Assassin Clutched July 15, 2003 Share July 15, 2003 More like the designers have been sharing their ideas around with the other designers from the other manufacturers. Yup..saw a new silver Skyline also...about 2 weeks back...its lost its aggressive styling...maybe they want to change target market to more family type owners ?

Mymini Neutral Newbie July 15, 2003 Share July 15, 2003 saw one of these a few months back also..........don't like the front. i read from somewhere that the Skyline is going to be a Luxury Sports type of car (like M5) and they will drop that name for the "Godzilla'..........going forward, the Godzilla will simply be call GTR ..........who refers to the GTR as a Skyline nowadays anyway?

Mojoe Neutral Newbie July 15, 2003 Author Share July 15, 2003 yah lor... it was at night and I really thought it was a Lexus (or the new Camry) from the side when I saw the front and didn't pay attention till I walked past it from the rear... then I saw the skyline badge... yup... seems like it.. maybe to cater to skyline drivers who have matured? ... but then again, most of the skyline owners i see are pretty mature...

Crazy Neutral Newbie July 15, 2003 Share July 15, 2003 (edited) Mojoe, I believe the photo you attached is the Infiniti G35. Test drove it in the US earlier this year. It has the Nissan 350Z engine in it. Slightly 'down tune' to give a more luxury and comfy ride. Damn cool car to have! If the car you saw looks like the photo, then I suspect that dude is probably playing with badges. I cannot imagine Nissan taking the G35 and relabelling it as Skyline.

Mojoe Neutral Newbie July 15, 2003 Author Share July 15, 2003 pictures got from a website... Autozine... they put it under New Skyline/ Infiniti G35.. http://autozine.kyul.net/html/Nissan3.htm#Skyline I think the Infiniti G35 is the new Skyline... read that the GTR will be branded separately...

Crazy Neutral Newbie July 15, 2003 Share July 15, 2003 That is interesting that they rebranded the G35 as Skyline. Thanks for the enlightenment! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
