The Skyline has always been a sedan and recently, a cross over. Up until the late 80s it was sold as such in New Zealand and Japan before it was discontinued in those regions - our family car for a while was a 1988 Skyline TI. It kept on going in Japan though, with the more recent Skyline models being known as the Infiniti G35/37 in the States. Since New Zealand imports a lot of used Japanese vehicles, I had a four door 2012 Skyline GT (AWD variant) until I replaced it with a Model 3.
I think when those in the US hear “Skyline” they think of the GTR, which was always the performance variant of the Skyline range.
