Either way, its still a "nice" car. Quotation marks use understate the engineering marvel that is the new production car from Nissan. BTW, I can't wait till these come out and someone in the tC forums states that they beat one in a street light race.

the front and mid section body lines look a lot like a 350Z, not to much inginuity put into this one, ___ looks nice though
and the skyline is legal in the US but not imported by nissan, but it is illegal in cananda, why i dont know htey are weird and i am canadian so i am weird too

RB26 is going to the same place as the 2JZ, out to pasture.
Rumors of a v6 twin turbo or a v8....nobody but Nissan knows right now.
tChui.......the Nismo 400R was my favourite skyline till it got ever so slightly bumped into second by the Z-tune

tons of guesses, but the question to ask is; which guess will be right?
Who knows. . . wait until Nissan releases official information before you start saving up.

More like $84,000 for the base model........
Speculation is this car will cost north of $60k or even $80k. Hence the consideration of the Infiniti Badge
I personally dont think that its too far from the truth either. This is a halo car, not a tuner car that every civic si, tc, evo or wrx owner can upgrade to. If you look at the performance and engineering, it more or less mimics the Ztune, which cost around $150k. Just look at the carbonfibre body parts etc plus take into consideration the development cost of the engine chassis and integration of all the new systems and you will see where ur looking at : about 150k minus the 20k ohlins suspension, 10k for the brembos, 25k for all the JGTC parts and then take out the consumer market downgrades and you will see that u are looking at an at least $75,000 car. The skyline has always been elusive, if everyone could buy one it'd loose some of its mystique. My bet is it'd remain as inaccessible to most as if it had stayed in japan.

Roughly $90k. . . I think. I dunno if they lowered the price. . . but even at that price, since they imported them in limited numbers, I'm sure they had no problem selling them. But for $90k, I have a lot of other pics.
