:huh: WEIRD!! Hide the headlights in the above (and the badging on the grille), and it looks very much to me like an Acura RSX.

V-8 in Skyline
If the Skyline does get the V-8 it could be a very good thing. I've had the extream pleasure of working on the racing engine from which it would be derived. It should pack quite a punch, big torque and nice high end pull.:frog: Just hope the car retains all wheel drive.

old pics. old news. all wrong.
Those last two pics are photoshopped things, not real cars or concepts. I dunno where the yellow one comes from, but the 2nd one is a photoshopped R34, as far as I can make out.
The V35 Skyline is being sold now in Japan (if anybody's actually buying the ugly pos) - check www.nissan.co.jp The GTR is a concept car at this stage. It's not a Skyline any more. and there are pictures of it on www.nissan.co.jp too.

for some reason i'd rather import the car from japan... i mean come on!! infiniti?! the hell?! and on top of that X35!? wtf is on with that ?! if i want 2 buy a skyline i want to see the skyline badge on the car with a nissan emblem, not some infiniti X35....also i'm not feelin the naturally aspirated engine...turbo seems like it was made for the skyline...America always seems to hold out on us and when we finally get the car that we diserve, it gets turned into some watered down thingy that doesn't diserve the title of Skyline GT-R....watch them get rid of the all wheel drive and make it so that you can only buy it in automatic.... that's why i'd rather go 2 motorex and buy an R32- R34 or something that's the definition of skyline....kind of like godzilla.... the first godzillas were good, then when they remade it it sucked and everybody wanted the old godzilla back i mean the high end horsepower for the car is great but you can also do that with the skylines that we have now...hopefully i'll be able to buy one before it gets too late

no the special skyline that holds dear to my heart is the R-32 Skyline GT-R the color you ask? Gun Gray Metallic- the true color of a Nissan Skyline...even have the rims in the same color..that's tight

Yeah the Front Grill is all Wrong not nearly as aggresive as the R34's and the head lights need to be horizontal not vertical forget all that parts bin bullshit with the new Z car. I just hope they fix that front end before they bring it here.......ahhh but u know what in the end id still buy one

If it weren't for the parts bin strategy, there wouldn't be a Nissan right now. The company was ready to fold its hand until Renault and Carlos Ghosn came to the rescue. Ghosn called for immediate reduction of personnel and equipment, including a reduction in the number of available platforms. That's where the XVL 'universal' concept came from, which led to the Skyline GT/G35, new Z, new Altima, new Stagea, and the new GT-R. Without this move, there would be no Nissan, and therefore, no GT-R.
