for 60K+, they better make that thing a little more exotic looking.

 

Yeah! and if its a Nissan, the tires better not feather either!

 

I hope its a infiniti
450 hp plus sick...
60,000-70,000
I have to save now...

 

I think in the end Nissan will release 2 vehicles: Infiniti GT-R and Nissan GT-R, the only difference being a price difference of $5000 and badging.

 

Hey, what's up Gee3Five!

 

hey Randy...how are ya!
Lets see a pic of your ride with that Texas license plate.

 

hope that goes under infiniti not NISSAN...
well, we all know that it wont look like current Gs. (unless they are so stupid to make a same looking model under same brand...=p)
a thing that bothers me the most is the price of GT-R,which it should be around 60k. (twice the Z cost)
1. price is too expensive to be under nissan.
2. like NSX under acura...infiniti needs something to compete with NSX...IMO

we will see...we will see...

 

I'm HOPING it will be a Nissan, because as mentioned earlier, it will probably mean a substantial price difference vs. being badged as an Infiniti... now I know everyone will give me the "Nissan service sucks, blah, blah, blah" - but when it comes to a car of this magnitude, I don't think it's really going to matter to me... as long as I can work myself into it, then I'm good to go...

And no one will know for sure what it looks like until the "final" concept is unveiled at this year's TAS...

 

i don't think infiniti "needs something to compete with the nsx" since the nsx sales aren't good. if anything, acura "needs" something that can compete with the g35 coupe since the acura cl failed miserably. i think it's safer to say that infiniti needed something to compete with the m3 since i'm sure potential g35 buyers usually consider the m3 as well. and for that reason, they NEED to put it under infiniti. with nissan, it will fail since not too many ppl would be willing to pay that much for "just a nissan". look at toyota and their experience with the supra...it got too expensive. it may have fared better if under the lexus name.

 

Good points. The NSX is way too overpriced. Sure good looking car but a 300hp V6 for that price is certainly ridiculous. Acura does of course have the TL which is a pretty lofty competitor to the G in my opinion.....As far as the argument over INFINITI or NISSAN, I'd say with the history of the GT-R it needs to stick with the Nissan name badge. This one is supposed to have the signature ATESSA system and the traditional tailights, might as well keep it under the Nissan badge.

 

The GTR is an April Fools created by Infiniti...hahaha they got you guys good.

 

You guys missed one thing:

"The decision is not made," said Carlos Tavares, Nissan's vice president for the product strategy and product planning division. But he added, "If we don't change the specific target customer" for the Skyline GT-R, "it will be a Nissan."

What will their "specific target customer" be?? Judging by that last statement, I find it awefully hard to believe that this GT-R will be a Nissan, costing more then ANY Infiniti sold ($60K, yeah right)!!! They may keep it as a Nissan, but if so, if will not be anywhere close to $60K. And if this is the case, I'm sure there will be some disappointment brought along with the car. It's a simple case of "you get what you pay for". Now if it's an Inifiniti, they may be able to get away with a $50K-$60K pricetag, which would bring a better car as well.

Brand name plays a HUGE part of US marketing these days. That means a lot considering that probably less then 1% of US car consumers are even familiar with the GT-R. No one who is not familiar with the GT-R is going to pay $60K for a Nissan, NO ONE!!! If this car does become a Nissan at that price, don't expect it to be around long. Too many middle age guys will be heading over to the BMW dealership, for an M3. Cheaper price for a car they (and the friends/co-workers) have heard of, with a nameplate that they feel will impress. Just common sense. Just like that stupid SCC published picture of the G35 supposed to be the next Skyline (when in fact it was actually just a Lotus' test mule car), all the magazines want to be the first to put out any "new" GT-R news. You know it's bad when the Auto. Industry media have gotten as bad as the editors at Teen Magazine!!

 

I talked to an Infiniti/Nissan dealer today and the guy told me that the new GT-R will definately be a Nissan Skyline.

I guess sooner or later we will find out.

 

My guess its going to be a Nissan with a price tag of 50000, ofcourse thats just my guess

 

Why not ***** the car between the two labels?

Nissan Skyline GTR (ugly no flashy parts, racecar)

INFINITI GTR (5-10k more for a slight increase in power, better leather ext)
