i also bought a "Skyline"

well, an Infiniti G37xS coupe.

kind of a modern mashup of two of my favorite cars - an SVX and a 928. AWD like the SVX, the instrument pod moves with the steering wheel like the 928. not as good-looking as either, but not bad.

330hp, factory big brakes, sport suspension, sport seats, and lots of luxury and gadgets. i need a little luxury now that i'm getting older added a powered subwoofer and blacked out the chrome around the grille.

Technically, it is called the Skyline in Japan.

Thumbs up Re: i also bought a "Skyline"

Congratulations. IMHO, this is as close to a modern day SVX as you are going to get!

Re: i also bought a "Skyline"

Been eyeballing those, too, lately. I hadn't noticed the similarity to the 928 till you pointed it out. Very true. Only, probably cheaper to drive, more reliable, more comfortable, faster...
Now keep it off the salty roads!
