Why not?

Believe it or not the entire Nissan brand is not devoted to under 25's.

Personally i think its a brilliant move and actually like it. Die hard Skyline lovers will buy it.

what better car to buy when you need a second car for the Mrs, want to head down the coast for a holiday with the kids?

The skyline "brand" has been focused on performance/sports cars in the past. Lesser so in the past few years, but the V's are still a luxury sports car or whatever category they fit in.

But the crossfire is a totally different category so I don't think it should be branded a Skyline. Surely they can think of a differnent name?

I'm a die hard skyline lover and wouldn't buy it. I have nothing against it, and think it looks ok, but just not my thing.

Fair enough,

But it does have the same 3.7 engine as the Skyline 370Gt and also the same interior.

With that engine you could easily say its a performance crossover :D.

But i do see your point.

Its listed on the SEVS list, but not confirmed as eligable at this stage. They're selling fro around 3.5m yen at dealers in Japan, so for something that would more than likely walk all over all its competition in pretty much most areas, I think its a bargain.

Just thought I would see if there is anyone out there looking to bring in the Skyline Crossover??

Cheers,

G'day Mark,

I'm interested but at this stage would not want to be a test car (wait 12 month).

Are you actually proposing anything? :)

Cheers

... I think its a bargain.

I did test drive of x1 the other day, reasonable performance model with all 'essential' features would set you back around $80-90K.. It still would not be nowhere near Crossover in terms of performance.. Interior feels cheaper in BMW as well.

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
