How about this - make more GT-R's and ship them to Infiniti dealers unchanged. Sure it says Nissan, but anyone dropping 70k isn't going to sneeze because of the name.]]>Feb 11th 2008 10:41AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/11/nissan-considering-infiniti-gt-r/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/11/nissan-considering-infiniti-gt-r/Feb 11th 2008 10:45AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/11/nissan-considering-infiniti-gt-r/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/11/nissan-considering-infiniti-gt-r/So, unless it's just a rebadge, it probably wouldn't work.]]>Feb 11th 2008 10:51AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/11/nissan-considering-infiniti-gt-r/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/11/nissan-considering-infiniti-gt-r/Feb 11th 2008 10:52AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/11/nissan-considering-infiniti-gt-r/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/11/nissan-considering-infiniti-gt-r/

And Infiniti needs this.
It already lacks a proper flagship.]]>Feb 11th 2008 10:52AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/11/nissan-considering-infiniti-gt-r/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/11/nissan-considering-infiniti-gt-r/
How about a detuned GT-R to ostensibly make some 380/400hp (pruely for the insurance brokers, but in actuality 415/420hp), provide a better interior and ride comfort.

Doesn't necessarily need to be AWD, RWD might be more fun. Set the M3 as a benchmark and price it as such.

The End.

The kind of people that would buy the GTR, aren't looking for an Infiniti badge. They're looking for a GTR. While Infiniti customers think performance is cool, they're not looking at GTR class performance.]]>Feb 11th 2008 11:01AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/11/nissan-considering-infiniti-gt-r/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/11/nissan-considering-infiniti-gt-r/
