YO SHUT UP OLD MONEY those cars arent even relative and you could tell them apart from one another easily. where as the G35 and SKYLINE are exactly the same in HP and looks except the LHD and RHD. But if it doesnt tickle your fancy itsok RAFF WITH ME !

Totally pointless discussion, the G35 coupe is a Skyline 350GT with the steering wheel on the wrong side and a different badge, thats about it.

^ you can say that a 1000x and people here won't understand. People just want to be ignorant and not think of it as a Skyline when in all reality it is.

Because i have been to Japan and seen every car there. If i had a Acura TL i would re badge to honda Inspire. Or a Lexus back to Toyata windom. Did you know that they still have Honda Legends? That is Acura RL here in the states.

WTF are you talking about. WE ALL KNOW Acura = Honda and Infiniti = Nissan. This is old news.

All I said, was, you admitted to doing it for attention. No need to bring up the history lessons here.

BUT, there is actually a Lexus brand in Japan.

well, if that's the case we all want attention. You get attention when you put on an exhaust, rims, lowered,etc. So everyone on here want attention! Re badge is just another mod for the car.

350GT is its proper name seeing that it was completely built up in Japan where they call it a Nissan skyline 350GT (http://www.nissan.co.jp/EN/lineup.html) now its the 370GT, but besides the truth this car is not an infiniti they just figured they could make more money selling it as luxury vehicle. I think you can badge it whatever you'd like as long as its proper and not this...

GTR Mustang with headers and a rotary engine.

Is Infiniti actually manufactured in the US? or just assembled from parts made in Japan?

Actually it isn't, all the parts are made in Japan. But a fair amount of assembly goes on in North America. They don't come off the ship ready to roll...
