According to the article in Automobile Magazine, the legendary Skyline GT-R is coming to a close. All hopes and dreams about GT-R coming to America wil be all gone. It will follow the same fate like the Mitsubishi GTO/3000GT and the FTO. Here is the article by Peter Num.
"This Summer, Nissan closes the curtain on a legend when it ceases production of the six-cylinder Skyline GT-R. Since its rebirth in 1989, Nissan's thundering 2.6 liter and supercoupe has spent a lot of time racing in Germany's famed Nurburgring Nordschleife circuit. So when Nissan deceided on a celebratory 1,000 unit run-out version of the GT-R, the Nurburgring name came up. I truth, sales of the GT-R have been slow of late Japan (maybe folks are waiting for the next edition, previewed at last years Tokyo show), but when Nissan announced a last-call edition of the car, with the a blueprinted N-1-class racing engine, gold paint & $47,000 sticker price, the entire run of "Nur" GT-R's sold out on the very first day."
So the rumor 'cutting off the GT-R' is true, all the (Concept GT-R) cars that have been planning by Nissan will go into a drain. So the 350Z/Fairlady Z will be the Nissans primier Japanese sportscar.
All hope are not yet gone, maybe they'll change their minds.
