Also, Infiniti's have historically been more reliable than Nissan branded cars (perhaps because all Infiniti's except the Qx56 are built in Japan rather than the US). And both Infiniti and Lexus are going to be worldwide brands including Japan. So although they come from the same company, I suspect that quality control will be higher for their luxury brand rather than their non-luxury brand.
wait a minute so in Japan they sell the G35 with the infiniti badge and with the nissan ... ? differing in warrenty only ???????? that is crazy ????
also about the reliabilty i surely would expect my G35 to be more reliable than my friend's 350Z (considering i paid about 7K more than him) ... unfortunatelly that has not been the case so far ...

We all have diffrent tastes and some don't have any! I enjoy the clean look with
nothing on the rear deck. I don't care if the old fart behind me doesn't know what
kind of ride I have.
I've been driving Nissans so long my first one was called a Datsun. I still have one
of the emblems from my BRE Datsun 510. Anyone remember what that was?

OK I'm selling my G after it was referred to as Prettiest. DAMNIT!
Hey BLUE, do they refer muscle cars as pretty too? 
btw...accordingly one of my bros from Japan, Infiniti doesn't exist there or at least it's not known of.
I'm just kidding BLUE...no mean comments towards your way. You're still a hottie in your G.

also i was wondering other than all the badges and the steering wheel on the wrong side is there any other difference between our G35s and the Skyline in Japan?
