It is late and I cannot remember it being done right at the moment. Help me out people!

Again, I dont recall an auto manufacture switching a model to another line of cars ie.. taking a corvette and making it a Caddy instead of keeping it a Chevy.

It just doesn't make sense since hardly anyone will be able to afford it. It may become the NSX. Those who can afford it will go for a $100,000 Porsche. This is supposed to be a car that can beat those Euro Exotics for half the price.
Z costs averages around 31k, G costs 35K ish. I could see this car selling for $45-55K, like a corvette, tops.
To make the Nissan Skyline into an Infinity would be wierd.
It would be like Selling the Corvette as a Cadillac.
They Skyline got popular because it was "affordable" to the masses in Japan even though it was on the upper end of affordable. It was a Nissan; a sports car. Not a luxury sports car.

For me to choose $80K Nissan over intended Carrera-S for my next car... They better make it look better than new Mitsu Evo or G35 with some fancy headlights (the picture from that other link)
I love the rear end of drawing of GTR but the front is too fancy/not clean/new Mitsu looking/space age.

how many people in the US is gonna pony up for 150k ford? and how much of the skyline will be based off the g35/350z? 10%? 20%? probably not much at all for 80k. rebadging a car like the skyline is stupid. it's confusing for people everywhere. if people in europe wants a corvette, they're looking for a chevrolet corvette, not a cadillac or pontiac or holden corvette. a chevrolet corvette.
