Nissan GT-R announced

In the racer culture of the U.S., the Nissan Skyline GT-R has a legendary status as being a monster of a sports car that isn't available here. A Japanese Mustang. Some were imported in from Japan and through Canada, while others were shipped in from Japan under Motorex's watch in Southern California. There's probably only a few dozen Skyline GT-Rs in the United States -- a used version of this 10-15 year old car will run you over 50 grand, so they wind up in the hands of the rich car enthusiasts who are willing to go through the extra effort of this almost mystical car.
When the Infiniti G35 came to the US, it marked the first time a Skyline had been officially brought into the United States. Hopes for the GT-R version to be brought over was high amongst enthusiasts, in fact, the biggest uncertainty seemed to be over which brand the GTR would more likely to arrive under -- Nissan or Infiniti? Today that question is answered by the president of Nissan, announcing at the New York Auto Show the car as the Nissan GT-R.
