I have a question for all....I live in Canada and I am about to buy a skyline..I was told by my Infinity dealer that the new Infinity G35 is the newest model of Skyline. Does anybody know if that is true?

By the way here in Canada you can buy a Skyline almost anywhere.

If anybody nows the answer to my questions, please let me know before I purchase the bloody beast.

Thanks

Yes the new G35 is the skyline in japan(350GT).. Just little different between both

I would take any r-chassis over the g35. thats just my opinion though.

there is a concept car out there with over 450HP. Basicly a G35 with twin-turbo...very cool. I miss the super cars of the early 90's...3000GT VR-4, Supra, 300ZX TT.

Even though im not a skyline owner , calling the g35 a skyline is like a slap in the face.

I don't get why people keep saying that they wouldn't dare call a G35 a 'Skyline'. Every since it's inception, the Skyline has always been a family car (either as a sedan or coupe; the GC10 series even had a wagon). As such, it was always sporty and fun to drive. However, the balls-to-the-walls GT-R was always looked at by Nissan as practically it's own model (regardless of being derived from the Skyline family of cars). Over the years, the Skyline has evolved from one shape/chassis to another. Which each iteration, Nissan produced a car worthy of the name. This one is no exception.

Sometimes, I get the impression that the whole G35 not being a Skyline thing stems from people automatically associating the Skyline name with the GT-R. Obviously, not all Skylines are GT-Rs. Hell, look at the R32 with the RB20DE. I wouldn't exactly consider a +3000lbs car with 155hp 'soul stirring'. That thinking is along the lines that the Mitsubishi Lancers that we got over here weren't real Lancers because they weren't Evos. Get it?

In the end, the G/V35 IS the new Skyline. The new GT-R will now actually be it's own seperate model as it deserves to be (regardless of what platform it's based on). Granted, I will miss the RB series engines and the classic lines of the R3X series, but I have faith that Nissan will once again pull off another great evolution of a legendary car.

Well said, Homie.

If there is one thing I get sick of hearing, it's the constante "The G35 is not a Skyline," crap.

I have said something like this before.It's like saying the 350Z isn't a Fairlady, or the 300ZX for that matter. The original Fairlady was an inline engine that dated back to the 60's. Then the 240Z came along, followed by the 260, and then the 280. Those were all inline engines. Then in 84, the 300ZX dropped with its revolutionary VG30DE(T) and people ate it up.

Let Nissan run it's own show. If you think you could do better, then go to Nissan and tell them, and see what they show you. Probably the door.
