The new X looks like an Infiniti FX and an Evo throw together with a hood vent.

EVO X is going to look better than the 09 Skyline GTR. The best skyline was the R34, after that the skylines went down hill, aspecialy in the styling department. I can't wait to get the X, the RA is already for SALE.

There was no skyline after the R34 so there's no way for them to go "downhill"...The R34 is the last Skyline to date until 09 and the R35.

Well, it would help if people would specify what they are talking about; Skyline does not equal GT-R. Just like Lancer does not equal Evo. I have a feeling when most people say Skyline in this country they are talking about the GT-R. In which case I see where Mr. Stock is coming from in that there is no way the car could go "downhill" since it hasn't come out yet.

Well the good skylines are the GTRs so why specify, it's not like when I say Skyline any one would think of the GST or GST-S Skylines, right? When I was saying downhill I was specialy talking about the styling from Skyline GTR R34 to Skyline after that (US G35)... And the fact that some people don't even know that G35 is the Skyline in Japan, kinda proves what i'm talking about.
But anyways, it's all about the evo X and from drawing/concept pics/ it's already better than the Spy photos of the upcoming Skyline GTR....

You just negated your "point." The US G35 is not a GT-R and doesn't look like the GT-R prototype. None of us have seen what the production R35 GT-R will look like, so who's to say its gone downhill. I can tell a GTR from the other lesser models of the previous generations, especially the R34 and the cheaper models look cheap/bad not nearly as nice as a full on GT-R, and this new model seems as if it will be radically different from a G35, at least from the prototype. So why judge it based on what the G35 looks like? If you think the protoype is ugly, then thats different.

Now add cruise, heated seats, an electrochromatic rear view mirror, heated side mirrors, 8 way power seats, power seat pedals, 30" sunroof, and cup holders to hold not one but two super slurpees

I like the head unit and possibility of navigation being in the car. The interior is alright.

I hope this is the opportunity for an ultra stripped RS version again.

WTF, that's no EVO! 30" Sunroof If they find a way to add all that and keep the weight under 3300Lbs, then I am all for it, if not then f*ck it. Nobody wants a pig heavy EVO, if you want all those features buy a BMW.
