2007-8 Skyline GT-R 35; what do you think

Call me crazy but doesn't the so called spy pics of the silver 2007 GTR look EXACTLY like a G35??
I always envisioned the Skyline as a muscular car like the R32. If this is indeed the actual look, it would be VERY drastic. When you see new generations of Evo's and Imprezza's, you can kind of see a bit of the older versions in it.

and i dont see any plans of bringing back the RB26DETT, just that crappy VQ engine so it is a disgrace to the name IMO

If they make it look anything like that red car that looks kinda like a CGT, I'll be a happy camper.
One thing I think they need in the styling, are the offset taillights to keep some semblance of the old ones, and a strong, aggressive line running from the bottom of the door to above the rear fenders.

As well, you have no idea what they will do to that "crappy" VQ engine, if indeed they use it, so again, meaningless.

You know what's worse than a fanboi that has never sat in or seen any Skyline in person? A fanboi that doesn't even have a drivers license.

If the Nissan Skyline hits U.S. shores, will people that can afford it take to it? Corvette and Viper already have a fair market share over here, and throwing a GT-R into the fray is a toss up. Maybe this is why Toyota is reluctant to release another Supra-type vehicle. I'm curious is how Nissan is going to market this car. The G35 and 350Z seem to be selling well, so are they pushing their luck with a supercar? Why not sell the a street version of the R390 (sic)? I surely hope this thing is more than the modified G35 mule in those Autoweek photos. If it is, then Axe body spray must really work.
BTW, isn't HICAS non-beneficial when wheel power starts to increase? I've always wondered this since almost every 300ZX tuner sells HICAS eliminators.
Oh yeah, the ER34 was a kick *** car. Bring one of those over too.

Current JDM mags.... VQ32DETT... 408 - 420 hp. All-wheel drive may be in the air because of weight. Supposedly it is a BMW M5 on the street and a Porsche 911 Turbo on the track...
