Nissan Skyline GT-R R35 is it coming to the us?

[thegladhatter]

Skyline is an arm of Nissan just like Chevrolet is an arm of GM. Skyline is to Nissan like Chevy is to GM. GM makes Chevy and Olds, and Buick etc. Nissan makes Skylines and Infiniti. An Infiniti is NOT a Skyline any more than a Buick is a Chevy .

I think you need a time out. Either that, or calm down. Neither GTES-t nor I have said that the GT-R would be a Skyline. The closest we have to a Skyline are Infiniti's G35 sedan and coupe.

The Infiniti is an INFITNITI! It may have the same basic sheet metal, but it is NOT A SKYLINE!!!

Again, no one said the Infiniti G35 was a Skyline. However, they are pretty darn close. The G35 sedan would be pretty much the equivalent of the current Skyline GT350 sedan. The coupe variants have even less differences between them.

Skyline is an arm of Nissan just like Chevrolet is an arm of GM. Skyline is to Nissan like Chevy is to GM. GM makes Chevy and Olds, and Buick etc. Nissan makes Skylines and Infiniti. An Infiniti is NOT a Skyline any more than a Buick is a Chevy .

You obviously haven't been listening. Do I need to ask you for proof in order to make you see reason? What you say is basically tantamount to calling Corvette a brand, when it obviously is not.
Skyline is to Nissan like Impala is to Chevrolet. Nissan makes Nissan(duh) and Infiniti.
The Skyline is one particular model of Nissan, not a brand of Nissan.

You are obviously an idiot. You have difficulty with the simplest logic.

I could very well say the same to you, and actually have others agree with me as well.

Again, I'll ask you for proof that Skyline is an arm of Nissan. I'm sure everyone else here would like to learn how wrong they've been about the Nissan/Skyline relationship for the past few decades.

The Skyline is the Infiniti G35(Skyline 350GT). The GTR is coming in 2007 as a 2008 model.

You are wrong, my friend. Skyline is to Nissan like Chevrolet is to GM. A GTR is to Skyline as Corvette is to Chevy. Now fuggoff.

Are you friggin' stupid or do you just know absolutely nothing about cars?

The skyline is a model line made by Nissan... the GTR is the top trim level for the skyline model...

Just like the 3 series is a model line made by BMW and the M3 is the top trim level for the 3 series...

If you want to use your Corvette example, it is made by GM/Chevy and the Z06 is the top trim level for the corvette...

Gladhatter, Ok, if you want to continue to be ignorant, go ahead. Obviously you aren't learning anything from what we've said.

If you think that a Skyline badge on a car is what makes it a Skyline and therefore not the same car as a G35, you have a lot to learn. But, in that case I will gladly sell you a Skyline, after I install the badges on a used Honda POS.

The new Skyline and G35 are one in the same, if you don't believe me, look at what Nissan's said:

http://press.nissan-global.com/NEW_S...ssrelease.html

This is their press release when the coupe version came out last year. As they themselves stated: "The car was launched earlier in North America last November as the Infiniti G35 Sport Coupe."
When the say "the car," they are talking about the Nissan Skyline Coupe. And if you look at when the US got it (Nov 02) compared to the release in Japan (Feb 03), the US got the coupes before they did!

Also, read their sales target:

Sales target of the Skyline Coupe:
16,500 units/year (North America and Japan)

That's pretty good for a car you're saying does not exist in the US!


Now about thinking "Skyline is an arm of Nissan," you have a lot of learning to do. Because what you are saying equates to saying this about your car listed in your profile: "Sileighty is an arm of Nissan."
Obviously trying to get it through to you that it's a car is pointless.

Take a look at Nissan's list of Japanese vehicles, you'll see that Skyline is a car, not a company:

you are BOTH full of shiite!! I give up

wow
how in the world did you think that skyline is a um, COMPANY?
Nissan launched skyline at 1957 as a sedan, like any other car.

From there they continued to evolve and launched different models.

Put this in simple way, Skyline (like everyone's sayng) is a CAR LINEUP (like that of HONDA CIVIC) from NISSAN. (Thus NISSAN SKYLINE)

G35, Skyline V35 is the 11th gen Skyline as all others are stating.

Nissan = Infiniti, like Toyota=Lexus, Honda = Acura, I didn't think that people had difficulty understanding this.

To summerize, Skyline is a CAR LINEUP MADE BY NISSAN, Skyliine is NOT A COMPANY. Skyline is made by nissan since almost 50 years ago, and now g35 is the 11th gen skyline.

Nissan lovers would be shocked to see likes of you for Skyline is true example of japanese automobile excellence. Nissan would have been in alot of trouble if Skyline wasn't there to give them the support, for while back, Skyline was the only car that gave them profit. (I think...nissan was in huge debt for while, now they are getting way better)

I guess you won't believe any of us and yeah what can we say? But these are facts so its up to you how you want to deal with it....

[thegladhatter]

Nissan BOUGHT the car company that originally made the Skyline in (I believe 1963). Prince Automobile Co. made Skylines from the early 50's. It was ALREADY an independent automobile company and became a BRANCH of Nissan in 1963.

[GTES-t]

Yes, Prince motors, was a different company then Nissan. When Nissan bought them, however, it did not become a branch of Nissan.

Ever since they were bought by Nissan, they have been manufactured and sold by Nissan.
The only exception, is in the US, Canada and UAE, the newest generation of the Skyline (the V35 body) is sold by the luxury branch of Nissan, Infiniti, as the G35.

Yes, Nissan bought Prince. However, the Prince name did not continue. The Prince Skyline became the Nissan Skyline.

If Skyline is the brand you claim it to be, what model lines does it offer? I'm sure it's a very diverse lineup.

[oi_boy]

i thought prince and nissan both collaborated on making the skyline, right before nissan bought prince.

Maybe they did work on it together. I personally haven't heard anything about that before, but I guess it's a possiblility. Still, the Skyline started out as a Prince, and then became a Nissan after Prince was bought out.

You register a new account after being banned, and that's all you have to say?

It's probably the smartest thing you've posted all along.

[VQuick]

By the way, sending me those PMs sure sounded bright. I'm still waiting on that proof of yours that Skyline is a brand and not a model.

I'd sure like to see you prove just about everyone else in the world wrong.

Ever look at the bottom of the screen when you're at the forum? Notice how it says...

Automotive Forums .com > Nissan > Skyline

Again, Nissan is the brand, not Skyline.
