No Kanji, just katakana. スカイライン

地平線 (Kanji) means horizon, kinda the same I suppose.

hmmm,ok,

ok then,so what iv quickly read about (kanji symbols) is that they represent entire objects,idea,meaning in a visually expreessive way(is that true) so is there a symbol thats represents (the skylines in general) or am i way off

my info come from this guy (its not a direct) www.dsfy.com

You've got the wrong idea... theres no one symbol for a Skyline. Reason being is that Skyline is an English word. If it were a Japanese name (like Suzuki 'Hayabusa') then there'd be a kanji - a single character or more.

The only choice you've got is what dodgybrooks mentioned. The only other shortened form I've ever seen of 'Skyline' in katakana is 'スカ’. But thats not a universal thing... just a term of endearment by some.

Ok, to answer your question, yes a Skyline is still called 'Skyline' in Japanese vernacular, but obviously they say it a little differently albeit still understandable from a native English speakers point of view. Writing 'Skyline' can be either done using the English alphabet, or using Katakana 'スカイライン'.

Actually there are hundreds of English words used in Japanese (besides names of cars etc) and the number is growing all the time.
