lol People who didnt know what it was would come up to me and ask if it really was a Skyline (as in R34, dont ask me why they couldn't figure it out) and I always explained that it is a G35 that has been rebadged.. which led to questions of why and blah blah.

This very thing was a long debate on the G35 boards. A lot of owners think its dumb, or degrading since Nissan is supposedly a lower tiered brand than Infiniti, while others are intrigued by the Skyline heritage.. then some people just want to be different and that was me.

Skyline heritage>Infiniti heritage. Its not even close. You are right.

I think thats what disgusted me, a lot of Infiniti guys had this elite attitude toward Nissan.. like it was beneath them. Granted the service is 10x better at an Infiniti dealership, its nothing more than a marketing ploy.

More options were needed Tony, I just saw this thread though lol.

Your car had great styling and performance but I know you know the true answer to your question. Does it matter? Not at all.

This is such a subjective thread for anyone to argue over it means that they are close-brained.

So having opinions is close-minded now? Because I feel that a car's identity is based on something besides what the company uses as a marketing ploy selling in a "hostile" market that isn't their home? Feh.
