My 0-220km - 2011 Nissan Maxima

[McGherkin]

I don't think it's particularly ugly, but I don't think it looks special. Which is good because that makes it a sleeper and sleepers are cool.

And I always thought CVT's were meant to keep the revs constant, hence the 'gear shifts' threw me

Not much of a fan of CVT myself, but impressive, I'm amazed this car pulled it off (now to find the 0-220 km/h times of my father's BMW 330xi and my mother's Honda Odyssey). My father's BMW actually is pretty subtle, and it gives you a big kick if you push it.

I like cars that look innocent, yet they give you that big punch in the chest, the element of surprise is much greater, hence why I like the R34 Skyline GTR more than the R35 GTR (which is overrated imo, but still a nice car). Sleepers are awesome, you don't even need to worry as much about other vehicles challenging you to a street race, to say the least.

The R35 isnt overrated.. I testdrove one, it did 0-254km in 20secs flat!! Thats not overrated!

I think he means, it's one of the most awesome cars recently made, but people seems to keep it in higher level than it really is .. Hard to explain.

I understand the term "overrated". What I meant, when this "overrated" car can slay Merc SLS, Ferrari Italia, Porsche Turbo PDK and all Lambos except the Aventador... Then we're talking about a really fast car... I'll repost my 0-254km/h here so you'll know what I mean.. I my self lose breath while launching it!

Getting a bit too pleasurable at :10 I think.

Exactly. I meant to say that it stays in the spotlight too much.
