The first reports concerning the next-generation Infiniti G sedan and coupe, codenamed V37, have trickled into the R&T offices. The exterior body style was approved recently by Nissan design chief Shiro Nakamura. We hear from sources inside Nissan’s design studio that the new G, especially the coupe version, will borrow heavily from the styling of the Essence show car, which we saw at the Geneva Motor Show last March.
Around that time, the Financial Times reported that Nissan and Daimler were working together on a future luxury car. We hear that this joint project is the G Coupe (not so much the sedan). Our sources say that the next Infiniti G Coupe will be powered by Mercedes-Benz’s 3.5-liter V-6, with a turbocharged 3.0-liter diesel V-6 as an option for Europe. In other markets, including the U.S., it will be available with the M Hybrid’s gas-electric system and AMG’s 5.5-liter V-8 that will produce upward of 360 bhp. The latter will most likely wear the IPL (Infiniti Perform*ance Line) badge and go after BMW 6 Series and Maserati GranTurismo customers. While the base G sedan is expected to come with a mid-$30,000 price tag, you can expect the hybrid version to be priced near $55,000 and the V-8-powered Coupe to cost around $70,000. There is the slight possibility that Infiniti will decide to build a coupe version of the M sedan, and place the V-8 (or even a more powerful engine, perhaps the 6.2-liter AMG V-8) under its hood. But one Nissan insider says that the company’s priority is to bring glory back to the Skyline appellation (the G in Japan is called the Skyline) after it was dropped from the GT-R’s name with the R35. Look for the new G sedan and coupe to appear in 2013.

baby steps w/ the IPL models.... that was their intention...
the IPL's are actually on a good track of how they are getting sold more and more.....
and for the price of the IPL currently you're getting a lot for your money....
for an extra $10k + like a AMG or BMW M-type car that goes a long way in upgrades

The only thing I don't like is Nissan using Benz crap. You can say what you want but Benz has had a bad track record for reliability for more than a few years now. So why would Nissan start putting Benz enigines in their cars. Doesn't make since to me. Go from being reliable to not..................hummmmm.

That 3.5 benz motor makes 265 hp. Why would they downgrade from 330 to 265? I smell bull**** on that part. Nissan wont need help from merc to make engines. It should be vice versa, since nissan has a 350hp version of the vq37 in the nismo Z already.

I agree about the Benz 3.5 V6, but in the latest iteration its producing at least 300hp now. Still, thats well below the current output of 330hp.
If they use DI or another technology to boost the power/torque it would make sense, but seems difficult to do now. Looks like Benz used all their magic to finally push the V6 to the 300hp of its competitors, and still late to the game.
I would like to see the future Infiniti lineup go the route of BMW/Audi - base model gets turbo-4 and V6 option get FI help. When in Rome...
