For those who Rebadge

Saw this pic while looking for my V35 on the Japanese auctions.
Seems you are not the only guys who rebadge.
Either that or this is a RHD Infiniti

I don't get that How is the G35 better than the 350GT, when they are the same car. So when Nissan changed a couple of plastic name pieces, it automatically makes the Infiniti a better car? I'll never get why people don't understand that they're the same car, but you're right..."to each his own".

Anyhoo...Nice find AussieV35. I've always wondered what that would look like.

They are the same, Infinti is just the luxury branch of nissan, making it more prestiges, so i guess all people who buy their Lexus should make their 50,000 thousand cars toyotas, and people with Acuras, Should make all their cars Honda. Wow you guys are brilliant

Those are actually different cars though (Lexus -> Toyota; Acura -> Honda), not the same car. Our car is identical, with the exception, if I recally correctly, that the 350gt has more options avaliable. There is no Acura that is identical to the Civic. The G35 is identical to the 350gt, that is the difference.

well that obviously yea, my point was prestige of name and car, but dont forget Acura NSX, is Honda NSX, Acura RSX, is Honda Integra, they do have the same cars, rebadged it into a nissan, just puts down the level of make

Unhappy

hey guys, the only reason the jdm folks had to add the lux lines is that they did not believe we would pay 50k or more for a toyota, honda, Nissan. I think that this would still apply as it did 15 years ago. Sad but true.

There are certain gars that are nearly identical within the same company. For example the Infiniti I30 and Nissan Maxima, and the Toyota Camary and Lexus ES300, and I believe the Honda Accord is very similar to the Acura TL. But when you equip the lower priced car comparably to the name brand, the price difference isn't that great. A top of the line fully equipped Camry is near $30K which isn't that far off from a ES300.

Actually there is an Acura that looks like a Civic. I saw one in Raleigh with Ontario plates (I forget the model name though)

I can easily understand why they changed the logo from Nissan to Infiniti- the Mt Fuji logo simply looks better than the hamburger logo!
