Anyone seen an Infiniti 350 GT Skyline

I was driving on my way to work this morning and saw a what looked to be a G35 coupe, pretty sweet, but then he passed me and I saw on the back of the car 350 GT Skyline. The car looked just like a G35 coupe but I assume it was a little different. Anyone know about this car, I can't find to much online either

I like the name Skyline. I've seen one in Atlanta with it and it looks good but u got to get rid of the Infiniti bage out front.

There are a couple of guys with G35s with GT-R badges, which is really =

Remember that the Infiniti G35 is the US edition of the Nissan Skyline.

Nissan Japan

regardless of who makes it the G35/V35 coupe is freakin sick! Just wish it was a little bigger, thats why I loved the CL. Cause you don't feel like your in a miata. Size really does matter

I've seen several skyline badges around So Cal but I've read that some of the Japanese puts INFINITI G35 badges on their Skylines "Grass is always greener..."

True but, that G35C looks cool with the Nissan badges.

I have to admit it, I would rather have the G35 coupe. BUT, I do own a CL-S and I remain loyal to the brand. After all, in 2001 the cl-s was the shit and nissan had nothing to answer back with. So I live with What I got and I know I can outrun a stock G35 with my mods.

If the Infiniti G35 is the US edition of the Nissan Skyline, why is there the Fairlady 350z and Skyline in the same lineup as Nissan? Seems like both cars are competing against themselves... unless there is a significant engine difference....... I'm assuming there is..... Just curious......

Dunno about Japan, but at least in America, the Z is only a 2 seater, the G has 4 seats, and then a sedan option. I would bet its the same way in Japan. Z is a 2 seater, Skyline has 4 seats, and I think they have Skyline sedans there too, but I could be wrong.

Different markets developed by different tastes. Nissan is Nissan around the globe except the US which is Nissan and Infiniti. Nissan Fairlady 350Z will be targeted for people who want a fast car with fewer amenities, and which will not hold more than 2 people. The Skyline 350 GT will be targeted for people with higher interior expectations who demand power and sportiness at a higher price.

Its like Toyota building the Camry and the Corona targeted for the same markets. The consumers are the ones who make the difference.

Acura and Lexus are the same in that they are known as Honda and Toyota in Japan (and everywhere else I think). The TLS is the inspire.

The G35c is a gorgeous car!

I often go to this site to look at the pics, basically.

What's amazing to me, is that there are like 15 different skyline(G35) models ranging from both 4 & 2 door, 4 & 6 cylinders, etc. They pretty much cover from top to the very bottom with power & price.
