WOOT!! Awesome, I'm very happy it's going to be a Nissan, as it should be. It wouldn't make sense to cal it an Infiniti since everyone who knows anything about the GT-R knows it's a Nissan...plus it sounds way cooler as Nissan (Skyline?) GT-R

So is it going to just be called GT-R or Skyline GT-R? I've always liked the Skyline name myself.
