here is where the story first originated. since the skyline became the G35 and then Q it makes more sense something like this would happen because it no longer has association with the GTR

This is basically what happened to the Toyota Crown.

The transition of branding boring cars with legendary names to try and entice people is speeding up.
But the car is still boring, and now the name is muddied ?

Meh

Speaking of Sacrilege how about this NSX sitting in a river bed for 20years.

Well, the platform was shared and a coupe and sedan were offered.

I highly doubt Nissan will have a sedan and coupe version, almost guarantee no coupe version of a full BEV Skyline

God damn it Nissan, don't pull a Mitsubishi on us.

A little bit of the Z design language here. It looks a bit like a Z that needs to go on a diet.

Nah, Nissan pioneered the "Floating Roof" years ago - that's just Nissan's corporate design language at work, not Z

Jesus, this is rough.

Just...stop co-opting model names that have legitimate performance roots for bland, uninspired crossovers. I understand that the objective is to entice potential buyers by implying that this is also a sleek performance vehicle (and not a bloated, high-riding 4-door with a hatch), I understand the concept. But who is this persuading??

Is anyone truly buying, say, a Mach-E because they are convinced that it's somehow dynamically related to a low-slung, 2-door pony car?

Ford had an awesome retired name they should have used for the mustang SUV....
"Galaxy" spelled as "Galax-E"

Honestly, seems everything's getting recycled these days. Movies, music, nothing original at all.

Ooh, another SUV for an epic Costco run

Eclipse, is that you?

Not so much the floating roof as the little mountain peak on the last pilar.
