#31 of 269 A misconception on my part.... by chris65amg Mar 10, 2005 (3:44 pm)
At first when I heard that there might be a Skyline replacement, I was pretty upset.... a Skyline (I thought) should be a Nissan.   But   When I heard that Lotus and Cosworth were both chipping in, I approve   Only thing is.... it'll cost bunches more than the original.

Well... the Skyline has always been sold here as the G35, without the spiffy rear lights, so it makes sense to keep it an Infinity here, I guess. I do wish they called the G35 "Skyline", but whatever. And in Japan, the GT-R was never inexpensive. At all.   It really isn't anything new though. The Skyline GT-R has always been a Skyline coupe with a twin-turbo 6 and ATESSA-ETS (spelling?) torque-varying AWD. Always been an inline 6, but those are proving to be bad for interior space and pedestrian safety (both of which only BMW feels it can do without).   I don't think the GT-R's awd system has ever trickled down to other Skyline models in its most advanced form.

I work at a nissan dealership - one of my co-workers gets Automotive news, in which he found an article saying the Skyline GT-R coming to the states may in fact be under the Nissan brand as opposed to Infiniti. It's a nissan everywhere else, might as well be a Nissan here too!   -thene Replies to this message: dodabeedobaa (Mar 23, 2005 8:22 pm) thenebean (Mar 24, 2005 7:49 am) i35yd (Jun 03, 2005 6:12 pm)

Replying to: thenebean (Mar 21, 2005 1:11 pm) yea man that's what im sayin too, nissan is nissan, but it prolly will be infiniti which doesnt matter much, for we want the car and that's what we will get right? lol but i wonder if pple will still try to import them if they do use a different engine in the USA than in Japan. i heard that the VQ30dett engine in the Nismo 350z JGTC racecars will be actually incorporated into the next GR-r. no clue just stuff that pple sayin but ya never know.

Replying to: dodabeedobaa (Mar 23, 2005 8:22 pm) i hope it comes under the nissan name - i think it will. this article seems to think (and they interviewed a nissan rep) that it will in fact be a nissan, not an infiniti. i guess we'll see though!
#38 of 269 Skyline Nameplate? by nissanman Mar 29, 2005 (10:13 pm)
I'm pretty sure that the next skyline (much to my disappointment) will not be sold under the nissan brand. I have searched the web extensively, and it is hinting at infiniti. However I believe the main reason is Nissan already has a flagship (sports car) the 350z and putting the skyline under the nissan nameplate would steal its thunder, while infiniti is still without a true sports car, although the g35 is pretty close. The concept also used an infiniti looking body style.
#40 of 269 It should be Nissan but I am 99.9% sure its not... by joeyjiggles May 01, 2005 (9:46 am)
I don't know if any of you guys get Sport Compact Car...but i think it was that magazine i saw they already have an Infiniti G35 GT-R. Skyline's are the most good looking and powerful cars in the world, especially since i am a turbo lover. I love nissan purely for the reason they built such an awesome monster but i am almost sold on that it is going to be an Infiniti, i dont know where people are hearing it might be a nissan. It just makes sense as much as it sucks, it has the exact body as the Infiniti how could it be called anything else? I never heard of anyone saying anything else other than the V6 Twin Turbo engine coming over. I will be really pissed if they ever have the nerve to put a "Suped up" V6 or an 8 cylinder and dare to put a GT-R badge on there...as you can see im huge into Japenese made cars, they just fascinate me...anyway that is my 2 cents on the Skyline, i guess we will just have to take what we can get...
