Spotted a wild GS-F, side-by-side with my G

Saw my first new GS-F out in public not at a dealer and man I wish Infiniti would have something to keep it. I love my G and feel it has a somewhat aggressive look to it normally. Parked next to the GS-F I felt like I drove an Altima

They look pretty damn good imo even though they could use more power for the price.

That being said it is a $10,000 car parked next to a $90,000 car lol.

I actually prefer the conservative styling of your G better, those exhaust tips on the GS-F look horrid. Nice pics!

Not to mention those ghastly Lexus grills.

It's your wheels, and the old front end design of the '07-09 Sedan.

Other than that, I also prefer the Infiniti over that pimped out Lexus.

I can't stand those Lexus grills. Looks like someone got their bottom jaw ripped off.

I can't imagine a worse way to waste $90k.


The rear end looks like a riced out Corolla and the front end is hideous and incomplete.


Underpowered and overpriced.

Well sure if my wheels were bigger and It had a more aggressive front end it would look meaner, but I am working with what I have and that isn't 4k for a new front end and tires and wheels haha!

The thing the G is missing that can't easily be replicated to give it the looks of a true sport/super sedan like an RS4, ATS-V, M3, IS-F, Q50 Eau Rouge etc is in three places.

The width and flared fenders to accommodate the wider more aggressive tires and wheels, low roofline height, and an aggressive muscular hood/grille combo. The Q50s is actually a step in the right direction but not enough and needs a better rear end IMO.

The G has a height of 57.2 and a width of 69.8 which gives it a height to width ratio of 82% which is getting close to making it a square shape, now here is the other ratios:
- Q50S: H-56.8 W-71.8 79%
- ATS-V: H-55.7 W-71.3 78%
- IS-F: H-55.7 W-71.5 77%
- (15)CTS-V: H-56.0 W-74.175%
-RS-4: H-55.7 W-76.1 73%
- (16) M3: H-56.3 W-80.2 70%
- GS-F: H-56.1 W- 82.1 68%

That's an optimistic number.

Still, I bet four Nismo Z fronts would be a welcome change. There's a car in current comments somewhere with that configuration. Fitment looks great, no spacers.

As for your front end... that little black lip actually looks pretty good. And if you darken the headlights a little, maybe. It's a darn shame you can't get rid of that pinstripe without repainting.

Just door the guy and move on.


kidding.
I personally like the Lexus grille. But that's me.
Look for a more sporty front bumper & get an aggro set of wheels, drop your car to close the wheel gap, and if you're feeling flush, get your inner headlight shrouds painted black.

You do that and that Lexus won't have a thing on you in looks.

People like you are the reason I love Emojis so much. Hahaha!

And 6 inch smaller diameter. And not chrome. and on a different car.

Bingo. You would have to pay me to drive that monstrosity. A lot, too. I'm thinking, if you gave me $1000 a month, I'd sign a 6-month contract to use this POS as my daily driver. But that's only because I really don't drive much.

Not to mention that 50% of the Lexus exhaust ports are fake.
