Yeah, great to look at and get all turned on, but ultimately unsatisfying.
LOL
That is pretty much what I took away from the trailers I have seen for the film. Looks like a lot of eye candy and fluff, but little or no substance to carry it.
I'll be skipping this one.

This Skyline would be loads more entertaining...

It's a Skyline. A Nissan Skyline GT-R. It *IS* a transformer, of a sort.
Y'all probably thought the Nissan Z was the "hot" car they made. The Skyline was its big brother. 276 (advertised) horsepower (actually closer to 475 in many cases), AWD, AWS, twin turbos on in inline 3.0-liter 6-cylinder.

I've seen some of the drifters here drive those at the local raceway park.

Too bad. I was hoping it'd be one of those nice, under-the-radar surprises.
After their first movie, I should have known better.

Yup - they're rare as hen's teeth in the U.S., because they were never "officially" imported. There was a company in Nevada that finally went to the trouble of federalizing them (they had to nurse them through all the EPA & DOT tests, smog tests, fuel mileage tests, and the full battery of crash tests) and importing a few, but the cost went from around $30k (Japan price) to over $90k (U.S. price). And then Nissan decided that the nest-generation model would come to the U.S., now known simply as the Nissan GT-R, and ditching the vaunted Skyline moniker.
I believe it was a company called "Motorex" that imported them back in the day, but they got shut down on some technical loophole a few years ago, from what I recall. I've only ever seen ONE Skyline in the U.S., and it wasn't even at a car show or an event, but just in traffic. I was at a stoplight and realized that the car directly ahead of me was an electric-blue R34 Skyline. They look smaller in person. And better.
Still one of my favorite cars in the world. And still the possessor of one of the fastest production car lap times at the Nurburgring Nordschleife. Not shabby for a car more than a dozen years old...
