Default What is Nissan doing?? (Are they producing a Skyline as well as the GT-R?)

They got some serious wheels out right now with the new GT-R. It is beautiful and the performance is outstanding. I was searching the Skyline when a GT-R website came up. I acheived orgasm just by looking at the body of the GT-R. Super nice.

On the freeway the other day, I saw a new Skyline!!!!!! It passed me up real fast on the fast lane. Black and it has the word Skyline across the back of the trunk. I couldn't get a shot of it in time with my cell phone. Too bad because it was also a really hot looking car. The Skyline and the GT-R look like two completely different cars even though they're both high performing machines.

Skyline is the G35/G37

Gt-r is the high performance car

They are two different cars and they are both being produced

That would be my guess as well.

Ya, maybe a rebadged G37. The back of that car with plastic spoiler is
looks really cool. The front is a bit iffy, but I'll admit it's slowly growing
on me...

That chrome strip thing? I think it looks terrible on both the sedan and coupe. I think the sedan looks better than the coupe, which is sad because I enjoy coupes a lot more than sedans in general.
