Redesigned 2014 Infiniti G37 Confirmed for Spring 2013 Launch
I found this on the Edmunds Inside Line.

It will be interesting to see what engine options are available for the 2014 G.

But it's all conjecture.
The picture you see is a "test mule" meaning it's a current production body, with future components under the hood. No one really knows except for Nissan.

The article isn't really adding anything we don't know, it's just Inside Line re-stating the obvious in attempt to stir the pot.

Just the Facts:
•A redesigned Infiniti G37 will arrive in the spring of 2013.
•It will likely use engines built in partnership with Mercedes.
•Both turbocharged and hybrid drivetrains are possible.
SANTA MONICA, California — A high-level Nissan executive confirmed to Inside Line that the next-generation G37 will arrive in the spring of 2013. During discussions of various Infiniti products, Andy Palmer, executive vice president of Nissan and Infiniti's Global Business Unit, said "the new G will arrive a year from now."
Palmer did not provide any further details on the specific redesign, but he did note that Nissan's new engine building partnership with Mercedes-Benz was quickly getting up to speed. The initial plan is to build four-cylinder engines for the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, but don't be surprised to see that same engine reconfigured for use in a base model G in place of the current small-displacement V6.
Although Palmer made no mention of it, the next-generation G37 may also get a hybrid drivetrain. Infiniti already offers a hybrid setup in its midsize M35h, so the next G could easily adopt the same V6/electric motor system with high-performance results.
When asked about whether Nissan is looking into turbocharging its V6 engines, Palmer noted that "everybody is looking to deliver V8 power with V6 efficiency, so turbocharging often makes sense."
