Sad day for the G-sedan Family

Hello G-sedan members,

Came across this on Infiniti's website. It's official, the G sedan has finally stopped production. It's been one heck of a production run for our V36s.

May another great legend live on!



Good Bye G sedan T_T

Say it ain't so... Drinks up for the G sedan series. If this is true it's a sad day.

Emotionally speaking, this day happened at the end of the 2013 model year, when Infiniti decided they no longer cared about 6MT customers.

Still... end of an era.

Could not agree more which is why when I had the chance to pick up the last year I jumped at it. And I'll be devastated if something ever happens to it.

Granted that the comparison between a G37/Q40 and a Q50 is "supposed" to be based the same...it is not.

From my experience from owning both, to me they are different animals and only share the same platform and engine (2014 & 2015).

I wouldn't care this much because I already own a very nice G sedan and it's a truly classic!

At least I'll never see a newer version of the G and wish I had that version. Very thin silver lining. And Rochester hit it on the nose (as always) once infiniti did away with the 6mt, that was it...

It could have been. However, by dropping the Sport Package, rebranding the G as the Q40, and selling them side-by-side for two years, it kind of shuts down that theory.

Stupid Q naming structure. Good riddance to Johan de Nysschen, and thanks for nothing.

The G37S--especially the 6mt--is going to be looked back on as the high point of the Japanese sport sedan.

In most every way that matters, they're very similar. If anything, the Q50S is somewhat a softer ride, and handles like pooh unless you put the car into "sport mode", after which it drives quite well. Also, your left foot cramps up after a while from neglect. Certainly a more luxurious interior, though... if that's your thing.

Another thing it's got going for it is the AWD Sport is a more worthy car out of the box than the G37xS.
