Ok first thugs first.... Take that damn v6 out and replace it with a straight 6 or surpass people and make it a killer straight 8. Use more of the original design of the skyline, throughout the years you could tell the cars were skylines now the only thing that displays this is the gtr emblem! Weight is not really going to happen as most of the people who can afford these cars are not it our age range. The majority of us probably can't afford 100k car, they should make it cheaper. And like many other people have said make many more options than just one. And get rid of that stupid paddle shift bs!!! I like everyone else loves to enjoy driving the car, not granny shifting!!!!

None of that will happen. It's not a Skyline anymore, it's a GT-R. The car is already a steal at it's price, originially Skyline GT-Rs were around 6,000,000 Yen new IIRC. Part of the reason the GT-R is so fast is because it can shift in less than half a second. And as for an I6 or I8, that just won't happen, the V6 is proving itself to be an awesome motor, and can handle a beating. I don't really think you can knock either parts of the powertrain until you've driven one. It was almost more fun to drive than my R33... Almost.

@leeaspin: Toyota's got the LF-A, and the FT-86 is coming up. The company's making a return to it's sportier roots for sure.

I dunno, JDM cardom just started going downhill after 2002... I seriously don't have any brand loyalty (except pre-2002 nissans) because I think they've all lost their past focus. Sure it's nice going forward and all but I just feel like they've all dropped the ball a decade ago, felt a big hole where sports cars should of been, and now they're trying to fill it back up, cramming it with current high-tech fancy trends because there's money to be made.

It just doesn't feel right.
