Lets take a step back and consider the G37 sedan.
BUYER BEWARE ABOUT G37.
I have done a lot of looking into the G37, and yes, the G35 will be replaced with the G37, It might not be until the 4th model year. Keep your eyes on Detroit this weekend, if it is for 09 they should unvale details then.
However, The G37 is like could be like that hot sister of that old ex that you always wanted to indulge in. Nice T&A, and much more exciting ride. And Big Truble before you realize what you got youself into.
Everyone is stoaked to see a g37 sedan. And I am not bashing it. However a lot of things have gone through the window with the new engine.
This engine displacement has not changed since the VQ became a 3.5 in 2002. This engine is not proven yet, and still hasen't won wards ten best engines,(yet). THe engine is too new for people to have a great grasp on it. It emproves varible valve lift, witch is some new technology that is going to be steller. However, The current VQ 3.5 undergone major refinment improvments and is going to be a historical engine in coming years.
All the have done to the 3.7 is increase the leagnth of the stroke, increasing the car desplacement by .2 liters. Yeah you are going to get 24 extra ponies, but take notice you are not getting any more touqe. You need bigger bore, not stroke for torque. Thus the car is not going to do that much more in acceleration, certainly not enough, for someone to say "WOW THIS THING WAY FASTER" However it will use more fuel,
And as far a proformance goes, how much more do we really need. The G35 does 100 mph with ease, It has the same acceleration as a 1999 proche 911.
If you really crazy about having power. You before getting a proven renowned engine. Which is already setup for some crazy tuning, Such as super chargers and turbos. Which will take a while for the G37. And anyone with an 09 g37 sedan is going to be the lab rats to see what these cars are like.
Now, if you going to wait for the G37. you might as well wait until the 2011 redesign. Cause once your g37 is two years old it will be out of date. ANd the redesign will have more touqe, and thus a much more noticable change in profromance. You buy an 09 g37, you buying a 3 year old platform, with styling that will slowing start to be going stale.

The VQ37HR was named Ward's 10 best last December. 14th year in a row for the VQ.

Infiniti will be putting the 3.7 Liter motor in the saden a couple of years before they do the redesign for a new G sedan estimate for 2011 model year, 2 years after the new 350Z. They will also freshen the car by changing some moldings, don't be surprised if they incorprate the coupe headlights and rear steering to the seden before the redesign . But the frame, suspension, and interior will stay the same until the redesign in 2011. The fit and finish on the second gen G is far behind the BMW 3 seriers, and infiniti will be stepping up the G, along with slow price increases.

Nice write up non the less. I dont really think its a big deal to anyone if its a 35 or 37 at this stage in the game seeing as tho the power increase isnt that much and performance difference is minimal.
IMO I like the sound of 35 as oposed to 37 lol
But then again i like the sound of 63 as oposed to 55

You have a point about performance, but the G37 coupe's MPG has improved to 18mpg/ 24mpg per this... http://www.infiniti.com/g_coupe/specifications.html

Stating them as fact (second sentence above) is not.
If you said "I believe that Infiniti may be putting the 3.7 Liter motor in the sedan..." you might get a warmer response.

However my infomation is bang on about what is infiniti will be doing in the future. the only I can't confirm 100% is the release year for a new redesigned thrid gen G sedan. I BELIEVE it may and should be 2011. But Infiniti might try to push this back to 2012. But the G37 sedan is coming soon. What I would have liked to see personally is that infiniti keeps the 3.5L but employ the VVEL technology from the G37.

Infiniti has made no mention of a possible G37 sedan release.
C&D claims a G37 release will happen in 2009, but they are notorious for making sh*t up when they have no real news to print.
Either quote a credible source, or stop spreading baseless rumors.

The stroke is determined by the distance from the axis of the crankshaft to the crank pin, where the connecting rod is. With a longer stroke, the crank pin is farther away from the axis. Imagine the engine at 90 degrees (rotation of the crankshaft) after combustion, when the crank pin is directly to the side of the axis. With the piston coming down, the farther away the the crank pin is from the axis of the crankshaft, the more torque is being transmitted to the crankshaft.
It's no different from having a longer crank arm on a bicycle.
