we are not saying the new skyline is a bad car or a loser being compared to the european competitors. it is down to personal perferences only, jap cars are reliable and all but the badge just dont win me over.
mind you i am not the sort who would buy a 20 year old BMW instead of a top of the range micra just to show off, but for 50k i could buy something a tad bit better than nissan.
one question you gotta ask yourself though - with the lottery jackpot, would you stay with jap only or would you also like to try out a merc, bmw, lotus, porsche, ferrari?
i just think the european cars can suit more occasions if u know what i mean, an M3 for instance wouldnt look out of place visiting the local shop, picking girlfriend up, picking up mum and dad-in-law, race down the pod and taking mates to pub and clubs etc etc.
pretty much like the debate between golf GTI vs civic type r, CTR would win hands down in all sort of areas but as an all rounder (plus the badge as well) GTI truimphed as car of the year.
