Someone explain the deal with skylines?  Why is there such a big fuss over them?

for one more computer technology than a 777. two very powerful, three awesome handling. It gives the Lancer and Impreza a backside kicking, but when its 20 grand more you'd expect that:)

And then someone asks you what make your 40 grand car is and you have to reply "Nissan". Hence the best reason not to get one. ;D

I'm not all that familar with the Skyline (primarly because its not the kind of car I would buy).  But, I have always been suprised that they aren't here-despite their cost I would imagine that would be very popular here.  This kind of performance car would do well here.

i would have to agree that a skyline is probably one the fastest ways to get from  a to b....but.....somehow they arent very much fun... :(       ive driven a few, standard r34 and tuned, 450 bhp, and while obscenely quick, offer no real challange to the driver. steering feedback is very limited, and you find yourself going extremley quickly but with no real sensation of going fast, if you get me. if i could afford one then i probably would get one, but only in addition to a ferrari 360 or similar...i like to feel whats going on, and in great handling cars, the more effort you put in the bigger the  ;D!

The someone asks you "what make of car do you drive?"

Personally, I never want to have to reply "Nissan" to that question.

mmm Woodlouse has it down correctly. Certainly you dont want to say as he said you paid 50 grand for a car only for them to ask what, BMW, Mercedes, Jaguar, Aston Martin. No Nissan :o :)

we have a version of the current non gt-r "skyline" (::)) in the Infiniti G35 coupe. to bad nissan never brought the r34 over, that would be great. there are people in the US that import R34 GT-R's for about $100,000. for that money you could import a Noble M12 M400!
