Thought two things when I saw it...Celica, and 350Z.
Not my kind of car, but should look good and will sell well.

They're going to be here in '09 apparently, it'll be interesting to see the effect a new global sales initiative will have on it's reputation outside of the typical Japanese racer crowd...

Is it still auto only? looks sleek, looks like it was designed built and tested in Europe in fact.

This is one amazing machine, some of you people need to get out from behind your keyboards if you think this is rice in any way shape or form. It has all the go with all of the show (that digital display is f@cking amazing) If I had the money... oh if only I had the money

11.7 straight out of the box is pretty damn quick. Very nice styling too.

Thats pretty impressive, Are those times quoted the $80kUS model? Because anything under $100kAU that can do that is amazing.

Front doesn't look aggressive enough, though this car is going to blow away many high dollar cars. It's Bang for Buck.

It will have more power and less weight than the base model. I think that will be the one everyone will be after. |

I like it. But the front is very similar in design to the New EVO

Looks pretty ugly kind of like a 350z on steroids.
Are they making any profit off it at that price?? Any comparison with Falcon is irrelevant this is a purpose built race car. I wonder when we get the regular skyline??? |

Example: the Audi R8 looks like it would eat your, spit you out and cast you remains aside. The GTR would ask if its ok before hand, clean you up, slice you into perfect pieces of Sashimi and then thank your soul for the honorable meal it just enjoyed.
