What do you Skyline drivers think of the Golf R32?

I think that it's a mockery. Why hasn't someone at Nissan filed a suite or something against it..?

Because in Skyline terms, "R32" is only a chassis designation. It's highly doubtful that Nissan trademarked such a trivial part of the car.

If the Golf was called "Skyline," then VW would probably have a problem. Besides, using the R32 name just makes the Golf look even weaker compared to the Skylines.;)

that's the same idea as ford suing VW for using the name "fox" for one of their cars, b/c the mustang chassis was called the fox chassis...


unless it's a twin turbo'd HPA r32...
those push 500+hp, 202mph top speed... and some sick 0-60 and 1/4 times...

there's a couple vids and write up on motortrend

Probablly(sp) the same way they feel about the Ultima having "GTR" in its name.......who cares
Although the Nissan would have a hell of a time trying to beat up on it at open road course events...but ANYWAYS :)

it's not named after it.
it's an R model. it's got a 3.2 liter motor in it.
no other tie in.
why don't you guys let stupid threads die?
