    I think a Skyline is the right type of car for electrification. It’s not actually known for its speed but its handling and it’s usually already a heavy vehicle. I hate the SUVivication of everything though. This is definitely a good move for Nissan overall.

    The point of having car like this was so you can go really fast really quickly. At this point with all electric vehicles going to zero 60 in three seconds anyways why would you want this?

    Skyline has always been a sedan. But I wonder why they would need another crossover when the Aryia is right there.

      Um, the base model of the most famous R34 skyline was a 153 hp sedan…

        R34 skyline

        The one from 25 years ago? When Clinton was in the white house? Yes, times have changed a little. A 1998 M3 had 240 horsepower.

      I hope they can get the EV motor calibration better this time.
      I think the Ayria was better than what Toyota provided but it seems like they had long since fired anyone that knew how to make the Leaf such a utilitarian vehicle.
