uh bro, the 2003 skyline is called the Infiniti G35, and its no where near 50. maybe top out around low 30s, and starts in the low 20s.. we arent talkin about the R34 skyline here.

You read wrong. This months AUTOMOBILE magazine said a special additon G35 GTR{With a Q45 V8} whould be a $50,000 car.
The car being discussed here is just a regular G35 which should start right below the 30K mark. Keep in mind this car is most likely replacing the G20 and is designed to compete with the Lexus IS300 and BMW 3 series. If a G35 GTR does come out, it will compete with the M3.

2002 Max VS 2003 G35? I will take the G35 hands down. The real question is 2003 Max VS 2003 G35, but it's way to soon to say.

The G35 is supposedly one of the best handling cars that Nissan has EVER made. Also comes with 260hp and 5 speed auto/6 speed manual. It is RWD and is probably lighter than a Max with a much tighter chassis. Get the G35

Nissan has stated it is the best handling car they have ever made, including the R34 v-Spec awd, that gets you thinking, the curb weight will be around 3,250lbs and engine will range from 240 to 320 respectively. The six speed coupe should be out a few months after, expect 0-60 times to be 5.9 to 5.3! DAMN

Right now I'm aiming at 02 Max. We'll see what happens next spring/summer when I'll start shopping for a new car.

Stop lying to us Andy!

You are going to buy the TL-S next year. Who are you trying to fool? The G35 got my vote and can't wait till spring time come around for a real test drive. Hope the tail looks better in person.

I am waiting for Coupe, I hope it will have decent room in the back for people. I saw a picture somewhere of either a 2 or 4 door G35 that made it's look so bad, if someone knows what it is, I think it might have had the GTR Emblemon on the front grille. I could be wrong, but it's sweet.
