Default Skyline 4 door rendering



Pretty soon, you'll be able to swap badges on all their sedans and call them whatever you want.

Maybe I am missing the point of this post because I cant read Japanese...But that is the next generation G/Skyline sedan. The G35 (current) coupe and sedan = Skyline coupe and sedan sans the option of the 2.5l you can have in Japan...The Skyline have come in sedans for a while now, even the BNR34's came in sedan versions. It's nothing new.

It says "ahead of the NSX replacement, the S2000 replacement is maturing, with V8 and FR."

other noteworthy headlines: "LS600h: Specs revealed" and "MPV Turbo"

I think the point of this post is that the 2007 G35 (G37 whatever) sedan is going to be released on the 12th, and as of now there have been no spy shots of it so people are wondering what it's going to look like. I've seen 3 or 4 Japanese mag covers with renderings of it this week, but they all look pretty different and are pretty obviously chops.

As for it looking like all the other Nissan/Infiniti's - ya, I definitely agree there is maybe too much stying cues taken from each. I've always liked brand identity (in a grille for example), but since these are chops it's too early to pass judgement.

well for them this makes sense..

cuz the nissan skyline is our Infiniti G35.

and as far as i know that front end is exactly the same as the Infiniti Coupe concept from whatever car show out of the couple we had in the past couple of months...

the Ininiti G and FXs are the only cars i currently like, and it looks like the G35 will still remain a car i like
the M35/45's on the other hand...their rear end i simply cannot live with.

Speaking of Skyline i saw a G35 at Moroso last weekend and it had Shyline on the trunk where it normally says Infiniti.. Needless to say it was just a G35.....

just waht the MPV needs. 160hp and 5000lbs is not cutting it, I know from personal exprience.

A lot of people do that - it's the JDM badging. I think it's lame but you know how USDM people like JDM badging and vice versa.

I don't think it's lame at all. It's like putting Aristo on a GS and putting Soarer on a SC. What's lame is putting M3 badges on a normal 3 and Type-R badges on basically any Honda that's not a Type-R. There is a difference between JDM and LAME.
