You haven't read the posts by the GTR owner who had a front end impact at such a low speed that it barely scraped the front bumper then?

The bonnet pedestrian safety system fired, and resulted in a repair bill of ................£11,000!

which was immediately handed to his insurance company! also, nissan responded and said there had been a rather large computer error and it shouldn't have been that much.

Bash an RS4 and it'd not be cheap! :shock:

It's a bit like reading about the RS4's failing DRC suspension or habit of clogging it's self up each time it's driven - neither of which would stop me buying an RS4, just like like the pedestrian safety system didn't stop me buying my GT-R :)
