I just wanted to ask you guys a question since you would probably know the answer best out of these forums. I saw a two black G35's the other day, each had the factory spoiler, one car was four doors the other was the coupe. However, as I watched these cars go by (at different times of the day, not together) I see the infiniti emblem centered on the back of the trunk lid, and below it I read "SKYLINE" instead of the "infiniti" what I was expecting to read. So the US is selling the G35 under the skyline name, or the G35 IS the new Skyline? Very cool nonetheless. :-D
The infiniti g35 is the US version of the nissan skyline but it's not the Skyline GT-R that everybody likes. Nissan has decided not to attach the GT-R badge to the Skyline and make the GT-R a different car. what you probably saw is an infinity g35 but has the skyline letters instead of the g35 emblem.
AWD=more money!
more money * lots of cars=lots of money!
lots of money = less profit for Nissan!
less profit for Nissan = unhappy people!
unhappy people = less sex!
See the chaotic iterations???!!!! Now you know why they don't add AWD! LOL! So be happy with what we've got!

That car you saw belongs to the Lot guy Francis's wife. He works at Infintty. As for the skyline emblems, he ordered those from Japan and put them on her car. Simple. The g35 in japan go under the skyline monker. As we all know Infinity is an American name brand and does not exsist in Japan.
If you ever had the 350z or g35 on a rack, you will also notice that the front suspension has provisions to be able to except an AWD system. time will tell.....
My guess is that Nissan wanted to see if the public was willing when it came to the 350z and the G35 platforms first before sinking millions more into awd drivetrains???
Hey man, don't give up on an Infinti GT-R yet. I've heard rumors of an Infiniti G35 GT-R. It's rumored to have a 3.5, 4.0, or 4.5 V8. I don't know if it will have all whell drive though, but if Nissan/Infiniti decides to make a G35 GT-R, they better make it all wheel drive.
You can go on www.Google.com and type in G35 GT-R and you will find little info, but it is there as well as the concept version of it. All I've been able to find on it is that it has a V8.
i dont think it would be right for them to use a 4.5 v8.. it just seems so unothadox for nissan/infinity to use a big motor in a sports car.. somethin i dont think they have done?
