I know Infinitis are badged as Nissans over in Japan, and the G35, G37 are both Skylines. (GTR would have been based off those if Nissan didn't decide to make it it's own car, and the older skylines could've been imported to North America as Infiniti Gs in the 90s)

But this is weird. I know the EX is a G37 crossover, but it'd be better as a Nissan X-Lux or something rather than a Skyline

I think its because here in the states we hear Skyline and think the R# super tuners and the GTR. Someone a while backed posted a picture of all the different skylines there have been. The 350z was up there and I believe an suv if I'm not mistaken.

350z and 370z have close parralels to the GTR. Its like a g35/g37 GTR. The 350z is the preformance version of the G35 coupe so it really makes sence. They also share the 35 and 37 numbers in north america

SUV's are the modern day wagon.

Skylines are wagons.

Old news. They want to slowly, introduce Infiniti in Japan.

Q50 is called "Skyline by Infiniti" and has the Infiniti badge on it.

And the car you posted is called QX50, not EX.

I used the old name because I find the Q names confusing as shit.

Also according to Wikipedia, they don't use Nissan or Infinti in marketing, just "Skyline".

It doesn't say Infiniti anywhere on the car from what i've seen.
But I don't know, I've never been to Japan.

That's a Infiniti badge on that car, isn't it?

And there's nothing confusing about the Q naming. Repeat after me:

Q30-A3

Q50 -A4

Q60-A5

Q70-A6

Q80-A7/A8

QX50-Q5

QX60-Q7

QX70-X6

QX80-Escalade

Easy as Q.

"the older skylines could've been imported to North America as Infiniti Gs in the 90s"

I'm thought that the 1990-1996 Infiniti G20 was a Nissan Primera/Pulsar, not a Skyline.

That's just a temporary model, I think they will use the Q40 name for a coupe/4 door coupe/sedan version of the upcoming Q30.
