NIssan Fuga too which is like a bigger Skyline
There are also a bunch of weird Toyotas (Brevis, Progres etc)

I had a choice of the 250gt skyline and 350rx Stagea. Went with the Stagea, around the same $, more power, more room.

Depending on spec there may not be a lot of weight difference between a four door Skyline and a 350z anyway (the curb weight ranges actually overlapped)

I think the 1st one is dreaming a bit, maybe if it was a turbo. If I had the choose I would go the Nissan for sure but neither of them rock my boat.

A 350z is 3.5l, 370z is 3.7l. I'd say that the 3.5 350z is already a little more eco than the 3.5 skyline and stagea as the 350z likely weighs less and uses the same motor.

What do you like about them? Interested. Looks smaller than mark X and see it is straight 6 rather than v6.

You also have to factor in the cost of the obligatory manual transmission conversion.

They're based on the first gen Altezza so have the old I6 not the newer V6 like the Mark X (which is a much newer design)

Damn nice cars them and a super strong power train too, with heaps of potential.

The 2L and 2.5L is only a 4 speed which is not great. The 3L has a 5 speed.

They actually aren't smaller in any dimension that counts. -Boot size,cabin size etc. I actually had one as a drive car for ages and loved it. They are just such a solid car on the road.--and lots of lexus features inside.

I'd vote with Kazbanz on the Brevis- I've had two this past year, one as a driver- brilliant and utterly understated cars- my last one (a 3--litre) had black leather seats, both heated with full power, tilt/tele steering column, cruise, killer audio, ABS, VSC, side air-bags, dual-zone air. and with the 3-litre 2JZ-FSE up front, super-smooth power delivery matched to a 5-speed auto. My Euro-centric neighbour took it for a drive during his quest for a 3-series, was so impressed (and he's not easily impressed!) he prised it out of my hands. I'd buy it back in a heartbeat- if he'd sell it to me!
