It's ok. Turns out that car became the 02 Nissan Altima. It looks like a baby Q45. It's going to be available with a 3.5l V-6 & 240bhp & manual tranny. Should blow all but the M5, S4 & the like in the weeds. Nice balls Nissan! Big article in this weeks Autoweek about MP3 Protege with it's 140bhp. Nice little car but Nissan's 02 Sentra SE-R Spec V with 180bhp & 180lbft will blow everything in it's class & others in the weeds. "If" Nissan keeps price point/performance for the new Z where it's concept was it'll rewrite the books on reasonably priced performance. I'm a Honda guy but Nissan/Infiniti are really putting out some nice products. I do own one, my wife drives an 01 QX4. Wanted a MDX but it wasn't released until two months after she needed a new SUV.

As far as I know about the R35 Skyline... It is gonna be a sport sedan such as GS300... However, GT-R will not be the same as Skyline in the future as R34... I could be wrong... but, you can see.. the Skyline is just looking bad...!! damn, I miss R34... And it seems like Nissan is gonna bring fairlady to be their main sport car??
