The second one is what was unveiled at the 2005 Tokyo Auto Show. I'm kind of sad that the prices estimates are so high. $70,000 range. I'd be much more excited if they just allowed R32's to be imported. Cheap, light (relatively), and proven. Instead we'll probably be getting the complete opposite.

The tail lights on that second pic reminds me of a cobalt ss :D. But I'd still buy one! The first one is just UGLY.
Other way around. GM has been copying Nissan for years. Look at the "Impala" (I still call it the Lumina). The new Skyline, the R35, as some call it, is kinda a let down. It will be ugly and heavy and might not live up to the real GT-Rs. Killing the Skyline and rebadging a Z Platform is a slap in the face to GT-R Idealists like myself. Gone are the days of the RB26 and decent looks...at least the price has doubled.

hehe, I like it when people say that about the impala.

also, I like it that people think the japanese invented drifting.

Try using the skyline gallery next time. Find a pic of a '54. You don't want to play this game. Also, tell me who invented drifting?

GM copys alot of things. The sunfire is a better "mini-stealth" than the avenger.

Yeah, now, but if you remember the initial introduction of the GTO into the drifting world; it was GARBAGE. Only after they completely remodeled the frame of the car did it do anything. The Skyline frame is out of the factory. And as for the Viper (eventhough it's not GM) its a drift machine
