If so, sadly, more likely to be a crossover SUV monstrosity (as Mitsubishi did with the Eclipse Cross).

And I guess in their defense, they made the Skyline have an identity crisis during its life. Didn't it start as a luxury sedan with Prince Motors? Then eventually became a coupe and sedan racer, then becoming Godzilla and econoboxes at the same time? And now has gone back to being a luxury sedan and I guess luxury crossover?

So... no more hints about when the GR 86 will be officially revealed? Surely they have to reveal it this year, if it will be on sale by 2022?

At this point I feel like there isn't that much left to reveal. It's almost guaranteed to look better than the BRZ, so maybe they don't feel a lot of urgency to get it out there.
