do you like the new skylines?

[Shimmy]

i havnt read all all the replys but...

heres my opinion...

i think it looks too much like an Inifnity G35 Coupe`... although they are basically the same car... so that might not make much sence...

in a way... i think that this V-35 model has kinda ruined the Skyline name... although it does kinda look alright and could grow on me... but yeah...

heres a few pics i found a loooooong time ago... of what a possible R/G/V-35 wouldve/couldve looked like... but as much as i know... its just some fan art... or somthin...

and of course the one that everyone would know of... the R-35 concept...

[funkymonkey]

the first two were an artist impression created by blending a Tommy Kiara R34 bodykit with a Hyundai Tiburon.

The Artist did a good job then...looks great to me

There is no basically about it......The G35 Infinity IS a V35 but with LHD.

Thought the early concept in those last two pics looked terrible

u know what issue of HPI?

[readyGO]

in my oppinion, it ISNT a skyline.... the skyline died for me on r34........

to me this is just another great nissan, seriously guys if nissan didnt say it was a skyline and said hey look we have a new car and gave it some new outrageous name everyone would be like aww looks so cool.... but since its WRECKING a legacy that we all hold dear.. it realy turns us against the car. The power figures of the car itself are impressive, and hey it DOES look good with a kit and rims..... the only thing they should of done is not relate this new car ANYWAY what so ever to a skyline.....

just my two cents..

Yeah good point. They were obviously banking on the Skyline name to sell more cars.

At least they didn't go and put Skyline badges on the Maxima

V35 350GT

I love it and would be proud to say it was 100% Skyline

WHAT!!! That's a skyline? I could have sworn that was an 350Z

Nissans design levels have sank to a level comparable of Holdan or Ford *EVERY F#CKING CAR LOOKS THE SAME* I'll photochop in a maxima next time...

[R34]

 I'll photochop in a maxima next time...

Be nice or I'll have to photoshop a 33 against a Magna

[R34]

Yeah what am I thinking they are ugly and have no soul

[geno8r]

Be nice or I'll have to photoshop a 33 against a Magna

By all means please go ahead...

[Shimmy]

I love it and would be proud to say it was 100% Skyline

but it lacks the muscular and mean evil look of a skyline...

it looks... like a luxury car...

it would be a competitive car against the soarer...

but it doesnt carry nothing over of a skyline...

Let's play spot the difference.

I'll start...

...um...

OK

Length

Width

Height

Grill

Grill placement

Headlights

Taillights

Bonnet

Bumpers

Doors

door handle placement

Bootlid V's Hatch

Other than mechanically tell me which parts interchange that you can see

Sure they followed a theme but one that works

And for those who knock Carlos

Sure we don't like some of the things he's done but without him Nissan would have gone down the toilet by now their financial situation was so dire.

It's fine to build cars that push the forefront of technology such as the 32 GTR but that doesn't keep you in busness.

Better Nissan to survive and our cars maintain their resale value than go the way of Rover/MG.

Imagine those poor buggers trying to get out of their leases when they finish.

cheers

Length *No, Pfff Basically still the same

Width *No, Pfff Basically still the same

Height *No, Pfff Basically still the same

Grill *yes, I'll give you that.

Grill placement *No, your just reusing Grill to get to points & your not getting'em, Your still on 1 point.

Headlights *No, Pfff Basically still the same shape

Taillights *Yes, ok different.

Bonnet *No, Pfff Basically still the same

Bumpers *Pff

Doors *No, Pfff VERY similar

door handle placement *No, your trying to get 2 points again... not happening...

Bootlid V's Hatch *Ok, spose... but who cares about that.

So you end up with 3 points... Yep… REALLY different cars…

Yes, but better to simply not make anther skyline if it's just going to be a Maxima / 350Z Hybrid anyway... At least not call it a skyline, there’s nothing skyline about it!!

[Nexus9]

Haha your'e funny

yeah like Nissan have never before had more than one model that looked practically the same as another model before and shared the same parts.

let me see

R30- 31 Skyline / Pintara

R32 Coupe / S13

R32 Sedan / Cefiro

180sx / 240 sx/ 280z

how far back do I have to go???

It is a fact that the Skyline really only started to look different from the other models with the R33 and R34 and possibly the R32 GTR not the GTS/T

All car manufacturers share similar design features between models and share parts and panels, this cuts down on the total cost of manufacture for indivedual cars.

Either way this poll has been running for quite awhile now and it seems that more people like or are willing to accept it than those that don't/won't. 103 to 37 so I guess that is the end of that.

It is always easier to jump on a negative band wagon than to accept new ideas.

Or maybe we should all go back to the designs of the 50's of big blocky cars with fins, I mean my grandfather thinks those cars are the best designs and everything newer is crap, so going by the same logic as the other people who like the older designs he must be right.

Oh well each to their own :bahaha:

It's only the internet and not everyone is going to agree on everything

Carry on

[R34]

Yes you hit the nail on the head there Chris.

Some people are just slow to accept change and maintain their narrow viewpoints long after others have moved on.

I was one of the first to get an R33 then a R34 in spite of owners of the previous models telling me how ugly they are. Look how they accept them now.

Mind you even now if I see a nicely done up HR31 I wish I had the spare garage space :love:

Yes this thread has served it's purpose

Cheers

Er, the Skyline/Pintara separation was just cynical marketing, much like the 350Z/Skyline issue now. At least Toyota doesn't call its' 4 Cylinder Camry a different car to its V6.

You're comparing a 180SX to a 240SX? They weren't even sold in the same market - they were different names for the same car (except engine) in different market.

If you think the R32 and the S13 and the Cefiro look the same that's up to you I guess.

For those of us who care, we are bitterly disappointed that not only has the styling become homogenised, but the engine is the same, and the chassis is the same, and the engine is the same! Rotating a door handle doesn't impress us, sorry. Very disappointing for flagship models of a manufacturer.

my view.... front looks shit ...way too much like a lexus, 350z or maxima. BAck looks alright though. I reckon the concept skyline, the black and silver one would have been a much better step in the right direction....(i love that car looks awesome !)

[geno8r]

I didnt think the G35 Skyline could bring down the skyline visuals any more but it looks like the current 2007 GTR is even worse... so ugly... nothing compliments the other.... Looks like they've thrown on a r33 GTR wing & just expected that shape to suite, Those rims are a gay spoke pattern & It almost looks like that car wants liposuction too... ahhh man... the r34 ZTune is truly the Last GTR.
