infiniti high performance line?

So I just a read an article about the Lexus F-line http://www.leftlanenews.com/2006/12/...o-rival-amg-m/.
So BMW has the M
Audi has the S
Mercedes has AMG
Cadillac has the V
Lexus will have the F
Infiniti will have _______?

I think its time we have a performance series!

Incorrect. The GT-R is a single model, not a line. Nissan/Infiniti don't have anything comparable.

lexus call it the F line? um.. i dont know, but doesnt sound all that great.. i mean, BMW M & Merc AMG sounds so sexy and obviously has the history. nontheless, Lexus F-line or whatever they call it will be have some beasts!!
IS500 or IS-F with 400+ hp, now THAT sounds sexy. however, lexus need to come out with a manual trans.. when they do, it may be time to upgrade!

but nismo is for Nissan. what about Infiniti? Toyota has TRD as its high performance dep.
GT-R is just a model..
also, when i was reading through leftlane news, couple things intrigued me (sorry a lil off topic).

1. 07 Z gets the new engine (same as the 07 G35 sedan). according to the news, by 09 they will have a redesigned Z with "considerably" more performance than today's model. i wonder how that will turn out and if the 08G35 will get that "considerably" more power/performance since that will be the all new redsigned model. however, i would think the 08 prob will just get the same engine as the 07 sedan with 306hp.
2. they have a honda coupe concept, looks kinda interesting and should give the "new" altima coupe a run for its money!! of course, not the class i'll be considering but still kinda interesting to look at!

they should start a new line, all cars 50K and up.

At least 350 HP, suv or car.

Something related to the history on infiniti.

I dont get why so many people here are claiming GT-R...

It will carry a Nissan badge after all, so it isnt like its representing an Infiniti.

They should come out with an 'R' line

G35R
M45R

I think that sounds good

It will be interesting to see if Nissan's decision to badge the GTR as a Nissan is a mistake. To a large percentage of car buyers the badge is almost as important as the car. The Porsche brand for example carries at least a $10K premium. I wonder how many people will be willing to pay $80K for ths GTR with the Nissan badge. The $80K price comes from the January issue of C&D.
