Any idea when we'll see the first images of the 2011 G Coupe with all the fixins....?

 

I'm surprised they are bringing back the scratch shield paint.

 

Wonder what the 2 new additions to the G line will be - perhaps the G25 sedan and a performance IPL version of the G coupe/vert?

 

I hope it's a new formula. I can't wait to get mine! If all goes well, February is my goal.

 

i thought the Gs were to get DI engines mid-cycle. at least that's what was reported in Motor Trend (or maybe it was C&D).

in any event, i would love to have the sport package on my x coupe. i wonder if it's superficial enhancements like with the sedan...?

 

How do you figure the enhancements on the sedan to be superficial? Sport package has the following:

Split 5-spoke, 18 x 7.5-inch aluminum-alloy wheels with 225/50R18 W-rated summer performance tires (front), and 18 x 8.5-inch 245/45R18 W-rated summer performance tires (rear)
Sport-tuned suspension
Viscous Limited-Slip Differential (VLSD)
Sport brakes with 4-piston opposed front calipers with 14-inch rotors and 2-piston opposed rear calipers with 13.8-inch rotors
Sport front fascia, side sills and unique headlights
Solid-magnesium paddle shifters
10-way power driver's sport seat with manual thigh extension and driver's power torso and thigh support adjustment; 8-way power front-passenger's sport seat
Unique sport stitching on front seats and steering wheel
Aluminum pedals and footrest

That to me equates to a major difference between base/journey and the sport...or are you refering to the X Sedan??

 

sport package on the x drive models are purely superficial.. you dont get the brakes, wheels or suspension.

 

you do get the bigger wheels on the AWD sport packages. it's the paddle shifters/front bumper/side sills/seats/aluminum pedals/stitching

 

so whats the difference between malbec black and obsidian? I looked on the M sedan configurator which has the malbec black but could not tell a huge difference. Is one darker or more polished looking than the other?

edit found this post https://www.myg37.com/forums/the-m-s...or-thread.html

malbec looks more like dark purple

 

My lease is up ib 2012...i wonder whatll be in the works then....... Maybe a nice twin turbo direct injected beast hahaa

 

Great to know.

 

this is malbec black
black w/ speckles of black cherry on it

luxurious look. it won't be available for a while on the 2011 G.... you'll see what i mean

 

That Malbec Black should be nice... Especially if it is really dark colored like
the black wine they're associating with this color... Hard to tell from the pic

 

I still don’t understand why Nissan virtually skipped 2010 for the M and put a “2011” on sale this year. Now for real model year 2011 they’re perhaps embarrassed to “announce” a 2011 car that’s already being sold.

My brother’s new M37, called a 2011 model of course, was made in February 2010. I hate that sort of thing.

 

I wonder what they will do in Japan...
No news so far.
