if every car is marked up like this in hawaii then i say go for it. if the dealer is claiming this is a marked up because its an IPL, i dont know if it would be worth it. i bought mine because it was a sub $48k coupe with +300hp, for a little extra money you can pick up a lightly used M3 if they dont mark up the prices on every car.

 

Why buy a car before driving it, I don't get it

 

So the sticker on the IPL isn't 58k, that's just what is costs including tax and all? 53k is around what those would sticker for here too, give or take. My '12 G37S stickered for over 47k.

 

IMO thats not too bad for the ipl, at the dealer where I got my G a G coupe was going for almost that same amount...

 

I got my IPL about a month ago and I didn't pay sticker for it...some dealers are pretty negotiable if you put in work..plus they're trying to move cars and I feel like the IPL doesn't get as much attention on the lot as sedans and sport coupes..so if a serious buyer is looking at 1, I think they'll work with you to get you the price you're looking for..

 

here in the 808 state, they are stingy!! i negotiated for 2 days, & only got 700 discount. they just dont budge on the ipl.

 

where does the IPL get the 18 extra HP?

 

Infiniti own version of upgraded intakes & exhaust. You can do the same with a regular G37 with a Stillen Gen 3 CAI, test pipes & catback exhaust for those extra 18 or more HP.

 

I checked part numbers and the housing/inlet is the same. Or are you talking about the manifold?

Thx...

Reason I ask is so I can upgrade my intake to something designed by Nissan

 

18 HP comes from exhaust and tune:




Up until recently, Infiniti wasn't entirely sure what its brand was all about. But since its latest reboot, the brand has staked a claim as an unabashedly Japanese performance luxury automaker – in essence, the anti-Lexus.

Today, it's taking another step in that direction with the introduction of the Infiniti Performance Line and unveiling the first vehicle to wear the new badge: the IPL G Coupe. And anyone expecting an answer to BMW's M division or Mercedes' AMG line might be slightly disappointed.

Like most in-house component offerings, Infiniti is putting an emphasis on style, performance and OEM-level fit and finish, beginning with new front and rear fascias, side sills, rear spoiler and 19-inch seven-spoke graphite wheels. Matching the Graphite Shadow or Malbec Black exteriors are a new set of sport seats with thicker bolsters, manual thigh extenders (ala BMW), torso and thigh support adjustment, along with de rigueur contrasting red stitching.

Far more important is what's been done under the hood and at each wheel well. A new high-flow exhaust partners with a recalibrated ECU to raise output to 348 horsepower (at 7,400 rpm) and 276 pound-feet of torque (at 5,200 rpm), an increase of 18 hp and six pound feet over the standard G37. Channeling that additional grunt to the ground is a close ratio six-speed manual with a short-throw shifter (a seven-speed auto is available with paddles), a viscous-type limited slip differential and Bridgestone Potenza RE50A summer rubber sized 225/45 in front and 245/40 in the rear. A retuned suspension is also included, increasing spring rates by 20% in the front and 10% out back, along with slightly upgraded brakes.

Infiniti hasn't released an MSRP for the IPL G Coupe yet, but considering the performance components and litany of standard features, we're hoping the price premium isn't excessively high for what's essentially a glorified sport package. Get all the details in the press release after the jump.

 

IPL is a body kit, exhaust, wheels and a conservative tune for 6 grand. You can get the same things aftermarket for less $$$ but if you don't like or don't want to modify the car then just get ipl. Personally I think they could have done so much more with IPL. Right now it's a joke.
