The g35, is the american version of the Japaneese Nissan Skyline 350gt.
Nissan removed the GTR badge from the skyline, and made it a rwd v6.
the GTR is no longer a skyline.
it is
the GTR
little sense made.

The V35 was a major turning point for the Skyline. There was no straight-6, no turbo, and no GT-R, a decision which extended to all later Skylines. However, despite the departure in these trademark characteristics, Nissan's decision to include a bigger engine and improve balance made many media outlets name the V35 as "the best Skyline ever", and it has continued to revive the Skyline brand internationally.[25] Choosing to gear the V35 towards the luxury-sport market, and billing the 350Z as a pure sports car, Nissan put a slightly more powerful VQ35DE in the 350Z, and while the Skyline and the 350Z shared the same platform, the 350Z had additional bracing, under-body aero parts, and weighed 100 kg less.[5]
Japanese tuners mostly ignored the V35 Skyline, the 2006 Tsukuba Super Lap Battle had not a single V35 entrant.[1] Tuners such as Mines, Amuse, Hosaka, Garage Defend, M Speed, Nagisa, MCR, HKS, & Top Secret continued developing R32-R34 GT-Rs as time attack cars. Top Secret did tune a V35, but replaced the VQ35DE with a VK45DE V8 Twin Turbo.[26] Signal USA entered a V35 in Formula D, replacing the VQ35DE with an SR20DET.[27]

V35 (03+) Infiniti G35 in the US = Nissan Skyline in Japan. Same car.
R35 (09+) Nissan GTR in the US = Nissan GTR in Japan. Same car.

Make sense?

Why would the Skyline be as expensive as the new GT-R?

In Japan, the car's name is Skyline. In America, it's called a G35/G37

Skyline is G35/G37.
G37/G35 is Skyline.
