New Skyline Spotted on US Soil!!!

Keep an eye out boys, there's a factory test vehicle driving around the states with a bunch of asian guys swarming around it at every stop inspecting diffs, logs, tirewear, etc.

Re: New Skyline Spotted on US Soil!!!

Ehhh, seems liek the same style everyone else is trying to come out with. I'd be more interested in the performance factors vs the looks right now.

Looks like a 350/G-35? I really like the older bodystyle better. But I agree with Sleepy2lazy those calipers are HUGE!!

Re: New Skyline Spotted on US Soil!!!

I hate it when new a new style of a car comes out and it doesnt look anything like its predecessors. I wish they would have retained some of the R34 styling, I'm not such a huge fan of the 350/G35.

Re: New Skyline Spotted on US Soil!!!

Looks good to me. I don't think a car must look like it's previous style. Look at the 1g and 2g, and the EVO's. Completely different, but look great.

It should be available to buy here in about a year or so.

It looks nice, but I doubt I would ever own one.

I don't like the way it looks. But then again I pretty much only like cars made from 90-96.

Re: New Skyline Spotted on US Soil!!!

I heard it was only gonna come with 450hp, where as the other cars in its class will be coming with 500+hp.
Get ready for the ricers as soon as this comes out every 350Z owner will be getting Skyline badges and a body kit. "If you cant make it, Fake it". It will be the new Type R.

The old ones weren't exactly power beasts from the factory either. Put a little work in and that changes
