I was wrong, the sketches were scheduled for Friday.
Pics might not be available until the actual show.

Why is it that everyone wants this to be badged an Infiniti?? Yeah the GT-R as we know it was killed after the RB26 was axed along with the R34. It's to be badged a Nissan hands down. Would any true enthusist of this car want it any other way? Ugh. I could never imagine it being an Infiniti. They would end up putting a bunch of luxary bull**** in the car. Which would just kill it.

I know I'm just rambling on. I'm tired and sick. But the car will be amazing reguardless of what it is badged *cough cough Nissan cough* Although I would love to have one. i would not buy a first production year version. to many problems.

It's got an Eclipsey front nose to it... And I don't really like it. But these are sketches so we'll see.

I agree 100% and have been saying this for sometime. It needs to be a NISSAN, period and extend on its AWESOME heritage.

I know INfiniti doesn't exist in Britain but does it exist in Australia? And maybe this car will begin the delayed world-wide launch of the brand? Though, they still will be rebadged Nissans?

Or maybe they just trademarked the name and eventually it will happen?

I just don't see how they can just take the Skyline GT-R name, a much revered and respected and historical name in Japan and give a sedan and coupe (our G35) the name Skyline and then give a whole different car the GT-R name, not to mention a different brand.

Doesn't matter though what they call it, this car should kick MUCH *** when it comes out. I just hope the styling comes out right

I wonder will it eclipse the Z06. Which at 65k, simply cannot be touched by any car. The new Z06 has exotic beating performance at a price lower than a base 911. I wonder if this GT-R will do the same?

Man, I can't wait to read the comparos
