Just because the GTR doesnt have the skyline name doesnt mean its not a skyline, did the r32, r33, and r34 GTR come all wheel drive? Did they come turbo? So what you are saying is that a car, who has the same characteristics and technology, matches that of a previous car, and also shares the "R" chassis code, along with being worldly known as "the new skyline" doesnt have a skyline emblem before the GTR part of the badging, automatically constitutes it as not a skyline?

thats the website that nissan provided for the new GTR. Notice anything in the timeline? Uh oh...its all skylines. Yes, thats right a visual timeline of the history of the NISSAN SKYLINE. Oh jeez, guess whats at the end of the extremly long and detailed list and order of skylines? Uh oh, wait for it...


THE ****ING GTR


you are wrong.

Merry Christmas, and here are some reps to make your holiday more jolly.



PS: Oh, and just to let you know, the Skyline you posted is actually just the japanese version of the G35 Sedan with AWD. Which carries nothing from the previous skylines over to the new G based chassis. Nissan just dropped the skyline name to make it sell.

PSS: By the way, the first skyline wasnt a skyline, it was a 2liter little roadster 2000gt.
This car shares not much with the other Nissans. The Skyline and Skyline GT-R were bespoke models until 2002, when they started badged the Nissan Skyline the Infiniti G35 in America. The G35/37 are simply NIssan Skylines rebadged here.

Carlos Ghosen and company did many studies to see if the GT-R was to be profitable and could it be a performance don dada.....

They also flirted with calling it an Infiniti, as Infiniti dealers are dying for new product and complained that it would look retarded the most expesive Infiniti was going to be cheaper than a Nissan GT-R.

They separated the two names to be two distinctive cars. The GT-R was to be named a Nissan and be finally a WORLD car. For instance the R32 was only available in Japan and Australia.

The new GT-R has technology that no other Nissan/Infiniti has. The engine is not just a bore and stroke of the VQ.

Here is a video of what Nissan has accomplished. This car is EMBARRASSING everything out there for the PRICE.
