Infiniti has nothing to worry about..this was mentioned months ago. The lexus is on a different targeting manuever. Its aimed at hitting the BMW and knocking them off the top. The current G models were put into design before Lexus made knowledge of their new concept. Sure it looks good, but Nissan has the GT-R on the line up.

I don't think Infiniti will be all that worried...
"...Combined with a paddle-shifted version of Lexus' new eight speed automatic transmission, the 400+ horsepower IS 500 is expected to have a zero-to-60 time under five seconds along with a top speed of 155mph..."
That doesn't sound too impressive to me considering that the car will most likely cost way more then the new GT-R. I've seen this a while back on Motor Trend I believe, with the same assumption on the power plant. Of couse, I'll reserve judgemnt until the new G Coupe will come out.
