Next Gen G35 Coupe
#26
The V8 engine and 20" rim option are rumored. The V8 is retuned existing I believe... not a all new engine.
The IS350 is already losing to the 330, even if the 330 is slower. When the G35 first came out, the car mags rated it over their beloved 330 (finally dethroned)... more car for the money... and good car too. This time around... Lexus and BMW are going to get SUCH an *** kicking. As far as this market goes... Toyota is dumb. This isn't a "Toyota" market. This is a "BMW" market... and apparantly Toyota can't figure out how to build one. Oh well... Nissan has and is going to out do themselves this time.
Man... I love the current G35 coupe and this... I want one.

Yeah, the more I look at it the better this car looks. I too like the rear lights better in the current G35...but that's about it, oh yeah I like the name G35 also...not G37 or G40 (while G40 sounds better).
How about they stick to the G35 name and stick a 3.5L V8 in there making 350HP...sweet! lol
This car, inside and out...looks great!

-the roof might or might not make it, since mercedes benz is having the panarama clear roof on their 08 models, its possible it might make production. id give it a 50/50 chance.
-the interior can easily make production, the current interior already has around the same amount of aluminum trims and accents and has similar quality materials. This new interior is just superior design wise making it look more sporty, so building it dosnt cost them much extra. theres nothing in this new interior thats super futuristic or super luxurious. Id say the production interior will be 90% close to this concept

The interior is much improved. I dont remember the shift **** set that way and the speed dials looks good with all that color. The clock has come down and the GPS doesn't jump up from the hood and is always visible. Its a much better interior and I really hope it makes it into production. The panoramic room will make the drivers seat one sweet place to be in.

lol 330ci and IS350 are not 40k, its 37k and 35k respectively. I can see them bumping the G coupe to 35k, but i doubt theyd price it at bmw's level. Since the Z is based on the skyline/G platform, we'll probably see a new Z concept this time next year.

wow, that's pretty nice looking.
330hp? ouch...my poor RX-8 is going to get picked on a lot. (oh well, who cares)
It would be really nice to see that version go into production.
Wanna know the BEST part of this?? There will be 10 of these thing for EVERY Rx-8 so it'll just make me love my car even more.

the way you phrase it, you didnt specify that, usually people talk about starting price. its actually still very easy to get sub 40k is350 though if you dont get the nav unit.

For those of y'all questioning Infiniti's 'materials', yes in the past their materials weren't up to par, but just take a look at the M35-45. Infiniti has really stepped it up a notch, in a big way.
