My wife saw this in Hong Kong.  What is it?

Forgot the name of the car, but they did a review of it on Top Gear this season.  It's a Japanese made Rolls Rotce rip off.  Definately not as nice or powerful.  I think it cost around $50,000.  Dont think they will be coming to the US.  They said it was decent, but no where near the standard of a Rolls Royce.

Judging by the bumper fascia diving up and into the front fenders, it looks like it may be a body-kit re-work of an Infiniti G35 sedan.

Not looking at buying one, don't really care for it, just different and she has never seen one before.  I remember it on Top Gear, but couldn't find any more info.

Gear heads rule!  [bow_down]

Don't give 'em any ideas, as they're already pushing the RR thing a little far.

Different B-pillar.
