Yeah, they have had a lot of different mules. Of course, this is the first one photgraphed in the US. Hopefully another AZ member can get us a front and side view

Wow, welcome to last month...http://www.g35club.org/concept.htm

I thought it was already covered on the this thread that this mule could be *either* the new G35 coupe or new GTR.

However, the exhaust lines up EXACTLY with the GTR, so that's where my votes go.

I believe there is a winter testing facility near Sault St. Marie. The facility rents out the proving grounds to a variety of manufacturers. Similar to the Phoenix area proving grounds, but opposite climates.

If you compare the GT-R Proto to the Infiniti Concept to the GT-R test mules, to the picture, the answer seems clear. At least, IMO.

Anybody know where I can find a bank where the security is lax. I'm not real big on guns. I was thinking maybe I would rob it with a real heavy telephone or something. I could threaten to bean somebody with a rotary phone. Those things are heavy. I gotta get some quick money together when this car comes out over here!
