Just how worthy is it of the Skyline name and the Nismo badge?

40 years young
The Mercedes W201 is now four decades old. And, if you're actually old enough to remember (count us out for that one), it was called the 'Baby Benz' at its launch. However much that title wants for some imagination, it is
This is no TDI
Reports of the sports sedan's death have, sadly, not been greatly exaggerated, which means few will take notice of this outlier. Volkswagen has revealed the Jetta GLI Performance concept, and it's rather appealing.Because it's not another crossover
