I suppose since Nissan has named G35 as Skyline, they cant use the Skyline name again on this one. Wonder whats in the mind of Nissan's marketing team. Seems to me they've had it wrong here, dont they?
I think that they want to set this model further from the Skyline range.
Kinda like the new corvette which isnt a Chevrolet. Just Corvette.
I can understand that they wanted to do this in Japan as a skyline is just an ordinary car. They don't want the GTR to be asociated with 4 door sedans.
This is just waht I think, but in Japan it isn't the skyline name that is famous because of the fleet of regular low power family sedans. It's the GTR name.
But for the rest of the world the Skyline name is legendary, so don't really know why they don't call it a Skyline everywhere else.
I was almost sure that it would be an infiniti in the states. But it will remain under the Nissan badge. I guess that it's because Nissan has motorsport history and Infiniti not.
