skyline

[i_love_skylines]

why did nissan change the body style of the skyline, it looks like crap, i personally love the 2001 GTR R34 NUR edition

What? What kind of crap thread is this? What do you mean? Like, the body style or concepts of the R35? Yeah, it is...different, but cool none-the-less. What happens, happens. Get over it.

its called evolution.

Lol^

But doesn't anyone think in maybe 5 years they should do a retro-R32 look?

no. they wont. Nissan is starting to market the skyline as more of a luxury sports sedan, instead of a street lethal hunting machine.

Bastards. all of them. I think we should kill, ahem, fire whoever's incharde and hire some new guy to re-build the skylines once great-state of godliness

[i_love_skylines]

now you get what i mean-It now loks like a infiniti G35 coupe and that isnt what the skyline should look like its not as sporty as it was.

that's not officially the next skyline. It is a huge rumor, part truth going around. There are other conepts out. Look around.

Um, yeah, actually that IS the next Skyline. If you lived in Japan like me, you would see (as I do) all of the Nissan Skylines (Infiniti G35's in the states) that are currently running around here.

They are the same car with a different badge and come in both two, and four door trims here. Just like the R32's, R33's and R34's all did.

The only thing that people are still speculating on is what the next GT-R will look like. That's it.

the day Renult brought out nissan the designs that so many love and cherish went out the window, probably never to be repeated again. I know its sad but hey one day I may get over it, but I doubt it.

Will stick with my 33

when Ghosn left renault and moved to nissan, he made a vow to improve nissans sales within a year, or he would resign. he did it. he updated the styles of the car, before him, nissan was all about building top performing machines.....now they needed to bring more class to the name.


remember though, that when the gt-r's were out, noone wanted to pay 50 grand for a nissan. not until nissan really showd what they are making in japan. the new fairlady did that for people.

that really depands on where in the world you are. Plenty of people in Japan, New Zealand and Australia would and did long before the new fairlady z came out. I guess that in America and Canada then things may be different.

The Skyline model was usually made up of luxury sports sedans and coupes, sort of like the BMW 3-series. Only the top-level GT-R is the 'street lethal hunting machine,' like the M3.

The Skylines that are available now are probably the best non-GT-Rs ever. Heck, they can outperform some of the GT-Rs in certain areas. The next GT-R will build off of the new Skylines and be even better.
