    admittedly that's much nicer than the standard R35, but still compared to the R33/R34 it's major fugly.

    I'd save £10k and buy a second hand R34

    I am not keen on the looks to be honest, but for me the killer reason why i would never buy one is the fact there is no RB26DETT in the engine bay bloomin emmisions laws

    A Skyline with a touch of class, at last

    Living and dying laughing and crying
    Once you have seen it you will never be the same
    Life in the fast lane is just how it seems
    Hard and it is heavy dirty and mean

    I think its one of those cars that could look better in the flesh, im not massively fond of it, but its not a bad looking car, much prefer the old R34's.

    Also out of interest whats with these new "Skylines" I keep seeing in jap import centre, looks like an executive 350z, surely nissan were having a laugh?

    Yeh the Skyline 350GT - or Infinity G35 for the american market. Rear wheel drive, V6 non turbo cruiser. Its not a bad car.

    Dont forget the Skyline always was primeraly a saloon / family car, its sports heritage only came later on with the GTR's

    Thats why Nissan are calling this new one, GTR, and not skyline - theyre trying to get across that it isnt just a tarted up family car

    Looks like someone has been playing with 3ds Max, I'm surprised Nissan couldn't do a better render than that. What is this sudden obsession for "flame edge" design anyway? It doesn't work on BMWs so why do other manufacturers think it will work on theirs?

    Because it's a design CONCEPT?

    very, very few concept cars are ever put into production, they're more like caricatures, but they're good to dertermining which design direction to take it, then it gets smoothed out when/if it goes into production.

    What exactly is wrong with the render? or did you just want to score points for spotting it?
