i read that it may be a nissan in automotive news - a magazine for people in the business. i think it is still up in the air, but there are people at nissan who feel strongly that the skyline should stay nissan, not infiniti - and will work to make it such.
 
if i hear any other news, i'll be sure to keep you all posted!

"it has the exact body as the Infiniti how could it be called anything else?"
 
It also has the exact same body as the current Nissan Skyline. Why not call it a Nissan, to differentiate it from the Infiniti and to keep a legend's longtime name?

I think it will be an Infiniti by cybersol

The reason is simple, at around 50-60k, people will expect Infiniti levels of service and the better Infiniti warranty.
 
Enjoy, cybersol

Whats the difference between Nissan and Infiniti by saab93viggen1

Truthfully there is not a difference. So what is the difference if it says Infiniti on the front and back of the GT-R. It is just to farther improve Infiniti's image. Expect the car to produce between 400 and 500 HP, also expect the V-6 engine with Twins to save weight. Expect fiberglass and carbon fiber parts to also reduce weight You should also expect a base price of $60,000. My friend heard a fall 06 date in the office. So dont be surprised it if comes out sooner then expected !

Being honest, the GT-R will definitely be under the Infiniti logo. Remember, the entire reasoning behind the new G35 sedan and coupe coming to the US market in 2002 was to "pacify" us American's thirst for the "real" performance driven Skyline. The new Skyline that Renault(they own 49% of Nissan's stock)\Nissan's introduced was brought here in 2002-2003. Recall they decided to kill the Skyline we grew to love in favor of a more emission friendly, safety enhanced, securely built, fuel efficient vehicle. Thats the main logic behind everyone feeling it will be an Infiniti. But I seriously believe that Renault\Nissan became aware that the real Skyline would sell here and thus plan on bringing it out mid '06 with a few popping up in showrooms across the country in late 06. (As the decided to do with the last 4 vehicles they have presented the North American market with.)

Skyline out now by jord533

Im sure im just extremely gullible but last week i saw an infinity that said skyline on the back. It looked identical to the G35 so it most likey is one but it looked sweet and i just wanted to make sure that it wasnt the real thing. good idea if its just a G35. Having Skyline on the back just makes it look so much better and raises an eyebrow. Let me know.

the g35 is called the skyline in japan. some people here will debadge their g35's and get the skyline badging and stick it on. in fact, the test mule for the upcoming skyline gtr is a g35 (with all the mechanicals changed underneath) and you can find pictures of that all over edmunds.
 
the new skyline gtr will not look like the g35, dont worry
