I didn't remember them ever saying it was 260HP, but I could be wrong. But you would think, why would they say 260HP when the G35 has 260. That would affect their own cars. I doubt they would do that.
It may not have been changed over night in a commercial but when nissan first came out with the new engines they rated them at 260hp. Claimed the most HP in its class. Then when some magazine got ahold of one to test they found out it had less and Nissan had to adjust the hp figures accordingly. Basically they either got cought lying or did some pretty bad calculations.
