I don't see Nissan getting rid of the g or the infiniti line and I don't see the z disappearing either.

The most truthful thing said in the thread.
Really, the Infiniti brand was made to sell expensive Nissans to the US, because the US tends to be very brand conscious.
The Z is basically a G that's lighter and harsher, and as long as the two share so many parts, the Z acts as an affordable halo car for the company. I doubt they make money on the car, but I know they sell a ton of Gs.
