After the merger, the Skyline and its larger counterpart, the Nissan Gloria, were sold in Japan at dealership sales channels called Nissan Prince Shop.The Skyline was largely designed and engineered by Shinichiro Sakurai from inception, and he remained a chief influence of the car until his death in 2011.Skylines are available in either coupé, or sedan body styles, plus station wagon, crossover, convertible and pick up/delivery van body styles. The later models are most commonly known by their trademark round brake and tail lights (as of 1972). While not distributed in the United States until its importation as the Infiniti G, the Skyline's prominence in video games, movies and magazines resulted in many such cars being imported there from 1999 to late 2005 via Motorex. Majority of Skyline models are rear-wheel drive, with four-wheel drive being available since the eighth-generation's debut.The 11th-generation Skyline (V35) was another major turning point for the nameplate, as it dropped some of the previous generation Skyline's trademark characteristics such as the straight-6 engine (replaced with a V6) and turbocharging, and eventually separated the GT-R into its own line. Nissan decided to retain the Skyline for the luxury-sport market, while its platform-mate, the 350Z, revived the Z line of pure sports cars. The V35 was the first Skyline made for export to North America, being sold under Nissan's luxury marque Infiniti as the G35. The Skyline (V36/J50) is sold in Europe, North America, South Korea, Taiwan, and the Middle East as the Infiniti G37.On April 11, 2010 a Guinness book of records event took part with 225 Skylines taking part in a parade lap at the ISTS at Silverstone UK this produced two World records the first being the most recorded Nissan Skylines at one meet at one time and another being the Most Nissan Skylines on a track at the same time.. }
