I think the coupe should have a slight edge on the Sedan. Let's vote and maybe Nissan will hear what the peeps want...

Nissan didnt change the G37 sport bumper from all the whining, so I doubt they will pay any attention to this poll.

Either way, im sure Nissan will do whatever it already has planned. If they have planned a G37 Sedan, im sure we will hear about it soon.

I think it would only make sense to make a G37 Sedan; BMW obviously did not leave the 335 exclusively for the coupe... so why should Infiniti?

I think its only a matter of time.

I thought they already said G37 Coupe for 2007/8 and the Sedan to follow the following year.

I don't expect to change Nissan's mind, I would just like to see where people's thoughts are...

If they don't put the new engine in the sedan at some point or do some sort of change then they are going to lose their market share in the sedan arena. Then guess what happens - their sales drop and then the problems come. I don't get what the hell all the coupe bigots think they should have a different engine. Every other car that the G competes with has a sedan that you can have the same as the coupe version. Infiniti is beyond stupid if they don't stay with that.

335i Coupe/Sedan. 335xi Coupe/Sedan.

I believe you are on to something. I expect to see not only the 3.7 liter in the sedan at some point but also AWD for the coupe. While that's a whole different topic, I believe it's just a matter of time.

Nissan has not said a word, yet, regarding a G37 Sedan.

I'd love a 3.7 sedan, but I think that they should keep a slight difference in the engine between the sedan and coupe, to give the coupe a more sportier edge other than the looks.

Have you noticed the difference between the old infiniti commercials and the new ones? They used to say in the end, "The G35."

They're doing the same thing except now they say "The G." There is a reason for that. I believe they want to promote the model and style, and get away from the number...representational of the liter (3.5 = 35), especially since they are going to put the 3.7 liter in eventually.

Of course...this could all be wishful thinking...but they are not dummies when it comes to marketing.

Why wouldn't you want both to have similar engines? Wouldn't this be better for after market parts?

I know they are saying this right now but I think that is a problem that could be fixed and I'm guessing WILL be fixed. Not for '08 but for '09 and after.

lol, i think someone is scared of a little competition from a sedan that has the same engine and is a tad bit lighter... just couldnt stomach losing to one could you???

It would be stupid for Nissan to have two different production engines in the same car that are so close to eachother, it's more cost effective to just use the same one. if it were a 2.7 and a 3.7 then it would be smart, but to have a 3.5 and 3.7 is dumb.
