manufacturer, and pay them more than the original deposit price in order to get that position. Pretty sure we've got the same thing going on here. It’s quite common in business aviation for interested parties to put deposits on new aircraft just to hold that position in the assembly order.

Even though the Audi R8 is more expensive and slower, I would buy that car over the Nissan GT-R in a heartbeat.
