However more realistically I'd like to see the G37 pump its power up to 350HP and 300TQ.
I was going to ask for this... But I think we're more likely to see the M57 Coupe First... That will be badass though!

Just read about it on R&T... Copped this Photo, cuz it looks badass.
I gotta imagine they'd drop the V8 in the M Coupe first

Oh yea, I remember that photo now. It would be awesome but I thought it was debunked as a rumor.

But I wish it was coming.

Better paint quality. The current G is so easy to scratch up. Making the paint more durable is priority number one.

But I was wondering...what features and qualities would you like to see incorporated in a future Infiniti G Coupe/Sedan/Vert? Think about things that other auto manufacturers offer or are characterized by.

Would you like to see turbocharged engines for better low-end torque? More safety features such as something similar to a "BMW Assist" button? Better electronics, audio, etc.?

As a side note, don't wish for a 500hp engine with a 0-60 time of 3 seconds. We're talking G's here, not M6's.

Personally, I would like to see a better iPod interface, non-bubbling leather seats, higher quality interior materials, and a stock exhaust note similar to that of the G35, which sounded much better IMO. Also, I think that the stock sport package brakes leave much to be desired.

Anyway, share your thoughts!
The G has an excellent, well earned reputation. I'm very happy with the car and glad I did some research before I made this car purchase. You mentioned a BMW M6, not for me and I just got my10 year BMWCCA pin in mail. A GTR, maybe, because I feel it offers better performance and build quality etc. etc. But, not sure I could make full use of the GTR’s capabilities during my daily drives. (Not that I wouldn’t like to try.)

Future options for the G? Well, FI without question. Other manufacturers have used TT to keep up with the G… a G with FI would make the comparison more legitimate and in my opinion, definitive. An easy 12 second car with handling and build quality, -sweet. I’d also like to see a redesigned wheel / wheel well configuration / combination for the G to give a more aggressive look at stock height. Oh and DRL.

Realistically we could use: better paint, real brake ducts rather than faux vents, hassle free seatbelt recliner, easy to use ipod interface (scrolling through tracks), direct injection, some weight reduction, more reinforced roof to fix roof creaking, i could go on and on.

Make this an optional engine and call it the G47.

You guys wanted torque right?

435HP/516LB.FT

A DI engine with 400 hp and 350 lb ft.

A nicer interior and a bigger NAV screen (like BMW).

Daytime Running LEDs - c'mon the only luxury brand without them?!

LED taillights that are more cohesive like on the Audis.

Better use of interior space - like in Honda/Acura.

Mirror blinkers.

Better stereo.

That's all... if they make these changes they will kill the competition.

Here are my three suggestions:

1. Increase in low end torque and flatter torque curve
2. More exterior and interior color choices and wood trim, particularly for G37 Coupe, MT
3. Larger trunk or greater cargo space with rear seats folded down
