actually expect to see that car sometime next year

i would say about october or so

thats when nissan releases the next years models lol

we got the 06 sentra and titan among others already

and i HIGHLY doubt they will keep them the same

the tuscani was released as a global vehicle and yet there is all kinds of differences between the tuscani and the tiburon

heck the rds never got the turby sides here in the US

I don't really like the roofline & the shape of the C-pillar.

Other than that I love it's stance & proportions... The front 3/4 view is fantastic fing02.gif

Ugly. Sorry, it is not even functional ugly, it is just plain bad looking (and not in a good way) If you look at previous Skylines, they were all based on a vehicle already in production and then everything done to them was done with the intention of making the car a better performing vehicle.

If it had a wing, it was for downforce. Carbonfibre? It was for structural reasons, ductwork and grills, it was cooling something. There was no "Fluff" done strictly for appearances sake. Look at any of the prevous Skylines.. they were brutle looking designs, brutle and functional.
