    Found this on another forum.

    "Around 5:30 Monday night, Keith (evo4g63) and I were heading down Cerrillos Road when we spotted the silver prototype Nissan Skyline, along with 2 black Armadas turning into an Amigo Mart on the opposite side of the road. Being that this was a rare sighting, we quickly flipped a "U" and pulled into the station. As we pulled in, the car surrounded by roughly 12 Asian guys who were logging information. Hoping that they spoke English, we decided to get down to talk with them about the car. I asked one of the guys what he thought of the car, and you guessed it, he had no idea what I was saying. However, he did manage to whisper a question into my ear, "you know GTR", in which I replied, "heck yes". As he asked me that, I noticed a large bulge on the right hand side of the covered interior. To my pleasant surprise it was a Japanese version Skyline equipped with factory turbos. We spoke with the reps from Nissan Japan a bit longer, and after a good 10-15 minutes of leg humping, let them get back on the road. The car has Michigan plates, and is being tested on US roads, so make sure to keep an eye out for it! "

        No I'd be willing to bet that was ALL over Nissan boards...

        At first I did it for fun, then I realized I made the investment and had to do it!

                    ^All new vehicles get tested on the roads. They need to see how they handle certian situations, sitting in traffic, snow/ice.....

                    There are alot of preproduction model cars that do winter testing in northern MN. Last winter I saw a group of 5+ audi completely covered in platic... driving around together.

                        Well, companies usually test their cars in the extremes of all the weather they will see, hence why they test in Northern MN/Mojave Desert/etc.
