The whole Acura, Infiniti, Lexus idea is just a very smart marketing move by Honda, Nissan, Toyota to sell existing (most of them, anyway) models in the U.S. for a slightly higher profit margin. For the consumers, they're getting their dollars worth in better service, longer warranties, and the all-so-important "status symbol".
At least this is better than the Lincoln buyer who looks down on Ford owners, huh? ^-^

I just find it curious that this is the only make and model car that I have seen where owners will badge the car in a way that can be interpreted as going "down-market" (Infiniti -> Nissan). I work in advertising and I have never seen this before. This was not intended as flame-bait or insulting - just wanted to understand more.

Topher...
No offense taken. I think perhaps I worded my own response in the wrong tone.
Anyways, yeah...whatever TwiBlueG said (I was just goin for the Japanese spec look/theme)
I know what you're talking about though, how it can be interpreted as going down-market. But in a weird way, I think thats actually part of the point. Well, not really going down-market, but more like back to "the roots"...LOL
Enjoy the Ride! ^-^

I don't plan to rebadge, but I'm guessing that the statement being made by rebadging from Infiniti to Nissan is "I'm not driving this car because it's a status symbol, I'm driving it because it kicks a**!"
By the way, what is "JDM?" Japan Domestic Market?

Can someone please tell me where I can get the Skyline emblem for my 05 Sedan? This was my initial question and it has yet to be answered. I have checked almost all the vendor sites and none have it...
