Yawn. Complete failure by Nissan, especially after all the hype. Deserved or not, the Skyline had a large following. Now they've delivered a car that weighs over 3800 pounds, doesn't come with a manual transmission, and costs over $60,000. I was hoping for something like the R8... big dissapointment.

Not to mention the 200+ hp boost and suspension. I'd love to see you find a G35 with 400hp and can lap the Nuerburgring in high 7:40s.
Yeah, as a GT-R fanboy, this is kinda sucky.

I don't believe the article merely on the fact that the new GT-R isn't a d*mn Skyline. When will these people learn?
And yes, it will feature a paddle shift, which is a form of manual. It just won't offer a stick, but not much on the market does anyways.

Once fanboyism infects you it impares all your judgement.
It's like being drunk, you lack common sense and everyone laughs at you.

Personally I think everyone needs to pop a "chill pill".
Condiser for a second which car this is. The Evo X is going to be launched with "only" a paddle-shift gearbox because it suits the type of car. Same here. The R34 already had plenty of electronics - enough to run several cars in fact - this is just the evolution.
Personally I'm reserving final judgement until the car's actually released. /hint.

I think a few people are confusing a DSG style, twin clutch paddle shift 'box with a slushbox.

Many people will buy this car and many people will want this car just because it's a Nissan Skyline. It should have a proper manual but it will still be very popular, even if the car is manufactured without a proper manual. The Nissan Skyline just has a legendary and notorious status so any real Skyline will sell and be very popular.

Unfortunately that would be true if the car WAS a Skyline. It's not. It's a Nissan GT-R. They dropped the Skyline part in the name officially.

Well it's the G37 now, and it has 330 horsepower.
