The GT-R will not be using the Infiniti name (according to Ghosn). It has been and will always be a Nissan car (except if you exclude that the Skyline itself was originally developed by Prince Motors before it merged with Nissan-Datsun... Nissan still developed the Skyline that we all know today, the GT-R). It's also supposed to have near 480 HP from what I've read, not 450. Supposedly, it will be using a VQ in TT fashion (which is what the spy pictures help support) as to what model exactly... no one is entirely sure.

I just wish Nissan wouldn't shoot for the high-end market with it. The original GT-Rs cost around 40k, not around 70k like most are speculating the new GT-R to cost.

Nice engine, disappointing style. As a current G35 owner it looks like they've improved everything but the exterior. Whoever compared it to the (ugh) Altima is right. Really went cheesy and conservative on the styling this time.

What's with all the Altima hate... I like my 2007 Altima 3.5SL :(. Much better than the similarly-equipped Maxima.

The Altimas are nice...until you park next to a Max. I can't go out without seeing at least 12 or 15 Alts compared to maybe 2 or 3 Maximas. But, I can see why they are so popular. You do get a lot of what's in the Maxima for less $$. I could have gotten a G35, but I don't feel the need to be pretentious, so I chose to get 95% of the Infiniti and save the money for my other hobbies.

If I can convince myself to stick with front wheel drive, I'll probably end up trading in the Maxima for a TL. I wouldn't mind having a 325i but I don't want to be one of "those BMW a$$holes" ;)
