Who thinks the Skyline is ugly as sin? Outside the power of it, I really don't like the body. Looks too much like the old 240 / Honda Prelude.

Although, knowing how movies work, it's probably not even a GT-R!

Besides that, its all movie magic.

Skylines IMO are beautiful. They have that muscular stance, it just looks tough. Of course that ricer paint job sux. I always wondered why the Skyline was never imported to the US. Is it a Japanese pride thing? Because I know the Skyline is their version of the Mustang or Corvette.

Skyline was never imported here because of the emissions. Something about it being too high. Read it somewhere a while back. I would take a STI over a skyline :-). Better yet, give me a porsche GT3. I would take that anyday.
RICE!!!

...I just think it has a tough look, it is sleek without being wimpy, race-ready without looking ricey... It definitly is the Jap Mustang and it has a better more original look in my opinion. Although I admit, exclusivity is appealing too since there aren't a lot over here.

I heard all sorts of things about the intentions to bring the Skyline to the States. Just keep your fingers crossed because today, the auto industry is so freaking cut-throat that they're doing anything to gain the edge in image, volume, profits or all of the above.

In Japan the 350z and G35 is called the Skyline coupe and sedan but they havent made the GT-R series yet.
It would be awesome if they put the Q45 V8 and some turbos in it the new GTR
...but the VQ35 and some turbos would be kool too

BTW, I'm going tonight to see for myself just how crappy this movie really is. I'll let you all know what I think.

I have seen different projects with the VQ30,VQ35 and the Q45 engine...most likely the Vq35 with some turbos.....i wouldnt be suprised if it was around 500hp, it will break the >280hp mark japan has most of their sports cars....
O and it better be AWD!!!Thats what a Skyline is all about!!!

But anyways, I saw the movie, and aside from being a DSM commercial, it wasn't all that bad. In fact, it impressed me how good it was. My buddy and I wrote a review. I actually really liked the GT-R in it. It changed my opinion of neon.
(oh and FYI, they do pay their respects to american muscle when Walker admits that his Evo and Tyrese's Eclipse won't be able to beat a Charger and an old Mustang)

Skyline GT-R was never sold here cause of price and image. The old 300ZX was a 40k car and NO ONE was buying it. A GT-R would have been at least 60k. Prices kept going up as well. Nissan figured it would be too expensive.
Also, they did some research on the Acura/Honda NSX and found that the market is not too fond of 60-90k Japanese sports cars. People cannot justify spending that much on a Honda or Nissan.
So they said no. Damn shame, the R32, R-33 and R-34 GT-Rs are some of my favorite autos. Amazing cars that can take gross abuse. Can be modded with a wrench and some gum.
The G35 is the Skyline but no GT-R. Carlos Ghosen and co. promises the R-35 will be a global car. Though, with their cost cutting, I am afraid it might not be worthy of the GT-R name.
We'll see.
The paint jobs are for the movie. It's a movie, get over it.
