Anyone know anything about these? Do they exist and are they any good?

Due to the impending arrival of baby JB the missus wants a practical car for herself so thought one of these might fit the bill. Can you get them in left hand drive?

I take it that means no then :(

They do exist.

Unsure about LHD, though?

www.gtr.co.uk

Best place to ask :)

Hi JB,
No LHD, I fear...
I used to look for a skyline for a while, and never found any reference to a LHD one... So, I went for a 200 :D

Cheers

I tested an R33 GTS which had 4 doors. Didnt quite have the looks of a GTR, but was still very very quick. Faster than the 200. I just couldn't afford the insurance.

Wasnt LHD though. Why do you want LHD?

Bugger :mad: :(

So what fast 4 door (non scrabbly, non Merc/BMW) cars have you got over there then Fabien? All I can find on the net are bloody Renaults & stuff :rolleyes:

Tant qu'il y aura Renault il y aura toujours du boulot is the expression, I believe :D

Hi JB,

Are you looking for an used one, or new one?
In any of this cases anyway, you'll find the japanese cars to have the best quality/price.
Honda accord (152HP)
Scooby?
Nissan Maxima... and so on

As far as I am concerned with the French makes:
Renault Safrane...Peugeot 406...Citröen C5...
But you won't find much 'fun' power in those...
The C5 V6 exclusive is 210HP, but...crap power, of course...

If you can, have a look at http://www.123auto.fr , you may find something.

Cheers
