The Front looks like it already has a lip built in, and once dropped will look that much nicer.

The Rims are gorgeous, I saw a coupe driving the other day and I thought they were aftermarket rims until the car stopped moving. Those rims are nicer than a lot of aftermarket IMO.

The spoiler is whatever, I was never a fan of the original one, but I like this one better just because as some one stated...little more low profile.

Interior of the 05/06's makes the 03/04's look like absolute garbage. The materials used are a WORLD of improvement.

Once the critics see these in real life, I think a lot of people will change their tune.
And if not, you still got the original, so no sweat off your back.
I agree with your observations. The front bumper looks a little weird to me, but not bad enough to make me not buy the car, and maybe as you suggest it will look better in person.

I'm not feelin the intergrated lip, and deff not the rear wing, but I do love the headlights. I just put the 05 wheels on my 04 so obviously IMO they are cool. Overall wouldn't say ruined it but I'll deff be keeping my 04

Good points MikeyMike. I was thinking of selling/trading in my '04 because I liked the changes but now I'm thinking of waiting for the '07 redesign , about 11 months before details.

I'd take an '06 over an '05. I never liked the clearance strip anyways, seemed like an odd thing to me. The sculpted front and sides are a welcomed refresh and definately make the car look more aggressive. Gotta see the tails in person before passing judgement, I think their supposed to give off some type of effect that you can't really see in the pictures. I thought the old spoiler was hideous and an eyesore when looking at the car at quarter rear angles, apparently Infiniti thought so too. It looked kind of clumsy how the edges hung off the car. The new one is an improvement, but I'd still prefer to go w/o it.

Cant wait to see this car in liquid platinum or ivory pearl.

The only thing I really don't like is the new shape of the reverse light. It just seem incoherent to have angular reverse light when the red LED taillights are arranged in circles. Other than that, the other changes don't really make the '06 better or worse than the previous model years, in my opinion.

nasty, id take the 05 over the 06, except id want the intelligent key from the 06. I also prefer the 03-04 18s over the 05-06 19s....

Not a fan of that spoiler but the front is a good stock design, agressive and no need for a lip (if you drop the car that is)

You dare call my post a repost when you post all that crap?

i actually love the 03-05 spoiler... i think the coupe looked naked without it... i really dislike the new one tho; i'd rather go spoiler-less than that.

but hey, infiniti still offers both spoilers so its ok

Yea, I think I might just end up pulling the trigger on the redesign whenever it comes out.

But if I had an '05... I would DEFITINELY NOT trade it for the '06..no way

I like the headlights, interior, and the 05-06 wheels grew on me. To me I think the clearance lights still light up, but by LED's instead.

I don't like the front bumper (happy face), reverse lights (circle circle then square? WTF?), and spoiler (looks like they just chopped off the sides)
