While we were hav­ing tech­ni­cal dif­fi­cul­ties this week, Nis­san released the V36 Sky­line Coupe! Unfor­tu­nately, it’s not turbo, per­haps fully mark­ing the sev­er­ance between the Sky­line and now stand­alone GT-​​R — a now com­pletely dif­fer­ent vehicle.

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.
