All over Europe its the Nissan 350Z. Nissan have named it that in Japan to try to attract the previous Skyline owners looking for the newest model. But in comparison, they are totally different cars.

Skyline - 4wd
350Z - 2wd
Skyline - 2.6 twin turbo
350Z - 3.5 V6
Skyline - 4 decent seats
350Z - 2 seater

I've got Jap videos of them testing cars in standard format. Included a Honda S2000, BMW M3, Porkie Boxster, R33 Skyline, 350Z.

Now by the end of the race, the skyline was long gone, and i do mean, it just left everything. The 350Z came 2nd, but was being caught up by the M3 and S2000 at quite a pace! Boxster was no-where.

The engines different, shell is different, floorplan is different, different engin, different suspension, different wheels driving and interior is much smaller.

It is a completly different car. Its been designed to carry on the traditional "Z" cars, such as Nissan 300 etc. Its nothing to do with the skyline brand. Nissan are already testing the latest "Skyline".
