But yeah the coupe is supposed to be the sportier one, so why not give it a bigger/more powerful engine.

Although I am no longer an Infiniti owner, (maybe in a year or so) I do believe this as true. Being that Infiniti likes to be first in its class, as they do compete with the IS250/350, BMW 3 Series, MB C-Class, etc. I have heard from the grapevine that BMW 3 Series will have a hard-top convert and my assumption is Nissan/Infiniti will want to get in on this deal to try to compete and be first in its class. Just my .2 cents. =D

Heard of the 3.7 rumor as well. Same with the 08 GTR, except TT for the GTR.
The 3.7 is nothing but a stroked 3.5.
There's a conversion kit now to stroke the 3.5 to a 3.8.
Doubt the removable top. The coupe is too big and the top would be to heavy to lift off easly, unlike the BMW Z3.

Well, let's just say I know (99% sure) that there will be a hard top vert coming. Don't ask me how, but it isn't just a rumor. Where I work, we need to know, if you know what I mean 
. However, I've been trying to find out about the engine, but no go on that one. If we don't know, no one knows outside of a select few. We have to be the first to know 
So yeah, there will be a hard top.

By the way the market is changing, the G needs to do something to stay ontop. The body style hasn't changed much since its revealing a few years ago. But the way BMW does it is that they change their body style alot every 7 years, so i am sure the G is due to it.

My job isn't sketchy...hehe. Just think about it? Who needs to know the details of a car (other then the engineers) that will be released soon? That'll give you an indication of my industry. Anywho, I would rather hear the details of the engine but that info isn't as important as the entire car iteself.
