I am desperately searching thru my Dad's auto mags of this month to find the article he was describing. It supposively said that Nissan is going to counter Toyota's release of a supercar in 2005 with it's bringing of the Skyline to the US in 2007. Is this true?

As much as I love the car, I really hate that they're bringing it to the US. By the time it's out, I'll be graduated from high school, and I mean, it's bad enough that there's two 350Z's, and countless Benz/Bimmer's at my school, but what.. now there will be 16 y/o's in Skylines? C'mon.. leave something for the Japanese.

Not everyone lives in a place like that. I know I don;t, yeah there's an Evo and two STi's...but nothing too spectacular.

And about it being toned down...I doubt it. Yes, it won't be as spectacular as the Japanese version but it will still be a supercar. Honda has it's new NSX coming out, Toyota has it's new car when the Celica is gone, Nissan wants to step up to the challenge. The JDM Skyline will still be a fabled car, because liek you said it will have more power. Just think of the market for JDM engines too. If you think this is a bad thing, I think you're nuts. The release of an actual skyline-esque automobile that is turbocharged and all wheel drive is an awesome deal. I can't wait.
