It's a GT-R that is somewhat more practical. Cool.

Meh. It's just a car to me.
But.... GT-R...

Also, @Roger the Horse I don't mean to be rude, but the picture you chose isn't the greatest. You can't exactly tell much about this car from it's ass.
 
Looks bland like dry Melba toast, however the engine and drivetrain drag it out of uncool to a Meh.
 
Except it looks a lot like a regular R33 sedan from the rear. Not exactly the same, but from first glance, it does.

There are a lot of these around where I live for some reason. They look different to the Autech to me. They're also surprisingly small in real life.
 
Don't like the R33, don't like the Skyline sedan, but a more understated look from behind raises it up from a "Meh" to a low Cool.
 
I don't mind it's ass. It would be meh. But it's a bit of a GT-R and the GT-R it's cool on it's own way. So I voted cool.
 
The only people who would recognize it = uncool.
Everyone else would wonder what happened to that 90's Maxima's behind.

Not that car geeks are cool, but I have to disagree that your average ignorant bystander is any cooler. Somewhere over 90 percent of people are uncool. ;)
 
Sleepers are played out and weren't even that cool to begin with. Some would argue that the point of sleepers is to be a bit uncool.

This car in particular looks more like a generic sedan that got a Skyline body kit.

Sums it up for me. And yes, sleepers are uncool. Not seriously uncool, though.
 
+10 points for being an R33. Nowhere near as overrated or thrown together looking as the one that followed, and with a bunch of the kinks worked out of the previous one (albeit not having quite the same level of racing pedigree).



-70 points for being the gimmicky ugly one that people would never recognize unless they played GT2. It's not even really a sleeper, since from any angle but straight back it still looks like a GTR. It's just an incoherent mess of attempts to be subtle and attempts to be ostentatious.

Cool, just cool

It does not have the looks, but if it had them, it would stay cool, reason explained above by Tornado ↑

I still like GT-R's ,though
 
Seriously uncool (waits for rage).

What Nissan did was take one of the most iconic tuners of the century and basically put an extra set of doors on it. It's like taking the Mona Lisa and sending it to a 5 year old to scribble on it! Not sure if that's going to sell for millions now...

In other words, I wouldn't get one. Performancewise, I don't think it's even up to par with the coupe model, specifically in cornering with the extra set of doors.

Also... WHERE'S THE WING?!
 
They took a Skyline, originally cool, and gave it four doors, bringing it to meh. Sports sedans are rarely uncool in my opinion; this one would be cool if it wasn't supposed to be a 2+2.

What Autech actually did was take a standard R33 Skyline sedan, beef it up a little, and gave it a little GT-R-ness.

The Skyline has always been just an average FR sedan. The original (1969-1972) GT-R was initially only available as a four-door. It's like a Japanese BMW 3-series. The GT-R was just a range-topping, high performance two-door version of a sedan.

While the GT-R is its own car now, the Skyline has continued on with its FR sedan-ness, also known as the Infiniti G35/G37/Q50.
 
The Nismo version was one of the most attractive cars for me in GT2. ^_^

THIS WAS IN GT2?

I can't revote anymore? I regret voting it MEH!

Oh wait. The one in the OP had no spoiler, that's the reason it was meh so, nvm. BUT THE GT2 ONE IS TOTALLY SUB FREEAKING ZERO. God I love that thing. <3
