Looks like 350Z and Corvette put together.

I think that looks awesome. Can't wait to see it. Nissan puts together some mean looking cars. As far as American vs Japanese stereotypes go, I'd say Nissan definitely fits in more with the american stereotype of agressive muscular cars and big tough SUVs and pickups... They certainly ain't going after alternative fuels and hybrids very actively...

Not a fan of the front end styling, but the rear and side profile looks good.

Its alright. very similiar lines to the 350Z, that's for sure. In fact, if someone had told me that was the new 350Z, I'd just said, "ok" ...

wow... i really like it. and no im not kidding, this is a veery nice car.

my only complaint is that the thingy under the headlights arent body color, but thats a reeeeeeaaaaly minor detail. darn nice car, i must say. not quite at the same level of sexiness as, say, a II, but pretty good nonetheless

and Zoran makes a good point, it does liik alot like a vette/350Z combo, but i think theres a teency nit of dodge charger in it IMO, in the back half of the side windows and the C pillar. but hey, maybe thats just me

man, Nissan and Mazda keep spitting out cars a like lol. those two have to be my favorite imports.

I think that car is AWESOME . I can't wait to see this car come to the USA. The only issue that there will be, is the price. Nissan is saying that, since it may cost close to $70K :shock: , it may be sold in this country as an Infiniti. Can't wait to see this car at the NY auto, and hear some performance specs. I love it.

I love it! Although the front grill looks very similar to the new Evo X

Those black sections under the eyes remind me of a Cheetah

This is what the new Skyline will pretty much be like (give or take). I think it looks sensational.

It's the prototype for the GTR which looks like it will be a separate model from the Skyline now. The current Skyline is sold here in the US as the Infiniti G35 coupe and sedan.

The Skyline GTR used to be the top of the line Skyline, much like the Cobra was the top Mustang. There were also lesser Skylines, just as there are base Mustang Coupes and Mustang GTs.
