nissan news
there was a article on special edition skyline GT-R that can do 0- 60 in 3.5 sec.

the 2003 G35 sedan will be 216-230HP costing about $50000.
no info on the GT-R yet. will be powered by v8 4.5 liter Q45 engine.

benz news
2005 slk will feature a new sliding hardtop, that makes the trunk bigger than before with the roof down.
-maybach will be $300,000, plans to build 1500 units


porsche news
The story does not end here though as the same sources have suggested that the company's executives are positive towards the posibility of the forthcoming coupe's shape forming the basis for a full 4-seater, 4 door Porsche! Such a 4-door car, they report, could borrow the Cayenne's 4wd drivetrain.

BMW news

Are you sure about the G35?? : at 50k is competing with M3 and S4. Plus 230hp for luxury sports sedan is simply a joke.

Why would the G35 have 10-24 less horsepower then the Altima? Not to mention, why would it cost the same as the Q45?

That info is bogus.

we are not talking about GT-R, maybe the gt-R cost 50,000, well one of them. G35 is 216-230 Hp, i dont know why but I do know that GT-R will be certainly more powerful. who knows what nissan is up to. first they build a stupid altima that competes with its own maxima, now a stupid G35 trys to compete with m3 and clk.
some infos are from AUTOMOBILE mag and some are from road and track.

u can check the mags this month, road and track and AUTOMOBIle,

Who said anything about the G35 having a 4.5L V8? G35=3.5L

ya someone said it earlier in the thread but it did sound fishy, i would imagine it would have the 3.5 with the same or close to hp as the Z car.
