Infinit or Nissan for GT-R_debate
i find this a bit ridiculous, and vain:
Auto Week 1/10/05
2005 Detroit: Audi concept debuts; should GTR be Nissan or Infiniti?
AUTOMOTIVE NEWS
Should GTR be Nissan or Infiniti?
Nissan Motor Co. faces a dilemma: whether to sell the Skyline GTR sports car as a Nissan or an Infiniti when it comes to the United States as a 2008 model. The GTR is known globally as a Nissan, but Infiniti dealers here think they should get the coupe because Nissan dealers have the 350Z sports car. "It's hard to have a car as well known as the GTR sold as a Nissan in Japan and an Infiniti in the U.S.," says Patrick Pelata, executive vice president of business planning for Nissan Motor Co. "Even the Sony PlayStations have a GTR game so you can't play and cheat with that name. We've got to find a solution to that."
---so the debate over the name is because Infinity is jealous that Nissan has the Z car? were it my choice, i'd call it Nissan GT-R in a new york minute. racing classes don't recognize or entertain Infiniti. they have Nissan.
but it will be what it will be; the car will be the GT-R regardless.
