Best looking japanese supercar - Page 3

The question that bugs me is:

Is this machine worth this money? technically speaking...

Technically speaking, the Skyline is not a bad buy - if you live in Japan. It's a well developed car, thats' why it's such a popular tuner base. It's when importing it to another country, like the U.S. that the question is no longer whether the car is worth the money, but rather how big of a thing do you have for the Skyline.

No, I meant that this car costs 90000$ out of the factory door. Is it realy worth it or is just pumped up?

it's basically a 240SX that's had a turbocharged version of nissan's japanese market inline-six dropped under the hood.

I wouldn't narrow it down to that exactly. The Skyline has traditionally always been a showcase for Nissan technology. It's a car one would buy for the refinement of it's parts, and it's moves - not it's ammenities. There is nothing particularly luxurious about it's finish.

I would say that the equivelent of $90,000 U.S. for a GT-R is a bit inflated, but the car's potential is great, and of course the demand is there.

For 90k, you get a car functionally no greater than a mustang cobra that retails for 30k. actually, a cobra can be taken through the mcD's drivethrough, the skyline, not so much. it's a novelty more than a practicality

Sorry to stop your digressing, but I cast my vote for the Mazda RX-7, it has beautiful and tasteful styling. NSX Type-R comes in as a close second, as it is also a beautiful car, but it just lacks something, maybe its not original enough. I don't see the whole deal about the Skyline, sure it looks pretty good, but other than the r34 gt-r the styling is pretty bland.

The fact that so many people voted for skyline shows that the car looks good. You have the right to your opinion, but when so many people like it...it really means there's something to it.

It simply means that the car is popular. That is all.
