Default RE: Ford Going Private?

the skyline spent its first 11 years as the Prince Skyline.

in 1966 the Japanese gov't decided that the small companies like prince, toyota, nissan, daihastu, etc...would stand a better chance of making it in the world market, so small companies merged with larger companies...in this case, prince merged with nissan. however, prince is still responsible for building the skylines. that is supposedly one of the reasons that it has not been offered here in its better forms (R34 generation), because nissan wants to basically completely absorb prince, and take full credit for the skyline, but prince has refused, so to spite prince, they wouldnt send it here...
