2008 Infiniti GT-R

Target Release Date:
2007

It may end up wearing an Infiniti badge, but this next generation Skyline should have all the attitude of its Nissan cousins.

After years of rumors and intense lobbying by Nissan enthusiasts in the U.S., Nissan chief Carlos Ghosn announced that his company plans to release a fully redesigned version of the legendary Skyline GT-R by 2007. The new version will take its cues from the GT-R concept car that has made the rounds at various auto shows over the past several years, and unlike its predecessor the GT-R will make its way to the U.S. With the 350Z already occupying a steady spot in Nissan's lineup, look for the GT-R to come Stateside wearing an Infiniti badge. A prototype caught testing on Germany's grueling Nurburgring test track made the rounds wearing a modified G35 shell, but obvious signs of modifications indicate it was no ordinary Infiniti. The car is expected to debut at the Tokyo Motor Show in the fall of 2007 and go on sale later that year.

2007 Infiniti CX35

Infiniti is planning a crossover smaller and more affordable than its current FX35.

Infiniti will begin building a series of entry-level crossovers starting in 2007, priced and positioned below the FX35 and FX45 in its lineup. Like the FX35 and FX45, the Infiniti CX25 and CX35 will be built on Nissan's FM, front-midengine platform. Designed to compete with the likes of BMW's X3 and Volkswagen's upcoming small SUV, the CX is expected to fall into the $30-$35K price category. The base CX25 models will use 2.5-liter, inline four-cylinder engines while the CX35 will get Nissan's 3.5-liter V6. There might be a supercharged four-cylinder available on the CX series as well.

guess your right its not luxurious enough to be called an INFINITI its way to sporty looking imo ...

 

From what I have heard, it still hasn't been determined if it will be an Infiniti or a Nissan. An 80k plus Nissan just doesn't sound right.

 

GT-R will be badged as Nissan as final decision.
I actually prefer the Infiniti badge but hey...
