high Performance G in the future?

This caliber of car has a near perfect 50/50 balance between performance and everyday livability, which I feel the G35 already has so that's a great foundation to build upon. All I'm saying is that Nissan has no product that can currently compete in the $50,000+ Luxo-Sport car and that their best option would be a G. 350Zs are seen as more of a younger buyer's vehicle and would not get any respect next to the luxurious, spacious cars in the segment.
Also - to all the comments about Infiniti being strictly luxury and not supposed to have a performance car, what are you talking about! If Lexus can pull off a car like the superfluous looking IS-F successfully, than Infiniti should be next in the gate. Infiniti's formula is based on a mix between performance driving with comfort, or else they're smallest engine wouldn't be a 3.5 V6 pumping out 300+ horses! That's between 70 and 106 more than the typically more expensive base competitors, so there's no doubt Infiniti is about performance driving!!!

What makes no sense is that your twisting my words...I never said Infiniti wasn't built for the performance crowd, I said they are more luxury than performance...The BMW 330i is not a performance sedan, The M5 is a performance sedan...you people act like the 330i is a fvcking rocket ship...well it's not and neither is the G

I don't have to twist them. You are doing that on your own. Since when does raw hp define a performance sedan?? At the time, the BMW 330i defined the performance sedan segment. And the new 335i has more power than some of the older m5 sedans you so highly speak of.

...your right I'm wrong keep arguing about 2003 enjoy the pastNo problem. Not sure about your logic though. If Infiniti built a performance sedan IN THE PAST AKA 2003, not sure why they wouldn't do it now.
That would lead me to believe a HIGHER performance version might in the works if the market share could justify it. Just like the market justified the infinti G35 in it's initial introduction.

Well how do you argue that? 
Jeff, why are you continuing?... The guy clearly indicated that the he doesn't want to squabble with you anymore... yet you continue to harass... You've done it to me too... why are you so often intent on fighting with people? > It’s a rhetorical question so no need to post an answer...
Just drop it - okay.
Just drop it - okay.

Here's my rhetorical reply. Perhaps you should be addressing him and not me?
