Thats because its been around for a while already, it was presented at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show 7 months ago (October 2005).
Its called the Nissan GT-R Proto (porototype)

Estimated US price for the production version of the 400hp GT-R is $70K.

I'd like to see a comparison test between the GT-R and the all-new V8 BMW M3(the M3 will most likely still be priced under $60K).

And it was right that in all countries (incl. USA/CANADA), this GT-R would be launched as a NISSAN.

There would be no Infiniti counterpart for this one so that means it will be globally sold as a NISSAN for this upcoming gen. Sure, maybe a minority of American car fans would be disappointed (like a few from Freshalloy.com) pero wala silang magagawa.

By the time this car comes out, Infiniti won't be launched in Europe and Japan (2009 & 2010 respectively). Nissan is thinking that they don't want to create an Infiniti version for America and a Nissan version for Japan, Europe, etc.

This time, only one version will be available and that will be a Nissan brand. Sori nalang pero hindi siya magiging Infiniti.

If your still dismayed by this, then wait nalang 5-7 years later after the launching of the New GT-R kung gusto niyo ng supercar na tatak Infiniti (pero sa 2013-2015 pa iyon

)

I think they wont be direct competitors, the GT-R is a bigger, roomier coupe and with standard AWD it will be much heavier than a 911 Carrera 2 or 4... I guess its more of a not-so rich man's BMW M6.

At $70K its not much cheaper than the 911 Carrera.
911 Carrera $71K
911 Carrera 4 $77K
911 Carrera S $81K
911 Carrera 4S $87K

One of the cheapest super coupes is still the BMW M3(current price is $48,000), the next gen (400-plus horsepower) V8 M3 should be priced in the mid-50's.
