but isnt that because the change in HP rating system? I'm not sure can someone clarify? but anywho if it isnt then its still cool, 5 hp less is not a big transition. Atleast i got orange stitch trimmings on my steering wheel.

Finally! however it's somewhat disappointing... i expected it to be turboed and the rear is a little weird imo. Now that the official pics of G37 is out and everything is confirmed i'm pretty sure i would go for the 335i coupe instead.

PS. i reli learned alot in this awesome forum GOODLUCK GUYS!!

Enjoy the ultimate limping machine (see Edmunds article).

The new G still looks better than the Bimmer too.

Although i still think the fron is too bubbly I will save all my thoughts till after I see it in person.
Couldn't agree more. The people complaining about the looks are first gen coupe owners (always animosity between generations) and people who have never seen the car in person (all of us). I thought the e92 was ugly as sin until I saw one in person, slapped myself in the face, and realized it was gorgeous.

I'm sure the new G will look great in person. I just think a lot of us were expecting something that looks a little more aggressive and less Lexus-like, and with less of an Altima Coupe-like front end.

I'd never imagined the day that the G coupe of all cars would be called "fugly", but I think you're right.....

Actually I see a lot of the concept in this shot right here:



Overall it is a nice combination of the current gen with the concept.

Well, according to Edmunds, it drives better than the 335i, no small achievment. Better driving dynamics coupled with a better interior and much cheaper price, looks like a big winner.

Note: I love the Infiniti name etched into the brake calipers. Random, but I really like it.

Pictures hardly do any car justice and I learned log ago to not make decisions on the looks of a car after the first look.

One of my favorite looking cars of all time, I absolutely hated the first time I saw it.

It is different, but I am not ready to say if I like it or not.

More pics on leftlane today.

I THINK ITS NOT THAT GOOD LOOKING, I LIKE THE CURRENT MODEL BETTER, LIKE I SAID A LITTLE WHILE AGO, THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO THAT WOULD MAKE IT LOOK BETTER, AL THEY COULD DO IS HURT THE LOOK. AND THE EVIDENCE IS THERE. NOT FEELING IT!

I like my 1st gen more. Maybe I'm partial but, I like the bulkyness of mines. Who knows, maybe in person it will win my heart, like many cars out there do.
