It dosent look very appealing from the side. Its kinda like a G35 with sharp edges.
I would hope it looks like a G35.. because a G35 is a Skyline. I don't know what is so hard for people to grasp about that concept.

I don't get it, like every thread about the Skyline there is somebody complaining about it looking like a G35, that is like someone complaining about about an NSX-R looking like an NSX. The ignorance amazes me.

Well, I work for someone that owns a Nissan dealership. Big dealers are estimated to get 6-8 GTRs a year, smaller dealers may see 1-2 cars a year max. I would count on astronomical markups for atleast the first 12 months of production.

Then they should just say, I don't like the skyline looks instead of saying, it looks too much like a G35... same thing as saying I would like the looks of a G35 if it didn't look so much like a G35.

^Maybe the feel that it shouldn't look like a G35. People might feel for the extra money and performance they would like it to look more unique. You should of heard all the complaining about the Z06 looking to much like the C6. That makes even less sense as they are the same car. Wikipedia is reporting the GTR is not actually based on the G35 platform, but I can't vouch for it. I will look around a bit more.

But the GT-R has ALWAYS been based on the Skyline platform so what do you expect it to look like?
