I don't think it was unreasonable at all to think this would be on the same level as the IS-350 to IS-F upgrade. Infiniti has a V8 that should fit, but instead we got exhaust, tune, and aero..

Anyone else think the new wheels are reminiscent of the new Maxima's wheels?

The IPL vehicles make a lot of sense becuase it's some cosmetic stuff, exhaust, and a tune that they can charge a premium for. As already mentioned people are doing this kind of stuff to their cars and now they can buy it right from the dealer that way with a full manufacturer warranty. Infiniti can make extra money with dumping in a bunch of R&D that would be required for a new car. This car is exactly the type of vehicle Infiniti needs; something to appeal to people who want "a bit extra" but something that won't scare them away with the price tag.
Besides all this, let's go back to the original trademarks where it was clear that IPL was just offering bolt on parts like Nismo and TRD. AMG, BMW M, and Lexus F trademarks are pretty clear that they apply to entire vehicles. The Nismo, TRD, and IPL trademarks are specific to bolt on parts.
The IPL vehicles match up nicely to things like BMW's M-sport, Audi's S-line, and Lexus' F-sport packages.
