What's hard to understand is that you're assigning some magical quality to names that somehow change what a car IS. A V35 Coupe is a V35 Coupe. Period. A Z33 is a Z33. It's more poser to assign some kind of mystical significance to names like Skyline/Fairlady and the Honda/Acura fight. Call it whatever you want to call it, it's not "Poser" in the way tony meant it when he asked the question. Poser is the Honda Civic with a GT-R badge on it's front grill I saw yesterday. Poser is the V6 Mustang with "GT" badges stuck on it. If the only difference between your Ford Taurus and a Mercury Sable was the badging, I would certainly feel that it's appropriate for you to change it if you wished. It's Ironic that we're hung up on this for cars that AREN'T different USDM/JDM, but cars like the Evo that we've gotten Gimpy versions of we're OK with still calling an Evo, even if some of the biggest qualities of the JDM Evo are gone. (Same with 240sx/Silvia fight, though a 240sx with a SR20DET/CA18DET and appropriate front end should have no insult thrown at it for being rebadged to Silvia/180sx)Originally Posted by toxxxic
no. it's a european g35 ... lol i don't see whats so hard to understand about my point of view.
if you want to import a rhd skyline from japan, then feel free to call it a skyline & leave it badged as a skyline...
but if you go down to your local infinity dealership and buy a g35, then low & behold it is a G35if you didnt import a skyline from japan, it aint a skyline!
what does your car's title say? it says G35. not skyline.
just like if you buy a lexus sc400 & put toyota soarer badges on it, it's still a lexus sc400!
who gives a fack? srsly.
