Interior to be Close to Concept??
Autospies blog entry
I'm glad to hear that the production interior will be close to the concept's. That interior was b!tchin'. I guess we'll have to wait and see just how close they come. 
After writing to Nissan/Infiniti, I eventually came in correspondence with Nissan VP of Global Communications Simon Sproule. I really liked the Infiniti EX concept and wrote to him telling him what should be done for the EX to be a hit. He gave me a bit of early news on the EX. Here is an excerpt of the correspondence:
Dear VP Simon Sproule:
In months to come, I may be looking for a mini SUV such as the
all new exciting Infiniti EX concept!
I really liked the look of the new EX concept at the New York auto show
and might consider one. I passed on the Acura RDX because it doesn't
offer power seats for the front passenger.
Please take note of these suggestions for the new EX:
---I realize that features such as the transparent glass roof will
not likely make production, but PLEASE DO NOT TONE DOWN THE INTERIOR
QUALITY OF THE EX CONCEPT for the production model. The interior design
and quality appearance of the EX concept is totally AMAZING. I will
probably put a deposit in for one if I am assured the production
quality
will be the same as the concept's.
---Critics have always said Nissan/Infiniti always shows great
concepts but that they are always toned down for the production model.
You have not disappointed us with the all new G35, the new G37 and the
new GT-R seems to be the return of 'Godzilla'.
Please DO NOT DISAPPOINT US FANS WITH THE NEW EX CONCEPT!!
---make sure the Around View Monitor and Ambient headrest
illumination make production. I am very, very excited about these
features.
Sincerely,
David

Dear David,
Nice to hear from you. regarding the EX. I don't know all the details of final production
but it will have the around view monitor and I am told that the
interior
of the concept is very close to the production car. We have NOT told
the
media yet, but the production car will be shown at a special event in
August this year - so if you can wait, send me a note in a couple of
months and I can get you some details and pictures.
Thanks again for the note - glad to hear that Infiniti is still
attracting you!
Best regards
Simon Sproule

^^ Yes... but with the recent releases of the 07 sedan and the G37, it just seems that putting out something SO different would not be probable.
I hope I'm wrong, because that EX concept interior is spectacular... and we'll be looking for something to replace our M soon (end of this year).
