Vw Skyline R36

[R34]

Dammit ! I think I want one

[JAS-25T]

it's not a skyline R36.

but I agree - they are guns.

[Sheng]

mm front looks like an Audi

[JAS-25T]

Probably has the same chassis as the audi or vice vera because they are owned by VW

[scathing]

For a fraction over half the Nissan’s cost back in ’99, this Passat offers an extra pair of doors, a transmission of awe-inspiring effectiveness, twenty more horsepower and identical performance. Against the clock, it’ll exactly match the Skyline, notching 5.6 seconds to 60mph and a 155mph electronically limited top speed.

If you're measuring a stock GT-R's performance purely on its straight line abilities, you're not getting the point of the vehicle.

They are damn cool cars hey. I know a couple of people with them, and yeah. They had previously R32 golfs of GTI golfs, and they said this thing just leaves it behind in every possible way.

DSG is god.

[JAS-25T]

DSG is god

I has it.

[Kranker]

Nice car, audi S4 on a budget

they have a luuuverly interior

Had a look at its little brother the V6 4motion, before we bought the MPS 6,

if the R36 was available then it may have changed things.....

time for a test drive me-thinks.

[R34]

Yeah my daily driver is an Audi A3 with DSG and it's brilliant.

Still like a manual for weekends though.

When I read the article I thought it odd to compare this R36 to a Skyline as they are completly different beasts.

But as a daily driver this Passat wagon is definitely on my list at lease renewal time.

Are wagons the new black? Some of them look so sweet.

Seems so with these Audis,Passats and even VE Commodores

ahaha, how strange

my brother works for volkswagen and brought this car home tonight! believe me a really nice car, the blue paint and interior (especially the front seats! drools :S) are top notch. It is really tidy. has all the goodies heated and adjustable bucket seats, touch screen display, sat nav the list goes on.

as for the dsg, if you had ear muffs on you wouldnt be able to tell when the car changed gears, its that smooth.

Funny enough, just before we left an xr6 for dead by multiple car lengths, and he had a rolling head start.

really nice car overall

(p.s: i wouldnt trade my gtr though)

[iijj]

GTR34 - 0-60mph or 0-97kmh in 5.6 seconds??????

Somebody can't use a stopwatch!?!

In 400m this wagon, nice as it is, would be about 6 to 8 car lengths back....

Wagons might be the new black, but lets get our numbers right.... and these are amazing for a VW,

even for a wagon, but not for any GTR with 4 tyres!

(Even my boxy sled does 5.70 on my Apexi RSM!)

[Sklyn]

I want more pics!!!

[R34]

I want a pic of one in white as that's my preference.

Can only find blue or black

[dangerous_daveo]

Apparently they come in white...

I've got a DSG in the Jetta too. Dead set, people who say 'oh so its an auto' are just shocked when you take them for a drive.

Either way, its a only 3.6L NA 6... They are insane cars.

[tricky_dan]

If you're measuring a stock GT-R's performance purely on its straight line abilities, you're not getting the point of the vehicle.

+1

also they're comparing their all new brilliant passat to TEN year old technology from the skyline! so buying this car will get u up and running as quick as some car out 10 years ago... imagine them trying to compare a new vw to the r35 gtr!

[dangerous_daveo]

LoL, but this is an NA 6cyl family sedan... For $10k more than a car thats 10years older than it.

I must admit its one thing I've never been able to work out with all you GTR fan boys, if someone makes a compairson, you are all straight in to how the car the GTR is being compaired with is newer, but the new GTR is so much better again, when there isnt even a direct compairson to start with. Its like a 18yo going to a 10yo 'my dick is bigger, but I'll show you my balls are as well'. Well yeah...

Rant over.
