Motor Trend Magazine has named Nissan’s new sports car, the Nissan GT-R as its 2009 car of the year.  As per the evaluation report - the 2009 Nissan GT-R supercar,  which is formerly known as Skyline -  delivers a world class level of performance, handling, and efficiency that rivals the world’s best-known supercars, at a much more affordable price.

The editor-in-chief of Motor Trend, Angus MacKenzie, mentioned that the Japanese car - Nissan GT-R rewrites the rule-book for high performance cars, and none of the other 2009 competitors could “crush” the magazine’s criteria like the GT-R did.

The 2009 GT-R is the sixth generation of Nissan’s flagship sports car.  The GT-R abbreviation stands for Gran Turismo Racer.  The GT-R extracts more than 450 horsepower from its 3.8-liter twin-turbo V-6 engine while still meeting emissions laws, and also features GR6 six-speed twin-clutch transmission. 

If you compare the GT-R with Porsche 911,  both have about 480 hp; however, the GT-R costs half as much as the Porsche.

This month when I travelled to China on a business trip, one of my friends who is in the exports business, presented me with a Marlboro cigarette box.  As Marloboro is not one of my favorite brands of cigarette, I refused it politely.  But he insisted that I open it and have a look.  When I opened it, I was surprised to find that it was a fantastic cigarette box which can hold cigarettes and it also had a functional mobile phone.

This Marlboro cigarette box has GSM dual band mobile phone, and it also features a 1.8 inch LCD which offers a display of 260,000 colors with 176 x 220 pixel resolution.

In Japan, I have not seen mobile phones like this; and I can not use this one in Japan, as GSM mobile phones are not supported in Japan.  But this product would be a hit in countries such as the United States, Australia, or England.

This Marlboro phone costs only around US$120. If any of you are interested in importing this phone on a large scale, please get in touch with me. I will introduce my friend to you.
