Must say that I am not a big fan of the sedan, but that goes for any series of skyline not just the V35.
However the coupe looks hot and I would love to have one.
I do have a question for those that say it is not a skyline, what makes a skyline? and before you answer please be aware of the history of the skyline and realize that it has had many different types of engines and shapes.
Is it performance? the 2005 V35 coupe is now pushing out 300hp ... 16HP more than the R34GTT which had the previous record of non GTR skylines. Is it the 1/4 mile times? again the V35 coupe has faster 1/4 mile times than any other non GTR Skyline. Is it the engine? like Funky said they haven't always been RB engines ... hell they haven't always been six cylinders either. The Nissan VQ engine has been in the "Wards top 10 car engines" for the last 10 years RB's are a great engine but so is the VQ35. The V35 coupe is also now putting out 366Nm of torque which is higher than any previous non GTR skyline, not only that it is a more linear torque curve as well.
I can remember the same sorts of people who decry the V35 now, also saying the same thing about the R34 when it first came out. Nissan are marketing these to people who can afford them .... not to the boy/toy racer who thinks turbo's are fully sic and a car can't be good without them.
well said Pred
