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.

11.7 straight out of the box is pretty damn quick. Very nice styling too.
Now if you dont mind Im going to wash my eyes with vinegar as punishment for typing that. |

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

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.

I actually really like the look of this car, the rear end needs a makeover, but from the side and front, it looks like a 300,000+ dollar car, it also goes like one.

I ordered one earlier this week.
They have a 3.8lt V6 Twin Turbo, with a rumoured 7 speed DSG gearbox. The pricing will be well over $100,000 in Australia. Delivery expected early 2009.

Looks very nice and for an 11 second car under 80k US that can reach 300km, im guessing these things will sell very very well...

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

I think I'm in lust...........................
Have been watching the progress for a while now - from memory the 7 speed wasn't confirmed but that was a little while ago. The infiniti's aren't that bad - saw a couple of models in the states I wouldn't knock back and anything is better than the 4 door R33's.... hehe
