Wow. Thanks alot for clearing that up, genius.

Someone needs to introduce that man to the Skyline! All he talked about was the Z. LOL

You can't get a skyline here unless you have it specially imported, so why would he even bring it up? His point about Nissan being boring in the states for the past few years is quite valid.

I would call the NSX a supercar :(

Now that thing is amazing.

I wouldn't. It's too slow.

Yeah I must say they look a million times better in person. IMO

I agree with ya, But it's freaking Jay Leno! I'm pretty sure he can afford to import a Skyline LOL. I'm just saying, he never said USDM Nissan in his statement, I know that's probably what he meant but still. The Skyline holds the Nissan badge. And I'm pretty sure the GTR R32 is considered a supercar. He at least could have mentioned the older Skylines. I'm just bored and having nothing else to do.

He's talking to the american audience and outside most of us car geeks nobody knows what a Skyline is and is really a non-factor on US roads.


PS- I'd take an NSX since there's few cars that look that cool (and original for a car that's 18 years old now) parked in downtown plus if you can afford one then you could afford to SC it to take care of it's horsepower deficiency plus it still kills in the twisties.

The Skyline is availible from any Nissan dealer in the US as of 2009. That is a US vehicle. 69k for the base or 71k for the SRS airbag model. Check out http://www.gtrnissan.com/?Site=nissanusa&Area=GT-R_Home and build your own.

No fucking shit..... That is what the thread is about. Jay Leno talking to a US market made the statement that nothing exciting has come from Nissan in several years (referring to the U.S market obviously). Now he is excited about the new GT-R. I really didn't think my comment needed to be drawn out and explained to anyone. It was pretty simple.
