so i dont understand nissan's naming convention...

in j-land the nissan skyline will now be called infiniti skyline (Q50).

in the us, the infiniti Q50 was suppose to replace the G37. but it appears G37 sedans will continue to 2015 unchanged. anyway, the G37C is now called Q60...even though it is the same shape as the G37C.

why call the G37C a Q60 while the G37 sedan is going to continue to 2015 unchanged?

i dont get it.

doesn't make much sense. Why would the gtr, with the biggest motor of the bunch and most power, be named q50 the smallest number of the bunch?

GTR is "GTR" in japan as in the US.

skyline is the G37/G37C/Q50/Q60. but then nissan's flagship car "GTR" is a nissan, not infiniti.

You're spending that much money... get 'em shiny.
Flat, and they look like Plasti-Dipped rice.

satin and flat are different.

flat = matte
satin = semi-gloss
gloss = bald (shiny)
