You guys are neglecting one simple fact...in order to have a performance or racing series for infiniti, they need to have a series of performance/racing cars. Realistically speaking, as of now, infiniti only has the g35 coupe...other than that there is no real performance/racing type of car from infiniti. Perhaps if they come out with more cars that are at that level, they will actually make a new badge for them as cadillac recently has done with its V-series.
Nonetheless....i really hope it happens. Infiniti definitely doesn't get the credit it rightfully deserves.

The rest of the worlds G35 as you know is a skyline 350gt, Nissan has always started their skyline ranges ( 32, 33, 34 ) with a gt & a gts range which was then followed by a gt R model in each case, so nothing has changed with bringing out the new GTR. Tell me does the new gt R look more like the R34 or more like the 350 gt.
Heres the answer 6 mins 15 seconds into this clip and look whats running with the new gtr so dont tell me the G35 over there and the new gtr are not linked.

Don't mean to get off topic but, did you notice that the new GTR is a 3.8 liter (2min 40sec into vid.) I knew there was speculation, but that's proof in my book now.
Perhaps Infiniti will have a high performance series once they go global, which is soon, btw.

But i don't think there will be a high performance G35 because the high performance version of the G35 is the new GT-R......

Um, but we are in America... Oh wait, your in the UK
Infiniti has announced their plans on going global...so Nissan is out of the question.
Infiniti has already been officiallly introduced to China this week... and will quickly be going everywhere.
Dont believe me? www.Nissannews.com
And no
------------------------
They are not linked... period. The G35 here is the Skyline 350GT elsewhere. The Skyline GTR is the Skyline GTR (also) elsewhere. (The new GTR, although it is a Skyline GTR, is only called the GTR by the way)
