Nissan GT-R Wagon spotted in Nagoya?!
Click above for a gallery of the Nissan GT-R "wagon"
Let's get this over with right now: This isn't really a Nissan GT-R wagon. That said, it is a decidedly artful conversion of the Japanese automaker's M35 series Stagea wagon, a JDM load-lugger it produced from 2001 to 2007. Available in both rear- and all-wheel drive with a variety of V6 powerplants, the now-dead Stagea has been called the "GT-R Wagon" by many enthusiasts.
Spotted at Nagoya Auto Trend this weekend, this particular Stagea looks to be a super-clean conversion, with a well-integrated R35 GT-R front-end that's been carried through along the bodysides, with factory-like rocker panel indents and modestly rear quarter panels to keep the theme.
While we don't have information about what lurks underneath, the folks at GTRBlog speculate that the wagon could have something interesting like a stroked VQ-series V6 with a twin-turbo kit. Given the apparent high level of finish on the outside, we would hope for nothing less. Check out the galleries below for more shots of both the GT-R and Stagea wagons... and if you find any additional information on this particular car, drop us a tip!

Nice to see a retard take two pictures from the front but none from the back.
As if we didn't know what the front looked like.

Thanks Franz
that is a very tight looking wagon!
very nice rear. It reminds me of the Volvo Wagons of the late nineties but better.
There is so much you could do stylisticaly with a wagon in the back, but this looks sharp.

The front end looks better than the original, but then again, it doesn't take much to look better than that.

But a single one tries too hard to be funny to promote his site.
