I was on my home yesterday, and there's a guy that lives by my house who always has the newest Nissan and Infiniti cars in his driveway. I always figured he owns a dealership or something, as the cars always change, and the cars always have dealer plates on them. Anyways ... I was driving by (in my brand new 2007 G35 sport w/ Nav + Tech - which finally arrived 2 weeks ago), and I see in his driveway ...

THE 2008 G37 COUPE! I live in Toronto, Canada by the way.

I slammed on the brakes ... parked in front of house to take a look at it in person. I finally said to myself - gotta knock on his door. So I do. I introduced myself, came out and asked him - "How the hell do you have a G37sitting on your drive way? I thought they weren't being released until June?".

He told me he works for Corporate Planning for Infiniti, and that he always gets the new cars before they are released. Anyways ... we got to talking about the 2007 G35 and the G37, and he said that the power difference between the two are barley noticable. He also went on to tell me that the 3.7 litre engine will never make it into the sedan as it WON'T FIT. The engine is too big. That should answer everyone's question as to why Infiniti decided to go w/ a 3.5 for the sedan and a 3.7 for the coupe.

He also told me that he should have the GTR on his driveway in the not too far future. I asked him if he knew about pricing. He said its too early to tell, but he said around $80k Canadian (about $71K US).

Just so no one thinks I'm full of shiat, I took some pics - I didn't have a camera (other than my piece of sh*t blackberry camera). Here are the pics I took.

 

That's crazy. I need to get a job at Infiniti! I wonder how many of these are floating around. Are they full production models ya think?

 

I asked him the same question - he said this is the FINAL - REAL DEAL. No more changes ...

 

Can you tell me in technical terms how the 3.7VQ can fit into the coupe but not in the sedan when they both share the Nissan FM platforms?

 

You're asking me??? Am I an engineer??? I'm just telling you what he told me ...

 

Amazing info! What color is that G? Anything noticeable? 18in rims?

 

I apologize. I didn't know who I was dealing with. Please proceed with the rumor mill.

 

Well - the fact that this guy does have a G37 on his driveway (2 months before release) I think gives him SOME credibility? Wouldn't you agree?

 

The car is platinum graphite - same colour as the sedan. I didn't look at the rims in detail, but they appeared larger (this was the sport model). They looked like 19 or even 20" ers.

 

Hey man, if not for the pictures, I would call BS too, but you have to admit, this source went up 100 levels in my book.


He has a G37 Coupe in his DRIVEWAY

 

thanks for the info and thanks for putting the pictures man.... i wish i had your neighbor!!
im quite impressed with the 07 sedan as it is. that extra 6 hp is definitely a great addition.
can you ask him a question tho... why does the 07 sedan's RPM go to 4k when ur doing 80 mph?!!!

 

The pics look like it's a sedan.

 

yea mad props for the info...however a 3.5 liter vqhr and a 3.7 liter vqhr should relatively be the same size motor... that .2 displacement doesnt make it any bigger it just has bigger rods etc

 

Are you blind, man??

1 door on either side.

 

for some reason, this g37 feels like it lost the gotta-have-it factor. Whatever happened to the concept look&feel?
