yeah, I don't really give a **** about this car because it'll be so expensive that true fans of the car won't be able to afford it....just Porsche drivers. They should have kept to the tradition of making it a $30k-$40k sports car and then just kill off the 350Z when it comes out. Like all the other Skylines, we'll all just be left to dream about this one while driving it in GranTurismo 5 and thats about it. :

exactly, like I said before. I like it but for the price you could import a hell of a nice R34...V-spec even if you found the car yourself in Japan.

damn nice looking car! Who really knows how much it's going to costs, but i'm willing to bet it's going to be out of my price range. Well, until i win the 340 million power ball today that is!

I love it, it looks much better than those modified g35 pics that were flying around. but yeah the money is a big problem because at 80k its gonna slotted against the 911 and the AM vantage v8, which i would take the AM vantage over this new skyline any day

Wow it's really growing on me, like the EVO X. I really think the new GTR is one of the best looking cars to come out of Japan in awhile. Hopefully the price isn't outrageous when it comes out.

Its going to be twice the price of an evo MR, I wish they would make a cheaper model say around 40g., maybe even something with just rear wheel drive, with the same body.

I hope it will be without that "crappy" 350z engine.

the nsx was a money loss for honda/acura

they built every one different to somehow improve it

they sold the nsx less than production costs

The cockpit of the new Skyline reminds me of the cockpit on the F117 stealth fighter. Anyhow, what is really needed is specs, performance figures and the price.

The maximum amount of money I would spend on the GT-R is 70K. I suppose since imported R34s sell for $80K Nissan figured they could price the new GT-R in that range.

Well, according to some rumors it will come with a twin-turbo V6 and 450 hp.

Hopefully the new GT-R will be easy to modify like the old ones. Then again, I highly doubt that possibility.
