    This just hit me when I saw these latest GT-R photos.

    Anybody else see a strong resemblance in the side window area? Looks like the GT-R design isn't so original after all.

    in the concept world thats prettys close. But either way the new GT-R pisses me off. Can anyone say "Larger 350" I hate the body platform they used, looks like crap.

    It looks pretty close to Mattel's 'Symbolic" of 2005 First Edition Hot Wheels

    I think the new one should look almost the same as the R34 but with a little sharper lines. The new one just looks like another fat infiniti.

    agreed...and wheres the bulging boxy wheel fenders resembling what the R34 had...cuz now from the side, it just looks less aggressive and fat..but ill wait to see what the aftermarket world has to say before i just to any conclusions..
