And their reporting that Acura has cut production of the RSX and no more are being made. Instead it's alledged that Acura will be replacing it with a TSX coupe.

The new generation Nissan Skyline GT-R is to be imported for US sales in Spring of 2008.

I'm more enthused about the Skyline and how impressive it either will or won't be with US smog regulations etc. Will they have to detune the motor? Not sure what the specs are but perhaps they'll be using the same engine out of the G35/350Z in which case wouldn't you simply have an AWD version of either car with computer tuner gadgetry indash?

Shall be interesting... :D

Mike posted about this (the RSX) about a month ago.

About the Skyline, ahh, who cares... everybody is always getting hard over Skylines.

Redscorp, is this the newest issue with the GT-R on the cover?

There's no exact specs yet, but based on the article, they predict that it'll still be using the VQ engine, except they expect it would be destroked to 3.2L with twin turbos. They said the cost should be around $70,000 USD.

Yes. I foolishly let my boss borrow the mag a day after I got it and I haven't seen it all week so I haven't gotten to be able to sit down and read any of it hardly.

Ghosn's decided that it'll be badged Nissan. Of course Infiniti dealers are complaining about it. Hopefully that'll keep the price down somewhat.

No pics yet. It was just a very short article.
