I hope I'm wrong but we'll see.
At least we are finally getting it here!! Stop complaining. You guys always complain that we don't have it hear, but then when we are going to get it, you still complain. Are you guys never satisfied?

I do not think it is the CEO's decision on what gets stripped off of the skyline. The US laws, tests, and standards are what determines what comes over.

Rep Power: 328 I bet it's gonna have another variant of the awful VQ series motor. Why can't they leave a good thing alone? The RB series motors were perfect.
Although this looks cool.

if nissans bringing the skyline over it's because of the sucsess of the evo and sti. so im sure whatever we get is gonna be a little more than a g35 cost wise but def. gonna have more impressive apecs than the evo and sti. i hope it's stock turbo and not NA LIKE THE G35

Rep Power: 288 so im wondering what is a "real" skyline gtr? jdm = real? not based off of G35/350z platform = real?
cuz in my mind, fake = direct rebadging of another car. i highly doubt that the future gtr will be simply "just" a rebadge G35. the new gtr will probably be based off a G35, but if it performs better then its not the same as a G35. think of it this way, GTR is just a name that Nissan gives for the higher preformance model. so as long as it performs better than the regular skyline, then it is a GTR.
side note: YAY! we finally get to see some high performance Nissan cars in the US in the not too distant future.
