WHY Skyline?

[ForcedTorque]

Why in the hell are there so many new threads popping up involving the new Skyline?

I mean this is a Forum devoted to the TOYOTA Supra, and we are worshiping the latest sports car put out by NISSAN. What's worse, is the fact that this site is also heavily weighted down by the Cheap Ass MKIII owners, who for the most part can not afford a new Skyline. Are we all just a bunch of dreamers? Or, will we try to pass it off as we are car enthusiasts?

Many (I won't say most) on this forum only drive the MKIII until they can afford a MKIV. The price of a new Skyline is well above that.

i bought my mk3 because i wanted it , not because i could not afford something else.
if they sold brand new mk3's and brand new mk4's side by side id still buy the mk3.

Actually, what does that say about Toyota? Nissan has given the import performance world something to talk about. Toyota has seriously been lacking in that department lately. While were devoted to Toyota, the GT-R's something new and doesn't involve the same old BHG discussions.

Um Wrong !
Me and my wife are well into a Six digit income
I own my home and my cars
I can afford to buy a MK4 I actually don't want one . I like the MK3 It is more agressive looking
I Dislike the FD , MK4, And the R33 all for the same reason. They are too girly looking

SO dont Hate something just because your envious. If Nissan had sold the GTR here in the first place the Supra wouldn't be worth what it is today.
Case in point look at the price difference between an FD and a MK4 with the same miles and the same mods. The Supra is way more expensive .


By the way Whats up Oak Harbor

I love my MKIII, but I also like the looks of the GT-R. I saw one in Jasper a week ago and it was drop dead gorgeous. I also happen to like MKIV's. Don't hate me because I'm beautiful...........oops, I've just always wanted to say that since I'm very close to having to wear a mask full time to hide the ugly.

Oh great here is another thread about the new skyline... lol

 

[mkIIIman089]

Because the only thing Toyota makes is a bunch of boring slush buckets. Nissan actually has something worth talking about... and to call it Skyline is incorrect, it's just "GTR".

 

[Poodles]

Just like when mazda decided to drop the Miata name on the MX-5... it's still a Miata and they put the name back on it.

So, who exactly is wrong here? I said many, because the last time I said most, I found there are plenty more like me, who LOVE the MKIII for what it is.

If I am not mistaken this is the "other cars" section. No matter how shitty the Skyline's tranny is the car is still an absolute work or art. I think it is gorgeous. I would be honored to drive one of those things. What do you want, 10 threads about the Prius, Corolla, Camry, other Toyota ecobox(sorry SupraCentral I had to steal your word). If Toyota would get off the Prius/Hybrid bandwagon then maybe there would be many threads about a hardcore Toyota sportscar(or the Lexus LF-A). Who knows maybe Toyota will put the 2UR-GSE in the SC. That would spark a lot of threads. As long as they got rid of that god awful SC430 body stle.

Damn, I wasn't aware that being a member of this site limited me to only liking the A70 Supra. So much for being a car enthusiast.

 

[shaeff]

I drive a mark three because I love it, not because it's in line behind a mark four. I like the lines of the MKIII better than the lines of the MKIV. (Though, if you remove the spoiler on the IV, it's a close call, but still the MKIII FTW)

If I wanted a MKIV, I'd have bought one instead of dumping nearly 20k into my MKIII.

 

[IJ.]

Can pretty well afford to buy what I want.... Not much on the market I'd prefer as I'm a tinkerer so just use the Mk3 as a big toy.

As for the new GTR, AWESOME car.

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

yeah the new gt-r is amazing. i would be ashamed if we didn't talk about it.

 

[irocznissan]

sux that the trannies are just goin to crap and not being warrantied..... oh wait i think he just started another GT-R thread by accident. all cars are great in their own little way. honda fit FTW!!!!!! :nono:

I personally don't give a rat's arse if it has a Nissan, Toyota or Honda badge on the front, an awesome car is an awesome car. I hope the real car enthusiasts on here would back me up on that sentiment.

We are worshiping cos the sub-forum is clearly marked as "Other cars (Non-Supra)"

I don't understand the bitching about us talking (well, I mostly read) about the GTR, you mise well make a thread about all the other cars and trucks that have been mentioned in here...

I drive a Nissan and I love it :biglaugh:

 

[mkIIIman089]

I really only drive the MK3 because of how easy it is to tweak and it's inexpensive price tag. As soon as I have the money I will buy something like an Elise. To by "loyal" to any one of these Japanese car makes is absurd.

Totally agree with this :bigthumb: what members and guess need to remember is that this section is for non Supra cars and it dosent help when people start slagging off other members types of cars.
Although i am a new member i can not see why talking about any type of other car on the correct section should be met with such negative comments & anger. :wtf:
