Non-believers, take a look at these shots (not the ones in edmunds or automag)

I am very disappointed...well i wasn't going to get one anyway so at least i wont have to envy it when it comes out. But still that thing is messed up in the front and rear. I really thought it was going to be great.

No offense but these glossy shots make a civic look like an exotic. The street shots are the perfect reference for comparison not the almost CG looking glossy shots.

It looks like ****!!!
I like the engine but not feeling the final product. Wish they would have stuck with a closer design to the concept. Maybe some aftermarket body kits my change it's look.
S5 here I come.

Look at the seat belt support which appears to be attached to the seat. Do I see an improved seat belt pass through? But still the exterior is sanded down to a girly version.

Disappointed as well. I prefer the look of my '03 to this new one...

It's gonna need aero and a drop JUST to look presentable.

This is only one man's opinion though.Just be content in knowing your car is better looking, but that the new coupe has a superior interior and could smoke a modded first generation coupe.
In an 0/60 run with a 5K+RPM launch, the G37 will be faster. With a rolling start, the G37 will only be marginally faster. HP is sexy and sells cars and Infiniti knows this, but if you want a fast car on the street, you better have torque. GM knows this fact and the C6 Vette has 400HP, but you want to venture a guess on its torque? If you answered 400 lb/ft, you are right, and yes the C6 is quick from 0/60 and just as fast from 5/60. The G37 will have a decent 0/60, but find a magazine that provides a 5/60 time and I guarantee you that you will find a significant drop in time.
As far as the 335 going into limp mode after several runs, that's hardly news. Anyone that has ever owned a turbochaarged car realizes that the engine's enemy is heat. All turbocharged cars will have a significant drop off in power after several hard runs, but manufacturers don't care since these conditions are rarely encountered on the street.

The initial reviews are extremely positive. Both have already said they liked it better than the 335 around the track which no way would have happened with the 1st gen. The interior is a huge leap forward compared to my 04. Tecnology will be a huge leap forward. Much better steering was mentioned as well. As much as I loved my 04 coupe, all it has over this model is potentially the front end. Nothing else I can think about.
They both also liked the styling so I'll reserve judgement until I see it in person. Besides the front the car looks very similar to the 1st gen.
The biggest let down is weight for me.

I guarantee the new coupe will be faster, and probably handle a little better as well.....330hp is a pretty good jump, and the torque is in a pretty respective range.....but you need all the facets of the car to come together to make it a knock out........
Wow.....I'm a little let down.. 8( The car doesn't look proportionate anymore.
The front end looks sooooo wide and heavy....It looks like they took the front end off the New sedan and stuck it on the current coupe body.....
Is this really the new body? Or are they testing the car with a mock front end......The front bumper reminds me of a RX8
I don't think the 03-07's will be losing too much interest if thats all they have to offer looks wise......
maybe it will grow on me, but for now......I think I would consider another car first.....
