Ok never saw that one before. It probably is just a model since the GTR hasnt come out as yet. Guess they just made the G35 coupe alittle more boxy to get that look

Thats actually the R35 skyline concept shown at the tokyo auto show.

Ok. Take a look at the regular Skyline http://www.batfa.com/new_car_nissan_skyline.htm The one you saw is a concept GTR

GAH!! thats way too boring...

See that s what alot of people dont understand. The Skyline is actually a family car, but there are different levels of trim. The most popular being the GTR over the GTS which is RWD

Hate to dissapoint but the supra is going to look VERY similar to the skyline ecept worse. I've seen the design scheches and when I remember what site thier at I'll put it up.

Oh I think the G35 looks good, to me the best looking new car out there. Wish I could pimp one right now I heard 2005 for the Supra too. I dont think the Altezza would do good here. Not for the market its in. Not enough power. It really needs the 2JZ since it is marketed with the BMW 3 series.

woah woah woah, is the the Lexus IS300 the same exact thing as the Altezza?

wadadlianu · « **Reply #22 on:** Sep 14, 2003, 03:55:49 am »

They have different engines and transmissions. IS300 is alittle more tuned for luxury.

oh, okay good, For a second i felt really dumb.

what exactly are the differences? What engine does the altezza have?

Teranfirbt · « **Reply #24 on:** Sep 14, 2003, 04:00:11 am »

300 means it has a 3 litre... im pretty sure the same 3 litre as the 4th gen supra.

Bridge · « **Reply #25 on:** Sep 14, 2003, 04:06:38 am »

i know what the number means... i just thought the IS300 and Altezza were the same cars. i didnt know there was any difference.

wadadlianu · « **Reply #26 on:** Sep 14, 2003, 04:10:33 am »

It uses a 2JZ with variable valve timing on the intake side. Nothing really special

Bah, I love the way the G35/R35 Skyline looks. That pic of the concept GTR is actually sweet, you need to get more pics, I think it looks bad ass. For the 350z, ummmmm I love it...Im just really partial to Nissans, but I think the 350z is one of the baddest lookin cars, especailly in white :D

The R34 looks better R34>R35

Yes Toyota need to import some of there better cars. From what I read they(Toyota) has a Corolla in Europe that is a hatchback but with the Celica GT-S engine.
Yes the Celica need RWD and more troque+lower price or bring back the Supra.
This so funny last night at work I was thinking the same thing. I want a new RWD Celica are a new GT-4 at a good price(say 24kmax)

But hey atleast Toyota has not ruinned the Celica like Mitsubishi did with the Eclipse. If Toyota said it sale the AE-86 agian, I would rob a bank today and buy one tomorrow. Or put a turbo back in the MR-S.
In the 80s Toyota had Four Sports car to pick from AE-86 Celica GT-S, All-Tracs/Gt-4s, Supra and the Mr-2, One for every price range plus a Mid-engine car. There was only one other car company to make a small mid-engined sports car here in the US and that was a peice of shit.

This may be treason but if Nissan brought back the 240sx/Siliva(for 18K) I would think about buying one, like test drive one everyother day. FWD sucks ass.
