Having been unveiled way back in 2007, the Nissan GT-R is long in the tooth, but a new study has revealed that it still attracts a lot of attention online.

Driver’s education company Zutobi recently set out to determine which vehicles generate the most discussion online by looking at the number of mentions on Twitter and Instagram and the number of posts on Reddit. The Nissan GT-R took the top spot ahead of the Ford Mustang and Honda Civic.
