Mmm, still wish they would have stuck with at least a couple of old Skyline styling cues, but anyways, it is different, kind of reminds me of the 350Z in ways.

Meh.
I think R32s and R34s, look way better. IMO Atleast it's not as ugly, as the R33 though. |

Overall, that looks mad but I am not a big fan of the thick roofline on the side profile or the angular lip on top of the front mudguard looking back from the rear however.

Holy crap - look at those exhausts!
Looks pleasing-ish, but overall looks cheap.

Skylines just arent exciting, no matter how fast they are, or how much power they produce.

Hate the 'pillarless' a-pillar look. The car has lost the tough-ness of the old models. The rear 3/4 view however is sensational. Exhausts are almost as big as the tail lights!

Yep, it does it for me. If I wanted to spend that kind of money on a car it would be a serious contender.

i cant say, as a gtr, that i like it.
its a beautiful looking car, but gtr's arent beautiful. theyre brutish, muscular, mean. i liked that they were (simplified) a cut down sedan. they had a different, stand alone, presence to them. this looks like what a new supra would loo like. sexy car, but not a "mean" gtr.

I think it looks great, that roofline could have come straight off a 240Z and those rear quarters look well pumped, maybe it's that rear cover but it looks very 360/Masserati-ish from the rear.
I have a feeling that they are going to go for the Euro market in a big way this time, well it would make sense seeing as how they are testing it in Europe, possibly trying to get the public interest up.
