I feel my Coupe's loaded with 3 other passengers when accelerating!!

This morning, I went to Cerritos Infiniti for oil change and audio system check (driver side's volume was barely coming out). As I pulled to the Service Dept, I saw this 07' G Sedan parked outside. I was like, "I thought the 07 G won't hit the dealorship until Nov". We've all seen the pictures of 07' G Sedan, so I wasn't too interested in checking out the car. However, a 45 minutes wait for oil change bored me out, so I went to the Sales dept, asking if I could check out the 07' G Sedan.

Sales person David came out, telling me he hadn't had a chance to check out the new G Sedan either. I just wanted to see how the interior looked in person, but David was too cool to offer me a test drive.

I could definitely feel the extra HP in the new G Sedan from the passenger seat. When it was my turn to take the wheel, oh my, the power was more instant and consistent, and whenever I stepped on the gas, I felt my body was pulled against the seat. Engine now can rev up to 7.5k RPM, and the engine sound is a bit deeper tone. The paddle shifting was really nice too, making it real convenient to downshift when I drove with my left hand only. Suspension wise I felt it was more stiff than the current Sedan.

What's cool about the car, and what I didn't see in the pictures is that now the lumber is adjustable on both thigh area and back area. You can even pull the center piece of the seat forward for a more comfortable driving position. The steering wheel is smaller and more "firm" than my Coupe.

Overall, I see a lot of ressemblance to Bimmer on the new G Sedan, except the interior is much nicer than the plastic ugly dash of bimmer's. I asked about the pricing but David told me Infiniti hasn't released any info on that. He did mention that the new G Coupe might hit the showroom next April-May, though (not sure if he knows what he was talking about).

OH yeah, it was the G Sedan S (Sports) that I test-drove. Just want to share my experience with you all.

 

sounds good..im definitely gonna be keeping an eye out for them at the dealerships around me..i wanna test drive one as soon as possible

 

Nissan will use up all of the parts they have for the coupe. When those are gone, the new coupe will come out. At least that is the talk.

 

The timing of new model releases are based on design, tooling and marketing considerations, not the supply of old parts.
Car manufacturers don't have warehouses with years worth of parts in them - parts are manufactured and delivered "just in time" to be used on the line.

 

I want the VQ35HR engine in my Coupe!!!!

 

Go buy the 07 Z if you want a VQ35HR in a coupe

 

Oook time for service at Cerritos! haha

 

does that mean those '07 sedans will be our new loaners????!!?!?

 

Hate to disagree on the warehouse of parts, but the big stuff like engines, trans, etc. is stored. Know that because GM has lots of new Vette engines stored near where I live. Nissan knows exactly when the last model will be produced but obviously isn't going to say.

 

I never said that there were no warehoused parts or sub-assemblies, just that there weren't years or even months worth of inventory in a JIT manufacturing environment.

I'm guessing that most of GM's storage issues are with unsold vehicles, not production parts.

 

I really hope so

 

Okay, you're talking about GM so you loose all credibility. Tons of parts are always warehoused for cars currently on the market, and even after the car has been taken off the market, which are used as replacement parts. I don't think this is what you were trying to argue, so this point is completely out of the scope of the debate. Evidence from U.S. car companies should not be used in a debate of foreign cars.

 

It's coming in the '08's........and should be good....maybe with even more hp.

Thanks for the headsup, ensheep.....sounds like quite a ride....Apparantly dealers are getting the Sedans in early to show them off to potential customers.....got my invite today to see the '07 Oct. 25.
