I agree on both sides...

this car, is BUTT UGLY. Sorry, it just is. But, that is THIS car. Too ricey and not enough accentuation on what little curves it does have.

But, skylines, in general, arent half bad looking cars. They surely wont win in a beauty contest, but they can punch the beauty queen in the face REAL hard...

I think it is hot. If it was Daddy War Bucks I would get one. Ferraris are very nice, but if you are in some of the better parts of the country you might see a few around. With this car you are almost guaranteed to never see another one. Paul Walker (the guy from Fast & the Furious) had a modded Skyline in SCC recently. If I was well off like him I would definitely consider getting this car.

The R34 is nice looking, but I think the best looking Skyline IMO is the R33. Something about the looks just mezmerizes me!

I do agree there are better looking cars than our Rx8, one of them is the Lotus Esprit! I would give up the 8 for one of those! Beautiful!

you can usually find used Skylines sitting on dealers lots in the Southwest USA. You can get them cheap if you pay cash.

Haven't you all seen the prelude to "2 fast 2 furious"?

oh yeah, I would buy this if i had the capitol.
Noone ever said that a ferrari was a great bang for the buck. People who buy Ferraris "hang them on the wall". Im pretty sure that the Viper or the new Vette Z06 could take out a Ferrari 360.

I think both the Z06 and Viper could hang with and mabye beat a 360, but with about 1/10 of the emotion. That's what you paying for. There is a limit to how fast cars can go, and I think we are quickly reaching that cieling. Once you have Chevy, Chrysler, Ford, Japanese marks, Porsche, Ferrari etc in the same performance league, it will be the intangibles that you are paying for. In the case of Ferrari, their cars feel organic, like you are a part of it, not sitting in it. I know it sounds cheesey, because I told people it was cheesey when they explained it too me, after driving a few ferrari's they're spot on. No other car comes close, that I have driven anyway.
