The difference between the GT-R and an RS4/M5/M6 is prestige bro. We know the GT-R is a great performer based on reviews, but at the end of the day, it won't carry the same perceived value as the cars you mentioned, especially to the buyer who could care less about 'Ring times (..which encompasses majority of the potential buyers).

So lets argue all night! It's 10AM here. lol.
We arrive at the conclusion that Americans need comforts, style, and a brand from an expensive company in order to justify spending that much on a car?
