From the pic the Skyline looks pretty much just like the G35 coupe. Not necessarily a bad thing especially with the potential hp they are quoting.

The sti does absolutely nothing for me. I prefer the current model over that picture.

The Skyline looks totally hot. I really hope they put the 450HP TT under the hood. It's long overdue here in the US!

If you don't like the new STi, then you probably don't like the current Evo, because to me, they are very similar.

Also, the new Skyline GT-R will probably look just like that. What we call the "G35 Coupe" here in the U.S., It's currently labeled the "Nissan Skyline" in Japan. So it's only fitting the GT-R version looks just like a G35 Coupe, only beefed up.

*sigh* The Skyline = Performance oriented G35 lookalike. Why (as Americans) do we have to 'play' games with car designs that drift more to the 'cramped' Corvette / Coupe look? That's one thing I always admire about BMWs and Mercedes ... they take nice 'sedans' and really make a 'driving' machine out of them.

And no ... both cars do not look "nice" or "cool" just because they are 'new.'

rant over.

i don't know i don't like that little center circle thing. looks like it was made by hyundai or something and the lights are kinda goofin lookin. Besides i'd say it looks more like a celica than an evo or maybe kinda of like a ritarded rsx. I guess the g35 isn't as bad as i thought earlier. taking a second look it aint so bad

i like the design of the STi, 'cause if it's really gonna look like that, it means the evo will still look better. I don't mind the skyline, I saw a concept that was similar to that picture a little while ago and was hoping they would change it a bit more.. oh well, it still looks pretty diesel. i just hope that hood isn't like that in the production model, haha.
