Driving near Riverside, CA yesterday (2/13/04) I spotted what looked like a maroon G35 sedan ahead of me. However, there was a "NISSAN" hamburger emblem on the back, widely-spaced "SKYLINE" under that, and "350GT" under the passenger side taillight.

Of course, I immediately assumed a re-badge job by a regular G35 owner.

That is until I saw the MANUFACTURER plates!

It appeared to be LHD, but I couldn't get close enough to tell for sure. Rear wiper is on left, and in another pic it appeared that the right side was empty and the left side was occupied.

What is it? Euro model (but no euro 3rd brake light)? Is this old news?

 

?? is nissan having an identyity crisis?

 

they make them like that in japan, i seen a picture of a white one in japan with the rear wiper and skyline badges, but that could have been for a euro country if it's left hand drive. In japan, there is no infiniti brand, everything is nissan.

 

Oh yeah, i did see in a japanese car mag some proto type pics of the new Skyline GTR, it sort of reminds me of a G35C with like triangular headlight lenses and round rear lights in the flat G35C rear end, it didn't look all bad. Slightly different from the prototype car they've been showing.

 

could be testing the 8speed CVT in north america

everything on the car is JDM including the color

 

hmmm...who knows....but anyway that wiper in the back is ugly as hell.
