Junkyard Find: 1992 Infiniti M30

No problem, just add some bling to the JDM Nissan Leopard, move the steering wheel to the left side, and you've got an instant Lexus SC300 competitor for the American market! Sadly for Nissan, few bought the M30 (though its J30 successor sold pretty well), and M30 junkyard finds are quite rare today. Here's one that survived the Cash For Clunkers Japanese Luxpocalypse but then succumbed to depreciation five years later.

Naturally, the Japanese-market ads for the F31 Leopard coupe are far superior to anything shown on the other side of the Pacific.
