ya one of my friends buddies had one like it. his was fake but theres a new skyline out in the G35 body. Its called the Skyline V35. dont know if ur buddies is real or not but it might be. kinda like a case of a ricer slapping a v-tec badge in his stock civic with really obnoxious exhaust.

Yep. Dopey people just rebadge their cars sometimes.

Nissan will produce a Skyline (maybe called a GT-R here)for the US next year though, but Infiniti will still have the G35.

I'd bet big money it isn't. No Skylines were ever produced that had left-hand drive. The only ones in the US are rigth-hand drive or very expensive conversions. If it looked like a G35 coupe, then that's exactly what it was.

I haven't been keeping up with the latest news in this saga. I know that Nissan figured out that it could make some big bucks by using the Skyline name in the US market. What it will have to do with original Skylines is another question.

Here's some pics on Edmunds, but I don't know if they are still going with this body design - http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...leId=100486033

just think of how many badges like that will be slapped on hondas and anything with a wing once that skyline comes here.

I don't think so. I think Nissan will keep the name and not let Infiniti use it.

A bunch of ricers buying Skyline badges for their G35s doesn't change anything. You won't find a G35 in Japan with a Skyline badge on it from the factory.
