Was the G20 US only?

Well was it? or is it possible some Primera's were also sold else where in the world badged as G20's
I saw a Primera on friday night, same shape as Primera Mans but with a G20 badge. Wondering if it was a one off import, or some fool had gone to the trouble of getting badges from the US.
(which probobly cost more than the car)

uhm, i think it wsa north america only, cuz i know the G20 is sold in canada...

Someone may have imported it from overseas but i'd say it's more likely it was just badges.

The Primera is only sold in the Non-American countries like Japan and europe.
The Infiniti g20 is a branch of the Nissan company of the USA and would be mostly sold in Canada and America

Thats exactly what I thought. I just wondered if prehaps Nissan Tried the Infinity badge out on the Japanese Market for a short while.
Honda did the same thing with the Acura brand around 1989 a few Preludes and Integra's in Japan got Acura badges, but it didn't take off, so Acura remained USDM only.

It was a nice car, 16inch TSW's slightly lowered, side skirts, and then this silly little G20 badge, I guess over its a little diffrent.

Its all pretty silly really. But maybe I could make some money out of this. Primera badges can't be that hard to pinch from weackers. How much you wanna pay for them?

Or maybe you could just swap badges with Primera Man.

lol, well, thats a good idea. I tried to get something setup like that a while ago. Out of the 7 people that said they would buy, only three of them did. So, I got suckered into buying 4 sets of the Badges, and grills. They are nice, but I didnt have 4 cars to put them on

I hear that in Japan they all want US badging and headlights and stuff and they also like the amber turn signals and stuff like that....We in US all like the one piece clear headlights and turn signals but that is everywhere in Japan as stock so ambers are the kewl things in Japan...for example..my friend was at a Nissan dealer and these two japanese girls came in and want US style badging...I fogot what car...
