What I mean is the Skyline started life as a bread and butter car and ended, in two door from, as you say, a pretty hard core sports car. I had a sedan about 10 or so years ago when they were being distributed domestically by Nissan. Not a bad sedan but nothing special.

id expect it wouldve been better than the commodores and falcons of the day though
Build wise, ride wise maybe. It was very smooth and quiet. It had the same motor as the then current VL.

yeah the only decent 6 cylinder holdens ever had in the commodore
When the Ecotech V6 was introduced it was a good motor if a little rough on idle. Its dated now. Id rather that motor than the Nissan though.

the ecotec v6 came out in the VS, which wasnt that long ago
It was a modification of the original Buick V6 though.
