Same reason why Acura changed the name of the Integra to RSX, to copy every other luxury brand.
BMW 3 series, Mercedes C-class, Lexus IS, Infiniti G, etc.

It has a 3.5 liter engine, just like the 350z. Similarly, the G37 is named so because it has a 3.7 liter...Originally Posted by risingson

Numbers in the name of the car usually equal the displacement of the motor. G35-3.5 liter, Cl55-5.5 liter, LS460-4.6 liter.Originally Posted by aHero4Eternity

Yes its very common to name a car after its displacement in this country....however if you compare the names of the cars in Japan you will usually come up on a normal name....
Like Silvia for 240sx....FairladyZ for a 350z.... Skyline for G35 even thought they do put a 350gt emblem on there.....
