Our Word

We can’t help feel a sense of loss even while looking at this handsome car. Gone are the days of the turbo Skyline marque, replaced with large displacement cars which in their own right are great, but there’s something in the personality of a turbocharged Skyline which is gone, at least for a while. Still, the car is extremely handsome and should to well when badged as the Infiniti in the US.
