i see nothing wrong just like when the 03 came out back then. it's the new vq with the paddle shifters seems real fun to drive.

I agree with your opinion partially, but believe me, I more than anyone on here was looking forward to a really distinctive model change, not to make the car seem like every other Infiniti model in its line up.

It's more like the new design has lost its personality rather than being less attractive....

I personally like the old design better, i think the 06-07 with the sport bumper is light years ahead of the rx8 styling on the G37.

We are all entitled to our own opinions, but please don't lump us all in a pile of haters....thats really not the case. After all, its pretty much subjective when comparing one car to another anyway.
Thanks for the rant.......

I got really spoiled with the pics of the sleek looking concept, but looking at these new pics I'm not really feeling the lines of the G37. I definetly expected something more unique and edgy. I'm lovin my 06 MT that much more now, but who knows the G37 may just grow on me after seeing it in person.

That's usually true but in this case there is no getting around it, the car is just awful looking. I don't care if it has 600HP and bakes me muffins when I get in the car, it looks like someone hit Grimace with the ugly stick.

Interior is still no great feat.

All in all it jsut kind of looks weird to me--like someone took the original and contorted it in weird ways. The spoiler is reminding me of the Eclipse -- yikes!
Interior "no great feat" coming from a first generation owner? Give me a break, they aren't even comparable. The old interior was fair at best, where the new interior has excellent design and superior materials.

I find it hilarious how many people complain that it doesn't look like the concept when, other than the front bumper, this car looks almost exactly like the concept.

As far as the reactions go, I'm not surprised that a lot of people don't like it as much as the cars they have spent years developing an emotional attachment to, but I expect that will change this fall when the new owners start showing up with pics of their freshly Zaino'd Gs saying how happy they are.

I like it all around, the pictures that InfintiMichael put up, made me like it even more. My favorite upgrade is the 3.7 engine and 55 hp increase.
