compare & contrast the Infiniti G35 coupe & Nissan Skyline coupe

I must say it's a hot ride. Bring out the Skyline AWD (Murano has that AWD configuration on the same platform) and it's like having the real thing.

Wow i new that the G35 and Skyline shared much of the same technology, but I didn't know they were the exact same car. I guess all teh G35 owners can now brag about their "Skylines". But man now I can just see the poor little ricer kids buying G35's in 5 years and rebadging them to look like skylines. It'll be bigger then making your honda a type-r.

some already do rebadge their coupes to say "S K Y L I N E" in the middle and "350GT" on the right side, the name of the car in japan. but the car is amazing. i own the sedan and have fun everytime i drive it.

The G35 only made it's debut as a 2003 model. I'm not sure about the offerings in Canada, but in the US market, the G35 is a new introduction I believe replacing the entry level Infiniti G20.

There was no other comprable offering in 2002 or before.
