Nissan and Kia=G35

I was at my uncle's shop and saw a G35 and started to talk to him about the car and the damages to it. Out of no where he goes to tell me that Nissan and Kia came together and designed the car. He said he found out becasue he was looking in his parts book for some parts and did not find the car under Nissan/ Infinity, but instead found it under Kia. Is this all true or is he just bsing me?

That was too funny. I don't think thats true because I actually have a friend who was at NDI during the design process of the Z and G35 (which was designed in Japan). He said they used several outside consultants for the coupe (one which was a previous Porsche designer) and most of it was in-house in Japan. If it is true that Kia did design it, I would be shocked.

Kia & Infiniti...not likely. More like a typ-o in the parts book.

Plus, I am pretty sure GM has a substancial stake in Kia Motors...

The 2005 Kia Amanti comes with an Infinity sound system, that's about as close to a design merger as it gets.

That CAN’T be true.
KIA makes much better interiors then Nissan/Infiniti.
