New Skyline spotted in the US

[dub_c]

"Around 5:30 Monday night, Keith (evo4g63) and I were heading down Cerrillos Road when we spotted the silver prototype Nissan Skyline, along with 2 black Armadas turning into an Amigo Mart on the opposite side of the road. Being that this was a rare sighting, we quickly flipped a "U" and pulled into the station. As we pulled in, the car surrounded by roughly 12 Asian guys who were logging information. Hoping that they spoke English, we decided to get down to talk with them about the car. I asked one of the guys what he thought of the car, and you guessed it, he had no idea what I was saying. However, he did manage to whisper a question into my ear, "you know GTR", in which I replied, "heck yes". As he asked me that, I noticed a large bulge on the right hand side of the covered interior. To my pleasant surprise it was a Japanese version Skyline equipped with factory turbos. We spoke with the reps from Nissan Japan a bit longer, and after a good 10-15 minutes of leg humping, let them get back on the road. The car has Michigan plates, and is being tested on US roads, so make sure to keep an eye out for it! "

So not worth the 70-90K price (+ probable dealer markup!)...looks like an assemble-by-lego car

But hey, what do I know

[Whitetiger]

That's sweet, is that a spy shot cover or a nose bra? :barf:

Where did all them Azn dudes appear from? When you get random Azn dudes walking up to ur ride, that's true coolness. :thumbsup:

WHOA! Someone in the US actually knows what a Skyline is? Crazy!

Them Japanese engineers need to have mandatory viewings of all 3 F&F movies to better understand the NA market.

[GQBalla]

damn thats so crazy.

[dennisaur]

[black13]

Not bad but R34 still takes the crown for me! I want that to be available in NA.
