...confidence that he could get people into theaters by telling them they're all gonna die. He's done it before. A past master of disaster, the German director devastated the planet in Independence Day and The Day After Tomorrow; he wasted New York City in Godzilla and showed us the distant past was no safer in 10,000 B.C.

(Ghosn's steering committee even toyed with the idea of linking the GT-R with Godzilla.) Mizuno often says that the car was born in Japan and raised in Germany. The GT-R, he says, is an expression of the Japanese senpai-kohai system, in which the more experienced teach their juniors. The GT-R team simply took that Japanese concept and exported it to build...
