Been around for good few years.

Basically a 350Z underneath.

Just a 3.5 non turbo thing.

No fast versions as such.

Not many in the UK, just cause, i dunno, just not that interesting, tho I think they nice motors.

New "GTR" wont be a Skyline.

Do a google search for G35 or V35 Skyline (dont ask what the differences is, as i dunno )

EDIT, hangon, think i do...

V35 is what Nissan call em.
G35 is what Infiniti (ie Nissans version of Toyotas Lexus, ie a flashy name for the UK/US market) call em.

It wasn't a fuckin opinion poll! I just wanted to know what it was.

Sounded pretty nice to be fair, but what you can't see is that there's a bloody 550 Maranello behind me.

Once we were clear of the traffic, he came FLYING past! The Skyline sounded nice, but the Ferrari - good lord!

At Weston-Super-Mare there is a new Skyline that has 4 doors.........Huge ugly car (IMO), I think it has 19" wheels as standard.............

It looks more like a Bentley or modern 7 series BMW.......not like any Skyline I've seen before

Theres been big 4door Skylines right from the 1960s upto R32s 33s and 34s.

V35 skylines look nowt like previous ones though, hence why they not that popular.
