Nissan Skyline History
The first time Nissan was used as the Skyline was the third generation of this car (1968-72); previously it was the Prince Skyline until these two companies merged. The fourth generation (1972-77) and fifth generation (1977-81) were marketed as the Datsun K-series in most export markets.
The sixth generation (1981-95) was marketed as the Nissan Skyline and gave this car a new look and the seventh generation (1985-87) was an evolution of this.
The eighth ninth and tenth generation R32, 33 and 34 (1993-2002) were all pretty similar and were real sports compact cars.
The eleventh generation (2001-07) moved to the compact executive class and was the first Skyline to be made for export to the US. The twelfth generation (2006-present) is the current version on the market.
