I hope they kept the Skyline taillights

 

Something like 3-4 cubic feet is lost I think. Our trunks are already quite large for this class. But if the mpg is a big improvement, it's a sacrifice I see a lot of people willing to make.

 

Found a pic of the tailights. They took a different take on the iconic Skyline circle tails. They look nice

 

Since battery pack is in the rear of the car, I can only imagine the RWD Hybrid is gonna have tons of traction and is gonna propel like a bat out of hell. Easily a high 12 second car.

 

I


I have a feeling that this is not going to be next Skyline, it'll be just Q50. Up till now the Nissan jp website has not yet revealed anything about new Skyline yet. Yes I think this is the end of Skyline in the US.

 

Huh?? Can you clarify just exactly what you mean? You do know Nissan sells the gtr right ? I just want to understand better what it is your trying to say.

 

So I got to finally watch the reveal and JdN's speech. I did not understand his comments to mean that the 4 cylinder turbo and diesel powered variants are bound for the US market. I got the impression at all that those power plants will be available in other international markets where people will actually buy them like Asia and Europe. Those cars wouldn't as sell well here as you might think. At lest not traditionally. That's why we don't hardly any of them.

 

Man, some of you guys are generally some sour apples. Comparing this thread with the thread at Club Lexus of the 2014 Lexus IS Release, those guys gave mostly good remarks of it, along with constructive criticism here and there. Over here it's bogus comments such as "There's no 6MT so I'm completely writing it off" and others. I understand everyone has opinions but you could at least show some kind of recognition with the amount of improvements made.

Anyways, it's a nice car so far. Love the pics so far, but reserving opinion until I see it on the lot. The vast amount of tech added makes me optimistic.

 

I hope so, Nissan realy needs to bring back the glory to the Skyline name!

They should make a 4dr coupe with square styling and round tails, would be a perfect skyline.

 

I really like the way LEXUS did the 2014 IS350 F Sport. I like that it's got a lot of Qus' from the LFA.

 

For some people not having a manual is a deal breaker. No problem with that, it's personal preference. I think the car looks great, the more I look at it and view the interactive presentation on Infiniti's website the more I like it. What I don't like is this question mark of an updated powerplant that could come within a few years of the release, or maybe even next year. I'd hate to be like the poor BMW guys who bought their e90 330i only to see the 335i come out like a year later and blow the 330i out of the water.

 

The Infiniti G35 is the Nissan Skyline 350GT
The Infiniti G37 is the Nissan Skyline 370GT

What he is asking....is if the new Infiniti Q50 is the new 2013 Nissan Skyline 370GT or Nissan Skyline 350GT Hybrid.

 

What i dont understand is why didnt Infiniti just introduce the brand into Japan with the Q50?? Lexus is already in Japan now Infiniti needs to catch up.

 

What other makes/models sell a hybrid that are successful?

I can think of the Prius, Camry, Lacrosse, Honda models, Hyundia, and maybe a few others.

Is this who they are trying to compete against? Why is anyone excited about a hybrid?

Maybe I am missing something but I hate the hybrid, maybe someone can enlighten me on this aspect.

 

I really hope this is just an initial introduction and Nissan will bring in some real engine for this car no no not the hybrid.......if I concerned about gas mileage I'd gotten a Camry. The only reason for buying the G instead of a bimmer is because it's performance and more importantly its other name, the skyline.
