Looks like a Scion TC mated with a 350z.

The back looks hot, but the roof line is still growing on me.

Looks like a boxy and more agressive G35 coupe. Wonder if the new 2008 G35 coupe will take styling cues for the GT-R.

I thought that the G35 was going to turn into the GT-R? O.o? Am I wrong?

Looks really nice [seal of approval] ...looks like it could eat highways and dragstrips for snacks X.x

As I recall the V6 is for us and V8 is well not for us. But they did not say if it was going to be turbo or not and I think the V8 will have 600 and the V6 400. I cant remember.

I doubt it'll get a V8 anywhere else. that's just stupid. weight and gas mileage difference... not to mention production costs.
