neat! Go Nissan/Infiniti! My daughter says it looks like red flakes are in the black paint so Crimson Black makes sense, too.

You can tell they're making good decisions via stock evidence. I had a feeling their line-ups would have more "delighters" than normal, plus they've been undervalued. I bought into NSANY at ~$15 and it's over $20 in just 6 months. fingers crossed that they'll continue making good choices

...except for the fact that Nissan misspelled "joke", so far so good...

I wish they had given it a V8 - not interested in a low torque 6

While I would like to see a Supercharged IPL, I highly doubt it. Chances are good they would make it a Hybrid before they would Supercharge it.

I wonder if Infiniti is going to offer an IPL G37 in Sedan form?

I would imagine that M would get an IPL version. Perhaps on the M56S, that would be something.

Doesn't make sense for them to supercharge the IPL... once they do that, it is a 60k+ car and once it gets into that range, it starts to compete with the GTR... they aren't going to duplicate something they have already done and have it fall within the same price range

Why not? Gt-r is closer to $90k that's not even close to what the ipl would cost had they gone f/I. Ipl imo should have either been f/I or a high revving v8 to compete with m3 or is-f and be in that 60-70k price range. Now if we look at bmw they have the 335I, 335is and then m3. Infiniti could be headed in that direction with this first ipl g37 being comparable to bmw's 335is but only time will tell. If that is the case I applaud infiniti for waiting and taking the time to perfect the real ipl cars but we'll see

As the product manager for the IPL brand said, they could have easily done that but no one would have purchased it. Infiniti is not in the position right now to sell vehicles in the AMG and M price range. Maybe in 5 years.

I'm calling complete "Bull----" on the 2nd article because I had my 08 an entire year and it was fast but I can definitely tell a difference in the IPL. Some of the comments noted "conditions" and their lack of correction which I agree with but it still vexes me.

Posting this to be completely objective
I just got finished reading the comparison test in the new issue of Car and Driver magazine. In that particular test, the IPL G37 ran the same exact performance figures as a non-IPL G37. The only thing the IPL did better was on the skidpad. Sadly, the G37 couldn't even come close of the performance to the Audi or BMW. Personally, performance figures don't mean much to me, but it would still be nice to see the G37 at least competitive with the other cars tested.
