looks like it, I thought it was but from reading it it says its a Nissan

A man in a pickup truck killed two drivers and injured another in four rush-hour shootings


1 -

The first person killed was 20-year-old Jorge Lopez. He was sitting at a traffic light in Garland, Texas, at 5:40 p.m. when a man in a pickup pulled alongside his Nissan and fired shots into the car,


2 -

A few minutes later and two miles away on the LBJ Freeway, a gunman fired at two tractor-trailers. One driver escaped injuries, but the other, 42-year-old William Scott Miller of Frankfort, Kentucky, was shot to death behind the wheel of a United Van Lines truck


3 -

The fourth attack came a mile west on LBJ Freeway when gunfire shattered the windshield of another tractor-trailer. Bullets missed the driver, but flying glass caused minor cuts


they realy need to change the gun laws over their... Hope they catch him before he kills more innocent people

it does look like a 2, the rear bumper lines seem to look the same, looks like it has pop up lights and the rear lights look the same.. Maybe the news people got the car make wrong on the site??

if it is a 2 it looks like it has a single exit exhaust comming out the left hand side

It's clearly not an MR2 and it is a Nissan Skyline.

Save the image to your computer and zoom in. There are circular lights, but they are not in the same style as the MR2. Also the rear of the car where the engine cover should be appears to be the rear glass going up to the roof.

p.s sorry for being pedantic 8)

ahh you might be right there but you have to admit it looks a little 2ish from that small pic, if it didnt say Nissan on the story I would have thought it was definatly a 2.

as said If we were on CSI we could have used some software and zoomed right in on the car making it look as clear as a HD movie :mrgreen:

Update on the story -

Former policeman is named suspect in Dallas shootings

lol! clearly!

I love Eddie Izzard's take on guns: 'The National Rifle Association of America says that guns don't kill people - people kill people... I think the gun helps though..'

It wasnt the skyline driver that murdered people, the Skyline driver was the one he randomly killed :( . I bet he was a member of a Skyline Forum over in the US :(
