Default New Skyline??

was driving into the city today and i saw this car on the side of the road a a dealership.. i saw SKYLINE on the back, it looked like a cross between the new maxima, 350z. basically it was a new design.....i didnt realise the new Skyline was already for sale......i read in the PUB it was only Concept atm...
could i be wrong....and sorry there are no pics...BUT any info regarding the New skyline would be intriging and heloful.

i just found this... this is what it looked like. i can tell from the back and the fact that the word SKYLINE is on the back...

What you saw is a Nissan V35 Skyline, which has been on sale since 2001.

As has been said repetiadley, the concept is the Nissan GT-R, which does NOT wear the Skyline badge anymore. Skyline = luxury/family car. GT-R = sports car. They are completley seperate cars now, the R34 GT-R, which ceased production in 2002, is the last GT-R to wear the Skyline badge.

Thats not that new, its a V35 Skyline, 3.5ltr V6, basically a 2 door Maxima, they go alright, not as good as a 350Z.
I've seen a few imports around Bris. I've put a few sets of 20's on some.

The Infiniti G35 is a compact executive car introduced to North America in the 2003 model year. It is known as the 11th generation (V35) Nissan Skyline in Japan. It is available in sedan and coupe forms. A 6-speed manual transmission became available in 2003 as a 2003.5 model on the sedan (the coupe always had the option). For the 2003-04 model years, the V6 produced 260 horsepower and 260 ft·lbf of torque in the sedan, 280 horsepower and 270 ft·lbf in the coupe. In the 2005 and 2006 model years, those with automatic transmissions (both sedan and coupe) produced 280 horsepower and 270 ft·lbf of torque, while those with manual transmissions produced 298 horsepower and 260 ft·lbf of torque (again, both in sedan and coupe form).

YAY i was right
