The journalist of the article incorrectly labeled the car a "Skyline". Probably because previous GTRs have all been based on the Skyline model. This latest version was created from scratch to be it's own model and called "GT-R" only. Carlos Ghosn, CEO of Nissan announced that it will carry the Nissan badge throughout the world including the USA where many thought it would be an Infiniti due to the speculated hefty price tag.

I use to own a Nissan myself from 1988-1991. I wouldn't want to bring my > $60K USD car to a Nissan dealership for service...still, I'd love to have one of these.

Nissan makes great rides but their dealer's service is the worst.

Exactly my point.
For me, the experience isn't over when I buy a car from a dealer and drive it home.
