That sounds like what the old-timer rednecks around here would call it. lol

I'm pretty sure the company itself would use the correct pronunciation in their own TV commercials. ;)

And they say "Knee-sahn" which is how I've always heard/called it. Not "sawn" but "sahn", rhymes with "John."

in japan they said knee sawn, or son, w/e you wanna call it and everything else was exactly the way they said it except for one thing...

I have no idea. This was like 12 years ago or so. I got it for $1000. I got the Bluebird for $500 and the Town Ace for $700. People would rotate out and sell their cars for whatever they could get.

It was pretty cool, and fast. So was the Bluebird. The van's rear seats folded out into a bed.

Heh, GI"s still do the same in Germany. When I moved my family over to Germany, I bought a 1969 or 1970 Mustang II hatchback, baby blue, exactly like my older cousin's who lived with us while I was growing up. Bought if for $400 or $500, sold it for $100 to another GI. One of the old-timers on the post who had been stationed there previously in the 70's knew the original owner, the same car had been passed down from GI to GI for over 20 years. )

I read somewhere they get 80-85 mpg. Too bad they're illegal. If you want to import, you have to mod it and then it only gets 40 mpg.

Price? I dont know but pretty expensive, the new Supra is coming out at a predicted $100,000 so i am sure this will be real high too....

EatChex89

28-07-2006 21:20:30

the thing is estimated at $60,000/$50,000

it'll be out by 2008 and debuted next year at a car show according to nissan[=http//www.nissanusa.com/09gt-r/?Site=Google&Creative=Unknown&Area=nissan_skyline&CMP=KNC-Google]according to nissan

those pictures are only of a prototype..

the reason it was illegal is primarily because it didn't pass usa smog tests.

some company named MOTOREX mods the cars so that they are legal, it's the only company that'll do it.

Kidd

28-07-2006 21:49:37

motorex is kinda introuble and wont legalize your skyline that you import you must buy it overpriced from them now.

the new supra will embarass the old mkiv supra because it will be underpowered and wont have twin turbos its basically gonna run a 4.5 liter lexus engine. what a shame.
