So this will remain a very rare car in the US.

What's the story behind this, what has changed? Can earlier Skylines still be brought into the US?

No doubt, if I had the money, I'd buy this. Talk about exclusive, and talk about beauty. Easily one of the most storied cars of our generation.

Well at least the skyline is in great condition (mint). The price is way to high IMO... Someone needs to rethink those numbers...

I agree... On the other note, those vehicles aren't that difficult to be had in the States...

i'd love to rock one of these if i had the $$$. just love the squarish aggressive look to it. was never a big fan of the g35 style as it smooths it out and seems a little less aggressive to me.

You know, the only thing that's funny to me about Skylines is that people can have cars that are:]

A) Legal in the U.S.

B) Better looking than the Skyline.

The Skyline looks sexy, but I would never buy one because I would be scared to be pulled over. Gimme a Porsche 911 Turbo any day of the week.
