i have been told and even read somewhere in "Car&Driver" that Nissan is thinking of bringing the Skyline over. has anybody else heard of this or know anything of it??? please let me know. they would be stupid not to bring that car over here.

Bring it to holland bring it bring it here!!!!!!

would be fun

Someone explain the deal with skylines?  Why is there such a big fuss over them?

Basically ............... it KICKS ASS!!!!!

I'm not all that familar with the Skyline (primarly because its not the kind of car I would buy).  But, I have always been suprised that they aren't here-despite their cost I would imagine that would be very popular here.  This kind of performance car would do well here.

The someone asks you "what make of car do you drive?"

Personally, I never want to have to reply "Nissan" to that question.

we have a version of the current non gt-r "skyline" () in the Infiniti G35 coupe. to bad nissan never brought the r34 over, that would be great. there are people in the US that import R34 GT-R's for about $100,000. for that money you could import a Noble M12 M400!

Nissan. :p

the Skyline is one bad A car, and i would pay 50 grand for it, soup it up even more and just go out and smoke all these people in there boxters and carreas just to show that you dont have to spend obsence amounts of money on a car just to have the speed. that and the skyline is a very nice lookin car. and yes it gives the Evo and Wrx Sti imprezza a kick in the butt, but i would still love to own one of those to. and who cares if its a Nissan, i would rather own a Jap import instead of a BMW or a Jag or anything, i would gladly admit that i paid 40-50 grand for a Nissan and when someone started to make fun of me for it, take em out to the track and school in my Skyline

im not sure if (standard) skylines are any quicker than evo's......officially they make 276 bhp, but its more often 300. but these days you can buy an evo with 230, 300 or even 400 bhp...i dont think a standard 'line would smoke a 400 bhp evo.....

The new skyline has beaten the Evo.
And Boxter? ahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
infact even a boxter owner would laugh at you if you spent 50 grand on a nissan and then a ton more on kitting it out just to beat a boxter.
As for jaguars, which do you mean? the 2 ton s type or
the X type which barely tops 200bhp for half the price of a skyline.
Sorry but for the 50 grand they are asking for the skyline you could buy. An aston martin v8 vantage, a ferrari 355. Both of which could take a skyline out back and whoop it. In a couple of years you could get a ferrari 360 for 50 grand. At least you can say you own those with pride

Its safe to say, if you can afford the Ferrari, or Skyline, Insurance isnt going to be too much of a problem, same goes for parts:)
I would actually put the Skyline above the Ferrari for insurance, its more of a street racer and more likely to be stolen. But thats just a guess. Your more likely to be found driving an exotic car like a ferrari than a non-descript Nissan.
Again who wants to admit to the cops you own a 50grand nissan

Guess which one is made by possibly the most famous and recognisable manufacturers of super cars and which is made by a Japanise company selling stupid cars to stupid youths.

Yes, I'd rather own a Ferarri over an Evo.

Now there's a damn fine point. If you wanna go smoke some Porche on the cheap then why not buy an Ariel Atom.

Cheaper than both the Skyline and the Evo too.

i doubt that, i would say a ferrari would be the target of more car jackings than a skyline

think i'll stick to my supercharged pug....not as quick as a ferrari/evo/skyline, but does 0-60 in 5.9 seconds, does the qtr mile in 14.1, and only cost me 3k all in. and i can insure it for £250 a year, park it anywhere, fix it myself and is STILL one one of the best handling cars of all time! plus, unlike most ferrari owners im not scared to give it a thrapping...and regulary do (only on the track though, of course... )

no, i do seem to remember it did hold the record at one point...back in the days before the likes of radical, arial etc

it is classed as production in order to allow for its race variant to be raced

Nürburg Nordschleife.

Geez...

Planning to head there at some point this year too. But its rather expensive to do more than 2 laps.

I wouldn't buy the new bugatti. I still dont believe they have fully fixed the brake problems let alone the tyres.

i dont think the bugatti's ready yet, is it..?
wouldnt buy one anyway, its too ugly.....  
oh, and brakes are VERY important, especially if you're gonna do 400 kmh!!!

Production will start in August. The pre-porduction one did get to the promised 400Kmh. In a few months the Stig will get his hands on it
