I wouldn't mind rocking a 7 speed but the 5AT is still fun to play with.


AWD would be great if they added 20 or 25 HP along with it. AWD +4WAS + 355HP + 7 speed would be a nice combo -and especially in a convertible!

 

Yes! My desired combination of coupe + AWD has finally arrived from Infiniti! Now if only the economy would get a bit better.

 

I spoke to a chi~town area dealer friday, biz trip, he just got the order sheets, he is just now ready to take pre orders. it did not give curb weight ~ I had to ask that one. 7 at and awd confirmed for delivery mid 2009. enjoy!

 

More details! What about the paint? What combos of transmission and drivetrain are there?

 

Mid 2009 ??? WTF ? When will the dealers get them in stock ?

 

I'm skeptical they would start taking orders a year before they are available.

 

I don't care about the 7AT or AWD.

I'm more intereted in the paint, and what the new white will look like?

 

Moonlight White is a true, bright white. It isn't like the Ivory pearl which is off-white or, well, ivory. The 2008+ M's come in Moonlight White.

 

+1

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this to come true.

 

I don't care about anything but the white. wtf. If i just bought an IP last week, WHY THE F*$@ do they have to update to a different moonlight white? I hope they atleast leave Ivory Pearl for another 2 years.

and why would a company update a car in ONE year? BMW, Acura, Lexus, etc., keeps the same exact vehicle the same to not make early buyers look like jackasses when they buy a 2008 and 2009 already changes.

 

Moonlight White is very nice.

 

whats the real difference with moonlight white? I think in the other thread 09 G speculation thread they were saying its more of a straight white with little to no pearl?

 

If this was around at launch I would have probably opted for the moonlight white over the PG. I can't get by the offwhite/eggshell/ivory look of the IP.
Pure white is going to look awesome though.

 

eh I'm opposite. If it has less pearl then I'm glad to get the IP, I love the pearl in the light. This is probably like what Lexus did with the newer IS's they added a Starfire White to go along with a Glacier Frost Mica (pearl). I wonder why Infiniti doesnt keep both colors.

 

I like the depth that ivory pearl offers. It has a little more character, at least, imo, than a traditional bright white. That said...I'm interested in seeing MW on the coupe.

Here is the 08 M45 in Moonlight white. Hard to tell the difference in pictures:
