Do you guys get annoyed when ignorant people call your car a Nissan in a tuxedo?

I can tell who the real nissan euthasists are.. I mean i dont mind it all..in fact I got the g because its a nissan...my previously cars were nissans...
I had a mits eclipse (just to build my credit on monthly payments) and I hated that thing (it was the second to last gen model).... buttttt it did have a sport like feeling and room in it haha...that car was indeed a good car for been a DD
All in all i think those who get offended by people callin it a nissan is someone whos trying to be something they not...IT IS A NISSAN... infiniti is just a cover up to jack the price up. Like that one other memeber posted.... its a smart way of a scheme by the japanese with USA... haha your just suckers that believe it lol

which means the new upo coming M series is gonna have to way more then this 335i in handling and we kno the powers coming... other wise thatd be bad on the bmw marketing(specially since the new ones beats the not so old version of the M)

Now, if someone told you your car was a rebadged Altima, that's a good time to laugh at their face for being so completely ignorant and not knowing anything about cars.
The end...
PS. Im a college student, and I have never heard anyone tell me such a thing. Maybe you are hanging out with an immature crowd.

You pay a little more in the 335i, and get a little more.

Sure, a badge is just a badge. But try throwing in rebadged Sentra into the Infiniti line-up. Let's see how it does
Any Infiniti can have the Nissan badge and do fine (as seen in many other countries), although I don't think its appropriate. But the opposite is not true. You cannot just rebadge any Nissan to an Infiniti. Standards for luxury cars are set pretty high these days.

I have this thing with a good friend of mine. I call his Benz a Chrysler, and he calls my G a Nissan. Either way, I'm not offended, and he is (as he should be). So I'm not too worried about the whole Nissan thing.

It only matters if you're ashamed to drive a Nissan. Fact is the G35 is a stretched 350z which is what I correctly tell people and Nissan could get the same price for this car if they brought it in as a Skyline. In general people buy this car for the performance, appearance, or value, not for the badge. The car speaks for itself.
Now what GM did with the "Cadillac" Cimmaron, that's rebadging injustice.
