The last question sort of assumes the car is coming to US. I am very excited to hear that. The rivalry of the early 90's was scarce of its fifth competitor due to Nissan's decisions (FD, Supra, 300zx, Vr4, Skyline...). I've always considered the FD and the GTR as my top favorite "affordable" sports cars.



Are there any pictures of prototypes or whatnot? The photo's in that article looks like the current one out already, no?

Sorry IO, but that one looks butt fugly

 

the silver one IO posted is a pretty old prototype, they've had that on the boards for a good 2 or 3 years now, and i dont think anythings come of it. The red one looks like an Altima SE-R, but minus 2 doors and with a bodykit

 

So....we're supposed to be excited?

Yep, but it's the best indication to date of what the new gtr will be like.



EDIT; that other one looks like a 15 year old did it on photoshop
