well thats interesting... iguess Nissan gave up on trying to push the Infiniti brand domestically...kinda looks like the new altima now...cue the forthcoming flood of JDM yo front bumper conversions i guess lol
it looks very altima like. If they were trying to go GT-R inspired they should have made that V thing much smaller like the one on the GT-R.
The ONLY cool part about this refresh is they brought the skyline tails back
makes me wonder if there is going to be a new reveal of the next GTR and it will have the giant V like this G50 and the Altima so they're just looking at the future design language...but more than likely its just some marketing BS and they don't want to say that their luxury car looks more like their regular line of cars now
I noticed the tails too but wan t sure if it was on this years model too...definitely not...I haven't been a fan of the q50 tails but these are real nice

I bet you my entire retirement savings it will have Nissan's stupid "floating roof" design.
Yikes hopefully the floating roof dies a fast death... not a fan of the Altima-like grill. Perhaps it’d look better if it were blacked out. I love my G coupe and it’s styling, I also really like my Q50. Not a fan of this new look though. I am interested in what they’re doing with the hybrid they mention, specifically what engine they’re using. They were using the 3.5 which combined for 360hp and I love the instant torque. Always thought the VR coupled with electric motors would yield awesome potential. Infiniti and Renault started to show this with Project Black S. Done right you get looks, power, and good mpg.
Who is even going to buy this? People in Japan don't even drive on highways enough to need autonomous driving. There's a reason every japanese import has <100,000km.
Test drive one lately? Steering feels like that of a mid 80's gm car. No feel and you can steer it with 1 finger.
I don't know about a mid 80's GM --- it'll at least drive in a straight line. You're not wrong about the lack of feedback and steering with 1 finger though. I love the driving experience of the G way more than the Q, with the exception of family road trips... just did 450 miles today, it was comfortable, roomy, and the nannies are useful on the long boring stretches as it'll basically drive itself, and the 34.5mpg isn't bad considering I spent probably 2 hours in traffic throughout the trip. Its also nice to be able to roast the occasional Mustang with my daughter playing with her kindle in the back seat, my wife reading a book, and our Yorkie watching out the window...
My 6MT Sedan will be the last Infiniti that I ever own. I haven't changed, it was the brand. The brand left me years ago.
Maybe Nissan's next Z car will pique my interest, but their luxury brand does nothing for me anymore.
With the death of the QX70 (wife was interested to replace her Mazda CX5) and no manual in the sedans, I'm in the same boat. Z-car? Genesis G80? Not in love with the looks. Bend over and take whatever the future successor of a 335Xi is? :shrug:
Maybe I can keep the G going until my kiddo is driving herself, and then get a Miata hardtop or BRZ.
