That would have been awesome, Then King Kong could have just jumped to another building instead of getting all shot up.

I heard a rumor that the US was going to be getting the Skyline in '07. I don't see how though, it would complete with the Z.

I doubt Nissan would be dumb enough to put 2 cars in the same class. It's bad enough with the Infinity G35.

However, I would love to get my hands on a left hand drive skyline, but it would be a tough call having owned 3 Z's in the past and loved every one of them.
This is pure sex right here though:

For some reason I don't think the old school skylines are as cool as the old school Z's. I had a '72 240z and a '77 280z and both were bad ass. My '83 300 was cool too, but not nearly as cool as my '72. Talk about nothing but raw power! No power nothing!

I like the older body styles.

The best cars are the ones that didn't make it to the US (that I know of).

Toyota Crown...

stevew, your affection for all things old school surpases even mine. I just love technology too, so blending both is my dream.

That Toyota is damn nice by the way.
