Chevy:

G35 is the Nissan Skyline in the Japanese market. This is the Nismo tuned version.

The front looks awesome, the rear looks a little too busy

I don't like the way the headlights sweep back into the fenders.  Also, the rear of the car just looks pudgy, thanks to the spoiler on top of the short decked trunk.  I think the car would look a bit better sans spoiler (I know it's the NISMO version), and with a trunk lid a bit longer.

well, the headlights you can do nothing about but i think a lip spoiler in the back would definately help.

btw doesnt it look awefully similar to the infinity G35. :tounge:

That's because it IS an Infiniti G35.  The G35 here in America is the same as the Skyline over there.  ;)

They don't even compare. This is acceptable somewhat. The IS-F is just a turd.

It's a bit gawdy for my tastes, but I do think it came out better than the IS-F.  The IS-F looked like it underwent an amateur lowering job.  There appeared to actually be a negative gap between the tire and the fender arch (appeared as though the fender was covering the top bit of the tire when viewed from the side).  The NISMO has a little bit of wheel gap, making the wheel wells look well-filled, but not over-filled or making the car look like it was lowered too much.

Any chance our G35 will get a package like that?

You can probably just order it through a Nissan dealer. It's NISMO so expect to pay an arm and leg though.

Oddly enough in a way it looks more like the new GS (c-pillar, overall profile) and the IS (the wheels) than an Infiniti. I still love it though. I wonder if they will make a NISMO Fuga...

Wasn't Nissan going to start a performance parts division for Infiniti in the US that was basically going to be NISMO with another name?

For some reason Infiniti cannot make a rear that isn't enormous.

I like the front, the back not so much.  I do really like the wheels though, and the color.
