My guess would be the $50K-$60K range if not higher. I wonder if it will be under Infiniti or an actual Nissan brand (which would effect the price point).

Thought it was already confirmed to be under Nissan.

Prevailing rumors have the car taking on a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V-6, itself derived from the engine in the 350Z. Power bogeys put the mill in the range of 450 horsepower and 370 pound-feet of twist. In true Skyline fashion, the car will be all-wheel-drive, with a further evolution of the GT-R?s electronic ATTESA ET-S torque-sensing system, tied into a four-wheel steering system.

:heart:

It's really a double edged sword.

One on hand, fans want to stick with traditional and keep it under the Nissan name.
On the other hand, Nissan has never sold a $50k+ car and I'm not sure they can.
I mean, Chevy has the Corvette, but the Skyline/GT-R name doesn't exactly have the same heritage as the Corvette does here in the US.

Infiniti also wants/needs a halo car.
