Interesting but not at a projected $100K CDN based on the article quoting between $70-$80K USD price <_<

It's hot, but that price makes me want to just run away screaming into rush hour traffic.

I'd still rather have a R32-R34 Skyline... an inline-6 makes for a much smoother-revving engine than most V6s.

If I wanted an Infinity... I wouldn't go out and buy the rebadged and retuned Skyline. And vice versa, if I wanted a Skyline, i'd go out and find an old Skyline (right hand driver and all) :D

Regardless of my ignorance, this car will kick ass. And by the looks of it, turn heads too.

I'm sorry, but I think it looks pretty sharp.. It keeps a lot of basic design elements of the r32-34.. and if they can shed the weight.. it'll be a real contender..

And a rear-biased AWD system owns cheasy Front-biased AWD..woot!

of course, it doesn't really look like a $100,000 car tho... the downfall of the VW Phaeton. I'm sure the car will have a $100,000 presence in person tho..

its hard to se but if you look at the lines under the front grill "cover" and the lines at the front of the hood, there is definitely alot of R34 still there and the lines that follow down the side look amazing. the wheels really help set the imgae of the car too.

too bad i wont be able to afford a "toy" like this for anohter 10 yrs and then how wil it compare to other cares in the price range/toy category??

I'm still importing a Skyline. It just won't be that particular flavour of Skyline.
