The facts are proven, it IS the best production car put out right now. You can't argue the facts. I could care less if you like it, but don't go hating on the car just to hate on it. That makes you an ignorant human being.

It is not a Skyline. Nissan Officially does not want you calling it that anymore.

The best way to explain this car......

R35 is to a Skyline as a 350z is to a G35.

I hate to source it but here is the wiki on this.

Replacement
Main article: Nissan GT-R

Following the end of R34 production in 2002, Nissan announced their plans to separate the GT-R model from the Skyline name, creating an entirely new vehicle although it would remain on the same platform as the Skyline. This new car, now known simply as the Nissan GT-R, debuted in 2007 in Tokyo. It will be the first GT-R available worldwide, entering the North American market for the first time.
Although based on the FM platform used by the V36 generation Skyline, the GT-R uses an evolved Premium Midship (PM) platform. The car retains its heritage by using the chassis code CBA-R35, or simply R35.
