I am saying up tonight! :dance:

are they going to have a live feed for the skyline or?

I am not for sure. Have to wait and see.

I am downloading some stuff on the PS3 (with a Japan log in).

I have a most recent Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, and they release cars on the prologue (aka: demo) with the release of cars at the TMS.

I keep ya updated

Somehow i am not too stoked about the new
 skyline, hopefully most of them wont be riced out. :turbonoes_3:

problem is the cost.. i dont see myself spending 70k on a car like that.. i could probably get 2 LS'S..:runcoold:

70,000 is a **** load to see a ricer spend...

I don't think we will see them on every corner, like some cars.

Not to many people have $70k and know about the GTR... i think

the GTR definitely looks unique, and probably looks much bigger in real life.

Price wise it may sound expensive for what you see. But performance wise, I don't think Nissan is fuking around  as it was intended to compete with the supercar exotics. 

Personally IMO, the design is not as striking as when the NSX came out. That's gonna be a problem

Yay, i will be there in under 2 weeks!

I'll let you all know what its like in person :)

I saw the near final prototype at the Osaka Motor Show.  The front still seems awkward to me.  I cant wait to start seeing these in the street.  In the mean time I will have to keep looking at the crown athletes that the Toyota reps drive around in my neighborhood.

They are releasing the crown here? 

That's more impressive than the lame GT-R. I'm sure all the Evo fanboy's will sell out and buy the GT-R.

Not impressed with the GT-R...no more inline 6....BAH humbug!

who cares?
its a skyline....fanboys everywhere rejoice

AFAIK they are not releasing the crown here.  The crowns that I see are MFG (manufacturer) plate cars that the representatives @ Toyota headquarters get to drive around to get lunch etc.  Someone from Nissan HQ drives a silver Stagea wagon and takes that thing all around the South Bay.

I'm still debating whether or not I want to go. 

I want to see the GT-R, but I'm not sure there will be anything else of interest there.

Maybe if we go visit our friends in Chiba soon.

BMW Concept1 I likes:biggthumpup: ....new GTR...not so much :sad:

Ok, so how is it that they can drive around with these cars that have not been deemed safe/can't pass california registrations for the US market, yet we can't?  That's a pretty nice double standard.

gtr is aight .... my y34 is almost lighter than that
