I think it was Popular Mechanics or Popular Science something, I'm not
sure. THe problem here is that "Skyline" isn't just one model with one
engine. Heck, no. It has myriad of body types and engine models -- from
the lowly putt-putt golf cart model with Skyline body to the real GT-R (or
whatever the latest "top of the line" is).

My fearless prediction -- if Nissan does import the Skyline under the
Infiniti model, it'll probably some sort of 6-cylinder, 240-some hp, 2WD
coupe. Probably non-turbo. Or do they have any V8 that can shoe-horned
into Skyline to compete with Lexus?
