The skyline is one of my favorite cars and even with its short comings id still pick one up. But still, it can have all the ground breaking technology etc it wants, but if its not measuring up, it isnt really a showstopper.
lol I guess you're right considering they are not cheap by any means..I think you are buying more heritage than anything. In all honesty I think its the fact that you cannot easily obtain one that makes the skyline so popular over here, imagine if we couldn't get the M3 or M5 in America.. but when we see one on the road its not that big of a deal.

With that said there is a LOT of potential with the skyline..its just a good base to start with if you're looking to modify.
