Was at Vietnamese restaurant Pho Cao Dao on Mira Mesa Blvd and spotted this on the way out. Hmm... looks like the Nissan Skyline is making an early appearance. I had thought that the Skyline wouldn't be available until '08? 
Yes, I know it's a rebadged Infiniti G35.

Yeah, but the current Nissan Skyline in Japan does not carry the same lineage as the previous Skylines. It's not the same car. The 2008 Skyline GT-R is the real deal.

Why? In Japan that is exactly what the name of that model is. They are just removing what the American's like to see, a luxury badge. Also, 9 times out of 10, their just trying to stick out.
It's nothing like putting a M badge on a non-M bmw.
