Correct. Infiniti will use engine size for designation of vehicle names. I believe they do have the recognition now for the G,M,FX,QX and Q class of vehicles and can attach whatever they want at the end of the names. Most of us on this forum refer to our cars as a G coupe or G sedan, right?

 

How about just GDriver.

 

exactly! i dont go around saying G35, i just say G

 

heeh the admins better register tht domain before someone else does

 

Nissan/Infiniti have not always named their cars in a similar manner to Merc and BMW. The introduction of the G35 in their lineup was a pivotal time for Nissan. It put them on the same map as the 3 series. In order to distance themselves from "another jap" automaker they have been modeling some of their products in the same manner as the competition they are gunning for.

The Skyline GTR's numerals you mention are meant to distinguish the different generations. I do not believe the numerals correspond to the engine. The G numerals are (along with the rest of Infinitis lineup) named after the engine displacemen in a simlar manner as Merc/BMW. Ultimately I think we will see another engine option in the G and it will follow suit in a similar manner as the M/FX.

 

"G14 Classified."

G45 sounds so mean.

 

Yeah, I was hoping for an 8 in the next G. Maybe in a few more.

 

g35 sounds better

 

I know that the R33, etc. is for the generations. I guess I was wondering if it is going to be the G37 here, but the V36 in Japan as the Skyline? Because right now the G35 in Japan is the V35 right?

 

Yep. Good question about the japan naming though. My guess is as good as yours. Afterall, it's a Nissan in Japan too. I think they just market stuff differently in America for some reason.

 

Because we are Americans and are weird

 

Sooo... G37 should=around 370 h.p. right?!

If so, where do I sign up for one?

 

LOL.... with that math G35 = 350hp

 

G37 would = 3.7 liter

 

Maybe a I should have added a:
