Nissan’s Stagea AXIS

[raleighredG]

Found this in Autoweek: ">>> Nissan’s Stagea AXIS is essentially a wagon version of the Infiniti G35 sedan built on the same front-midship chassis as the G35 and 350Z. Powered by a 3.5-liter, 280-hp V6, our Autech-tuned test car ($35,150) featured a bespoke suspension setup, aggressive body kit, 18-inch aluminum wheels and a hand-stitched leather interior. Autech has done an excellent job of turning the Stagea’s somewhat soft ride, and image, into a car that tackles the most demanding corners with incredible composure, keeping body roll in check and using all the grip the Dunlop tires have to offer. The smooth, torquey V6 is a perfect match for the rest of the package, and the five-speed transmission does a good job of letting you push the car’s dynamics to the limit." This is only available in Japan. Pretty ugly if you ask me. Thought you guys might be interested.

They've been making the Stagea and Japan for several years now. Good find, though. I hate to say it, but the front end is not unlike a new Chevy...
