I smell boost!

 

^^ no boost yet. Main G's will still have Nissan engines. The entr level g25 is what will share the mercedes engine. Also the M35h hybrid will be making its way into the g. The coupe will be 1 year behind the sedan for the change, so not a few years. The new G Sedan looks really..really nice

 

I wonder if the the main (non-entry and non-hybrid) G sedan will have the VQ37VHR engine or the new V6 they're working on.

Also, will they still offer manual transmission on the sedan?

 

The Mercedes engine will be boosted though

 

ah yes true, 2.0 turbo. lol yes 6mt will still be available

 

You've seen it?! They need to boost it, nissan is so good with their boosted motors!

 

Yeah, you've seen it!!!???

I wonder if my wife will end up with a "hand me down" 2011 LE

 

It's supposed to look a lot like their Essence concept.

 

Looks aside, what about drivetrain? Do you know whether there is a new engine to replace the 3.7? A new transmission to replace the current 7AT? I doubt it for either. I smell a new body with the same drivetrain like they did with the current gen car in 2007 and then upgrade the drivetrain a couple of years later when sales have dropped off.

I can only say I would not buy the same drivetrain again no matter how great the looks of the new car. I will also never buy another new Infiniti without testing a reasonably well used one of the identical model to see if it's a snap, crackle and pop-fest like the current one. Mine was quiet for about 5K only.

 

I noticed on every post from you, you always claiming BMW superior than the G, I guess you either owned a Bimmer stock or you sell bimmers ,

are't ya?

 

I also very much doubt they will have a new drivetrain ready for the 2014 model year... Not sure why you dislike the VQ37VHR so much, though. Also, it does seem like the 2012 7AT is fine, and the issues were fixed - I haven't seen any complaints from 2012 owners...

 

Will the 2.0t come with manual too? I wonder how much power difference there will be, but then again a brand new nissan engine would serve better.

 

if my infiniti dealership weren't such douche bags i would consider buying the new gen G. Most bull S*** ever, Hawaii only has one infiniti dealership.

 

My sentiments as well. I had my car in yesterday for a bad speaker. Dropped off at 8am. No call from them about status, so I called about 3pm to see what's up. "oh we found the speaker is bad" Ok so can I pick it up? I am in a hurry to pick it up as I have something to do this afternoon. " OK let me check to see if it is ready and I will call you right back" 20 mins later no call. So there you go, lousy service.

 

It's obviously a typo. The G is a 3 series competitor. The M is the 5 Series competitor.
