I doubt Nissan/Infiniti would be that stupid to add Nismo to the Infiniti branch!

I think that "V" would be kind of cool...if you turn the Infiniti logo upside down it makes a "V" shape, but Cadillac already has that.
The Infiniti V series...sounds badass, but already taken.

Infiniti has already registered the trademark "R Spec" which is expected to be used for their "high performance" models, although nothing official has been announced.

no I'm not joking. If both brands are owned by Nissan, what sense does it make to have a whole different branch just for parts and tuning?
Also, why not just forget about it completely? There's no need for a sport division for a luxury automaker when you have the 350Z and soon enough the GTR on the road as true sports cars, and not "luxury sports".

I'm sure some one could create interesting variations of STFU, WTF, and OMG.
Then there's always GFY - use your imagination. Or one could use TLA - simply a three letter acronym.

Let's not fall into the same hole as Subaru and Mitsubishi.
Last time I checked, they had a model called the Subaru Impreza WRX STi Spec-C RA-R. Might as well just call it the Subaru WTH since nobody will be able to remember the name.

Remember the old r34 skyline which became GT-R-> GT-R Vspec -> GT-R VspecII -> GTR VspecII Nür/ GTR Mspec Nür and they also had a Nismo R34 Ztune. Lets just hope nissan dont fall into this again at least not with the Infiniti lineup.

Infiniti "Nismo" would be the joke of the luxury divisions. It is not a serious name for a luxury vehicle.
Also, there is a need for a sport division in a luxury automaker because, obviously, no one looking for a Cayman S or a BMW M3, is going to cross into a Nissan dealer looking for a similar product.
