Why would they use the M45 platform? They already have the Skyline in Japan which is the same style/platform as the G35, not to mention the car would need a ton of HP to make up for the extremely heavy frame.....

The one being released in america will not look anything like a R34 skyline or a G35.

that doesn't make sense. for them to not put the skyline gt-r ON the skyline platform (g35 here) would be like putting the STi on a different platform than the impreza wrx...

ive seen pics of what they want to release. and its definatly a hatchback. Its a completly new platform. They changed from the R34 platform to the G35 platform. Why wouldn't they change it again?

yeah, the G35 platform was just a a new model, that's all. just like going from the R32 to R33 to R34.

the only way the gt-r going on a new platform is if the skyline (g35) is going to that platform, too.

M45 is way way to big for the Skylines market.

BOUT FREAKING TIME!!!

Japan hasnt cranked out any supercars since 98. Now someone call toyota and beg for something with a big engine and FR.

2008 Toyota Supra
On Sale : Unconfirmed
These photos were Japanese interpretations of the next-gen Supra. Toyota is currently testing a supercar in the $100,000 range. Technology from this car may pass down to a future Supra, which may receive anything from a boosted V6 to a V8, or even a hybrid in its top form. Toyota has no comment, but the Supra nameplate will be back.
