New STI and skyline Due Soon pics!
The illustration above, purloined by our man in Japan, is an insider's estimation of what the next Impreza WRX STi will look like. Although many of the characteristic features of the current car are carried over—hood scoop, aggressive fender flares, enormous wing—the rest of the car shares some styling elements with Subaru's new corporate face, exemplified by the B9 Scrambler concept car designed by Andreas Zapatinas and displayed on a pedestal at the 2003 Tokyo show. The front-end styling of the concept is shown here and is reportedly the face of future Subarus. A new Impreza WRX STi should hit Japanese roads in 2007 and ours soon after.
The illustration below depicts the upcoming Nissan Skyline GT-R. The GT-R version of the Skyline has always been a special high-performance offering in Nissan's lineup, and this one will continue that tradition. The GT-R probably has the record for the number of car-mag stories about a vehicle that has never been available in the U.S., and it remains high on our wish list.
Built on a new platform that is not shared with the standard-model Skyline, or Infiniti G35 coupe, as it's known stateside, it will likely make the GT-R far more expensive than run-of-the-mill G35 coupes.
There are conflicting reports out of Japan regarding the powerplant. One camp believes the GT-R will be powered by a Cosworth-developed twin-turbo version of the current 3.5-liter V-6, offering at least 450 horsepower. Others believe a new twin-turbo 3.2-liter V-6 will get the call.
To make sure the GT-R has supercar handling, chassis engineers from Lotus were selected to develop its steering, suspension, and drivetrain. Could this special Skyline so long denied to U.S. enthusiasts finally come to the States? "G35 GT-R" has a certain ring to it, but it's up to Nissan or Infiniti's product planners to decide whether it will come to our shores.
I got this from Caranddriver.com/article link ! What do you guy's think?

Rep Power: 0 that IS the new skyline, i've seen that prototype many times. i believe it is also featured in the next gran turismo game. i don't like the look of it. the headlights are gross. and if i remember correctly, the tail lights were weird.
i'm not sure about the STi, it's kinda cool looking, i don't really feel that front body work around the grill.

nah the new so called skyline pic was featured in a magazine. It was supposed to be an official pic or something. That pic looks like a photoshop of the concept mixed with the g35.

Personally, i think they both look sik!! i just love the g35 coupe, and the skyline basically has the same cosmetics as the g35...BUT with 450hp?!
U cant go wrong with that...!?!

skyline looks exactly like a 350z. look at it from the mirros back and it is almost identical except for the chopped fenders. the windows match exactly to that of the 350z.
