They could bring it here and sell it as an entry level Infiniti. Remember the G20? With the G35/37 steadily increasing in price, an affordable RWD sports car could be just what the doctor ordered for Infiniti.
After the G37, I don't have that much faith in Infiniti...
I saw a VW Beatle Turbo S (lightly modded) at a track event. I was DOH! 'd many times on how well it performed. Something about perfect balance or something to that effect. I guess it pays to have a face that looks like your ass.

^ this is true. although it would certainly put a quick end to the altima coupe. i can't imagine anyone purchasing the AC if there was a similar infiniti available for the same price.

I'm with you on this one. I would be proud to park it next to my G35 Coupe in the garage. I spent 13 years while in service assigned to Okinawa, Japan. This platform has a strong following and proven sport driving performance history. The Nissan 180/240SX platforms that were in the past sold stateside were watered down versions compared to the brute power JDM machines (mainly the engine type availability) in Japan. The only negative thing about it being brought over as an Infinity as opposed to Nissan is that premium prices for Infiniti service checks would be part of the package. I would rather that it be sold as a Nissan stateside. The Altima and Silvia are two complete different types of platforms. The Silvia is a true rear wheel drive fun to drive sport platform. I would love to see this car come back to the states but with the same potent power of the JDM versions sold in Japan.

Reason: Spelling
i would be all for the silvia coming here, but they'd have to drop the AC for sure. sure they are pretty different cars to US, but to the general buying public they are very similar in size, options, HP, etc. nevermind FWD vs RWD, i doubt the average AC buyer even knows which wheels power their car.
