Or rather a country where the only officially imported Skylines were GTRs...
Pah... MR2 Turbo's were never imported. They are well known, however. As I said, an ill-educated populace. They probably don't know that the Vaux monaro is a Holden, and is sold in the US as a Pontiac GTO. I bet they don't know shedloads of stuff, but ho hum...
i class myself as a petrol head. but like said above the skyline is only imported in GTR form, we have very few that aren't GTR. and for me like the evo's and scoobies the skyline is just an uprated saloon car to me.
i recognise and respect the performance figures, and the ability, but they do nothing for me. strip away all the bumpers and turbos, and all your left with is a glorified hyundai family car. (styling wise).
its the old horses for courses. there are cars that i like that others will think are terrible, and vice versa.
