Is this the new Skyline?

[XenoKryst]

Indeed it does not look aggressive enough!

However, I like this design better. It is obviously based on the the previous model, the R34 but with smoother lines I guess. Still maintains the aggressive look.

Those bastards! I'm pissed that they took the same car as the 350Z (practically speaking) and put a Skyline badge on it. The 2000 Skyline and the 2000 300ZX (J-Spec) weren't the same cars now were they?

It's more like they put the Z badge on the Skyline, since the Skyline came out first, and Z is essentially a short wheel base Skyline.

I am very confused here. I know the Nissan 350Z and the Infinity G35 were essentialy the same car, and I heard rumors that America was getting the Skyline is a form of the Infinity G35. But I didn't want this to be true. I would like the Skyline to come just like Japan's, like the R34, my favorite Skyline. If they want to slap Skyline badges on a G35 and expect me to like it, they are wrong.

The only reason there is a new Z car is because they were able to share components with the Skyline series. Both cars are getting rave reviews, and we haven't even yet seen how the GT-R will perform, and from the pics in Autocar, it looks quite different than the standard Skyline and the 350Z. Let the whining begin. :finger:

:apuke: :apuke:

Looks worse than the first concept! They all look shit, where are the twin lights on the back of the Skyline this time? It looks worse then an uncovered tin of :spam2: !!

Nissan are really screwing up now, they had plans to put a twin turbo V8 in the 35 at one point, sure there isn't anything wrong with that, giving it alot more torque and more power but the RB26DETT is the Skylines trademark engine.

Dude, the R34 is gone. Every company replaces their older models with newer ones. Even in Japan you aren't getting a new R34. Like the Camaro and Firebird, it's history. The R35 is next. Give 'em a chance! I also doubt we'll get a "Skyline" in the US, I think they'll just sell an Infiniti-badged version of the next GT-R35.

Don't ever say that!! The F-body will be back! GM know it, they can't just kill their best line of cars and never bring them back. Its a publicity thing that after awhile they will release it again because everyones hype has built up and GM will be able to sell alot for high prices, that way they get more money. Just look at what Chevy did as soon as they cancelled the Camaro line, they made an SS concept, that might be the next Camaro. I think that GM realised what they did and now they know it was for the worse.

You are confused indeed.
The V35 Skyline has been available for more than 18 months, and it is called Skyline in Japan. US got the Skyline for the first time, with a badge G35. If you put the JDM badges on the G35, you get a genuine V35 Skyline.

[SuPeRcAr_MaN]

Still confused, but I think I am getting this a little bit. The American Infinity G35 came after Japan's R35, and is the US's Skyline. If I am right, than I am more angry than before. This is not what a Skyline should look like. What are the similarities between this and any old Skylines? I understand that it was time for a change in Japan, but the States didn't even get some of the nicest Skylines.

BTW, hirofkd, thanks for clearing that up for me and not being an idiot like someone else... *cough* ZoomZoomMX-5*cough*.

Try paying better attention. Nissan didn't kill the Skyline GT-R34 just to piss you off, they are replacing it later. The G35/V35 is the tame Skyline. Why not look at FOTW's link to see the pictures of the next generation Skyline GT-R...it's not like it's hard to find. It's not the same as the V35 Skyline. There have been tame Skylines and terrifying Skylines. Like I said before, give them a chance.

The F bodies are gone, who knows what will replace them, but the names will likely come back on something else. F bodies are fast, but they suck in many ways, they simply don't have the reliability or build quality that is expected of a modern car. If you think for one minute that's their best line of cars, you've been smoking something far too strong. GM didn't update them nearly enough to be competitive in the marketplace. My friend has a clean, low-mileage '96 Trans Am WS6. Beautiful car, brutal performance. Yet it is riddled with flaws-the headlight motors/gears are garbage and hideously expensive to fix, the window mechanisms have failed, a replacement windshield is ridiculously overpriced, the transmission mounts fail regularly, the car is full of squeaks and rattles, insurance is insane, the doors are ridiculously overweight, they sound like shit when you close them, build quality is nowhere near anything made in Asia or even most of the US these days. Passenger space is pitiful. Sorry to say, but the buying public basically told GM to fuck off, we're taking our money elsewhere. I don't blame them. Flaws and all my friend loves his Trans Am. It would drive me fucking nuts to own that car, no matter how good it looks or how fast it goes. I've been in that car enough, and driven it enough, to know it's basically a beautiful, fast piece of junk. I hate to think how much $$ it will cost to keep on the road over the years. They are best suited to occasional use to car shows, or racing them on track where squeaks, rattles, lousy passenger space and build quality don't matter.

Yeah, right...As they say, takes one to know one.

Now go play in the freeway...and take Lowryda with you, please?

j/k

It's really quite simple...Nissan dropped the R34. It will be replaced. The V35/G35 as you've seen is not the replacement for the R34.

Clear as mud?
