So...those concept shots from a year ago was exactly correct. I still don't really dig it. Its probably a fenders thing. I have the hots for fenders. WRX Sedan, 22B STI, R34 GTR, etc etc.

The profile is very nice, but I don't know about the rear. Just my two cents.

Isit just me or does the back look like a Corvette???? Looks too much like the 350Z not enough personality of it's own

I'm trying really hard to like it because I really really want a GT-R. But God damn it is fugly as hell! I hope they make some minor cosmetic changes and/or it looks a lot better in person.

Its like a dream come true then someone kicks you in the ballz.

I like everything but the front end.
The rear looks like a skyline to me.
Front end reminds me of the new Cadillacs. Nose punched in, leaving a flat face. Not so pretty. Looks like fun anyway.

I not too happy with the direction they're taking the design of the Skyline. There are some real nice things about it but... It's looks like a new Cadillac and a Nissan 350Z or G35 clash of ideas.

id still like to drive it though

i'm not really into the R35, at least in those pics. like many others have said, it looks too much like a 350Z/G35, and not enough like it's own car.

the other thing that strikes me as odd, is that it'd being offered with a N/A V8 motor? since when are skylines powered by N/A V8's?

personally, i don't see why they won't just bring the R34 here...

Since companies such as Toyota and Nissan decided to produce n/a motors in their sports cars instead of a turbo inline 6. The Next-Gen Supra is heavily rumored to have a Toyota designed V8 that Toyota is trying to break in with into Nascar.
