SPOTTED:nissan skyline sedan

[dezinr]

My buddy saw one of these the other day up in the Royal Oak area. Sorry no pics...but this is what he saw...as he said the car had Skyline on the trunk and 350 GT as the badging. When did these become available here?

Picture is to represent what he saw.

it's a re-badged infiniti g35......

[dezinr]

Is this just a maxima with changed badging? That is what I thought when he told me. Anyways just thought I'd share with everyone.

Its called the skyline in Japan. Its the same car as the G35. The owner probably just re badged it

[dezinr]

Ok....that makes sense. Thanks Skyline_Addict

[dezinr]

That what I thought.....I didn't think there would be a true skyline here....but who knows in this city with all the money...

[inline6turbo]

... a "true skyline"?


the G35 is a true skyline, just with a different badge...

[SilverBoost]

JDM cars are the only 'true' cars I guess. :rolleyes:

He meant like an "actual", not-rebadged, skyline, but hey, let's all jump down his throat for no reason :thumbsup:

Thanks A790 for the support. Yes I meant 'actual' Skyline. I apologize if I offended anyone. I have always liked Skylines and in no way meant to come across negatively or inappropriately.

Mods you can close this thread. In the future I will be sure to be more thorough in my postings and ensure that they are clear and do not offer any confusion.

Cool story, Hansel.

I don't get the Hansel part?

You're not alone ... I did the same thing on another forum back in January. I live in the NW; I bet it was the same car. I grabbed a quick pic with my camera phone, but it wasn't very clear.

There's a link in one of the replies that explains it well:

I never understood why someone would rebadge their car, what a waste of money. At least this guy's going the right way, not like the Lexus Corolla I've seen around town. :rofl:

sorry I forgot that the internet is serious bidness. I was only busting balls because I'm actually so tired of hearing about JDM that and JDM this. How about showing some love for CDM. Of course my car was made in Mexico so does that make it MDM? Or maybe because it was a car for sale in canada, designed in the US, but from a Japanese manufacturer but made in Mexico, it's a JMUSCDM :D

It's not a Lexus Corolla, it's a Lexus rollaS. :rolleyes:

There was a re-badged G35 at DTP, white one. Damn sexy, I think I saw it again at the Silvercity parking lot.

"Cool story, Hansel" is a line from Zoolander.

[Annoyingrob]

If he went through the effort of re-badging his G35, was it at least a G35X? (AWD G35)

I saw this car downtown i was going to post about it on here but i had no pictures as well so I did't wanna get flamed and waste people's time.
