Nissan Skyline Crossover

[Specul8or]

Hi Guys,

Have seen a Skyline Crossover (the SUV variant of the Skyline) and am interested in knowing a little more about matters relating to importing these, namely;

* Can they be imported (my understanding is that they can be)?

* Are there any models which can or cannot (i.e exceptions to the rule)?

* Given they started selling in Japan in late 09, I imagine that the prices are still quite high (app 4.5M new for the 370 GT FOUR I believe, so probably still circa 3.6M FOB).

cant be imported at this stage and unlikely will be for a while yet (years)

They can come in under SEVS but time frame to when the car will be on the road is unknown as it takes a lot more for emissions of newer vehicles like these.

Last time I checked you would have to be a "test" car if you want to import this. I've got full booklet for car and options list. (in japanese)

They are in the country that is for sure but when available for sale it is an unknown factor.

Isn't the Skyline Crossover what they call a Dualis here in Aus?

Saw one last month at Fabcar Cannington (WA) for AU$69,xxx.

But I think it's sold already.

is this on the samish platform to the murano or completely different

it a bit expensive at that price compared to the competition...

I kinda like them but they're a bit like a BMW X6 - try to be all things to everyone, and end up not really succeeding at anything. I'd take an FX50 over one any day.

I'm at a loss to replace our Territory with anything imported with decent boot space - I'm seriously considering a Toyota Tundra at the moment...

find one in a wagon and make sure the guy that flips it does a decent job. the V8 you will like!!

[Iron Chef]

Happy wife = happy life Phil, you should know that already

Chris, the wagon is the Sequoia, and I'm still not sure if it can come through under the Tundra SEVS approval, still digging...
