Is this rumour true that for 2008 there upping the engine to a 3.7?

 

This rumor has been going around for years. First it was the 06, then the 07, now the 08. I have never seen any kind of proof.

 

I honestly can't see how the G35 coupe can continue when Nissan has plans for a monster GTR car. Nissan has lots of decisions to make.

 

I aslo heard that Nissan patented "G37"......that and rumours is all we have.
My guess is that they will up the displacement, but when --- who knows?

C.

 

the GTR and the G coupe are two completely different animals. It's like saying BMW should discontnue the 3 series coupe because they make an m3.

I think they are going to have to up the displacement to compete with the upcoming IS coupe and the 335

Again it's all speculation

 

did you guys hear the rumor of the GX996? apparently porshe and infiniti are teaming up to create an ultimate AWD TT MONSTER! It's gunna have the 996 engine and the concept coupes body! I can wait till it comes out in 2090!

 

It probably doesn't mean a thing, but I noticed on the new G Sedan commercials they refer to it as a G not a G35.

 

^ Haha I know what's up with that? "Introducing the all new G..."

 

In 08, the post will be:

"hey guys, did you hear that Infiniti will make a G37 in 09?"

 

I actually do think it means something as I noticed the emphasis since they started the campaign.

As a marketer myself, it seems like they are shifting focus away from the "35" portion and building equity into just "G". In my field, we usually start developing mindshare about one year before a product ships. So, its a high possibility that they will introduce a new model/number (i.e. "37") in the near future (i.e. 1-2 years).

It would be a misstep for them to take away equity from G35 at this stage considering how much they have built up the model. That is unless they had a bigger objective such as building out several iterations of the G - G37, G40, G45???. So to me, they are building recognition for the "G" platform vs. the numbers that follow.

On the other hand, they maybe just trying to reinforce that there is a new "G"...so that no one confuses it as the same ol "G35".

That's my $.35

 

I still want a G56 drag car with a QX56 engine and a couple T66 hairdryers on it.

 

I posted a theory the other day in another thread about this. Maybe the G37. Or maybe a G25, to compete against the IS250 as a new low end model (since the I is gone).

 

In Japan they have a 2.5 liter option. So it could definitely be possible to have a G25.

 

that would be siiiiiiiick

 

They refer to the M35 and M45 as just the "M" too dont though?

Maybe there is a little marketing going on there. I dunno.
