Sorry you are wrong. We are talking about the G35/Skyline 350. It was never sold in Europe. Any there were gray cars imported.

Your links are for theNEW G37 and they only debuted this fall, as in 2 months ago.

Sales forecasts are very very low, 8,000-12,000 cars in Europe a year. With the global economy in the crappy, no image and average reviews recently in the Euro mags, as well as offering no diesels or hybrids, good luck.Their management is clueless.

Ok, sorry. Didn't realize that we were ONLY referring to the exact generation in the picture. Considering the fact that other people were referencing OTHER generations, It's hard to keep track of what to argue with. Regardless the idea is the same. In England there are RHD V36 Skylines being sold as Infiniti G37 Coupes. The "Your car has to be RHD to be badged as a Skyline" thing kinda falls flat there, doesn't it? (Edit: Which you may/may not have been arguing for/against. I've long forgotten where anyone else was going with this, the point was that there are at the time we're arguing this, Skylines that are RHD that are badged as Infiniti G-series. Because of this, the argument of "Your Infiniti G-series must be RHD to be a Skyline" doesn't really add up. The whole point is that Infiniti was created by Nissan to work in the American market where people see Japanese car companies as just "Econobox" companies. Hyundai is currently undergoing the same problems the Japanese luxury cars first had ages ago, and has talked about going through with the same solution and splitting cars like the Genesis Sedan off into a seperate brand the same way that the Tiburon is sold in most countries as a Tuscani Elisa.)

Second: They seem to be selling in England. Dunno about the rest of europe.

^ An entire brand being brought to a new a continenet is a bit different than just someone rebadging a car.

For one thing, there are going to be little differences on what is mandatory for a car to be allowed sale in its designated region. I think more and more cars are built with a global mind frame so they could be sold where ever but im sure even the Nissan 350 and Infiniti G35 had different things amongst themselves.

Is that to say both cars are the same? To an extent but im of the opinion that these little things dont drastically change the car so i say there are the same.

Exactly.

With the Lexus IS 200/Toyota Altezza for example, they both debuted in Europe/Japan at the same time. The Altezza got an I-4 and the IS 200 got an I-6. We got the IS 300 with the 2JZ. At least the engines were different. Otherwise though, everything else was pretty identical.

Actually we agree, I think a G35 here re badged as a Skyline is perfectly fine and I actually prefer it that way. I've already explained how the G35 doesn't change much anything from the Skyline.

The Skyline/GT-R/G35/37 are all built in the same factory on literally the same production line. You can see GT-Rs and Skylines and G37s all mixed together.

The GT-R has always been loved in Europe and especially the U.K. The skyline/G35 gets less love there. Infiniti has finally come to Europe and had made some adjustments from the US G37, including suspension tweaks and upgraded interiors. This pissed off some Infiniti owners here who are asking "why the hell does Europe get this stuff and not us, your biggest market".
