He was talking about a R32 Skyline, not a VW.

i saw a G35 the other day that had skyline across the back like the uk evolution badges....i was like what's up with that but i guess it makes sense now.....according to the post refering that the G35 is called the skyline in japan....it's not awd...the skyline is awd.....maybe it is over in japan and they cut it out of the u.s. model like they cut our ayc out....who knows.....why does there have to be a difference between the japan and u.s. models? ....as far as performance goes....it's not like we don't know about it .....i mean they still don't have as much power as vipers or corvettes or whatever so what's the deal....costs....i guess.....i don't know why it would cost that much more but i guess it does...anyway i don't like the gt-r that much as far as looks....it's ok ...kindof like the z or the g35.....i've never really liked cars that are big like the 350z/g35, supra, 3000gt, mustang, etc,...i don't know ....i just don't like looking over a long hood when i'm driving which is why i love the evo.....i guess i'm just wierd that way...i like small cars

And IMO, based on the current styling of the Nissan vehicles and the next gen Skyline GTR spyshots the 09 Skyline GTR will not be better looking than the GTR R34 IMO. That's why I said "downhill".
But back on topic, The EVO X is great.

This is exactly what i am talking about. no other way to say it but this is very true

Wow, I'm surprised so many people don't like the looks? I think it's looks incredible. It will be interesting to see what the real car looks like.

I WILL ***** about the "no 4g63"....That may be a mistake especially for those guys who like to push lots of boost (if they use an aluminum block.

I need climate control. Ive never been a big fan of 130 or 30 degree weather, which unfortunatley are the only two choices in the evo...

With only $7500 saved up you may have to!

I just bought a IX, but the I think the X looks awesome. Although the SRT-4 will have basically the same engine and chassis for much less $$$...
