It should have replaced the G20.

 

Oh boy now that's exciting

I'll take the 2.5L Turbo anyday over the N/A 3.7L, especially if it doesn't come with the lame VVEL lol

 

I highly doubt this will only have 250 hp. The G25 in China already has 235 hp and 187 lb.ft. Adding a turbo and only gaining 15 more hp makes no sense at all.

The VQ25DET is the non HR engine and makes 280 hp/300 lb.ft. The HR version with turbo should do better, unless they restrict it as to not step on the toes of the VQ37.

Turbocharging might be the future for Infiniti. A VR35DETT with around 360hp/360lb.ft would be damn cool and would step right over the new S4 and 335i.

 

I doublt they'd come up with a VR35DETT when their VR38DETT is already out there whooping azz. A smaller VQ25 looks more like their path

 

That s great news! This may be the wife s new car.

 

No, I'm talking about a replacement for the VQ37VHR.

They could have both a turbo 2.5 and a turbo 3.5 (VR35DETT).

The VQ38DETT used in the GT-R would probably be overkill.

 

I think it'll be a failure.

 

Does the powertrain in China have any type of emissions restrictions at all?

 

You meant the VR38DETT

 

Might be a dumb question...but won't the 2012 G be "All New". The G line will be "old" for 2011 (5th year of a model). Using past performance, 2012 should bring a new engineered car. OR

1. Drop the 2.5turbo in the 2011 G and carry it over for an all new G the next year.
2. The G will not get an overhaul till 2013 model year.
3. I'm making no sense.

 

2013 is the overhaul year for the coupe.

the G37 sedan came out 2009.... so 2014 for an overhaul ??

 

Naw...the G37 really came out in 07 as the G35...so the 2010 Model (avail now) is really in its 4th year.

 

Nogood, I highly doubt it. If you think 2014 for the next gen, that would mean 7 years with the current body style. Not gonna happen.

 

I think it's good for Infiniti just not the way I would have done it. I think small displacement lower pressure turbo motors are for the birds (I owned an Audi 1.8T and have driven others). I'm just not a fan of turbos unless you need to go somewhere an NA motor can't whether it be weight, packaging or need for gross qty of bhp.

In another thread I predicted they would follow a similar path (mutiple engine offerings) but why not 250bhp (2.5L) and a 350bhp (3.7L)? Simpler engines, lower cost, better reliability and more fitting with their brand image as a driver's car. There's no replacement for displacement!

 

yeah, that's true Garnet .... so this could be a refresh model.... different front end for 2010.... new engine for 2011

and 2012 will get a new body?.....
