Looks like they forgot the front license plate mount.

I noticed this too. I like having one.

 

I am very happy - as I find our current sedans to be FAR nicer tahtn the new ones. They made this one FAR too feminine. Too many curves, on the valences, the headlights. 03/04's look a lot more chiseled, more squared off. I am truly happy, my 03 is better than the 04.

I agree completely, it looks to elegant now, where ours have a bit of attitude in their styling.

really..I kinda think the old one is more elegant than the "new one" (photoshopped)

Personally, I think they all look good. Just slightly different for 05. I like it very much, but wouldn't at all be unhappy with 03-04 models. It's instantly recognizable as a G35 sedan, and it will take a second or third look for many (most) to see the differences.

I DO very much like the new center console (hopefully it has cup holders...somewhere) and the door pull/handles with the countersunk aluminum inserts. The colored stitching on the wheel is neat, and BMW M like, but not much more. Dash layout is pleasant, too. Not better, just different and also good.

The wheels I really like. Not only because they are 18s, but because they remind me of the GSX wheels Mitsu put on their Eclipses for 99 (on the GSX) and 2000 on the GT. Only, better.

 

GDUP, I noticed those bumper anomolies too, but when I enlarged the pic it actually appears to be reflections of some people and a few vehicles including a truck! If this really IS what Infiniti changed - they screwed up bigtime!

 

I was at the Infiniti dealership picking up my car and saw the Service Manager pull up in a 04 Sedan with those wheels that are supposably on the 05 PhotoShopped car. Interesting!

 

Agree completely Don, i love my car even more now.

 

Actually I think these photos are real. It wouldn't be hard to park a car in the same exact spot and place the camera in the exact same spot either. What gives it away is the time of day of the pics. It would be extremely difficult to photoshop in acurate refections that represent the correct lighting conditions of the photos. And except for the wheels that stand out big time, all of the other changes are real subtle. I like the '04 bumpers better, and without a better look I can't say anything about the taillights

Actually the day and night photos are not really that much hard to ps'ed. I have photoshop for dummies book which I am reading and it show an example pic where they chage the color of sky and background into one of a clear sky and background from another picture. So it is photoshoped.

 

gdupg35 Now that I look at it carefully you can see a slight circle mark in where the current clock is if you look closely. But then again it could be just me? I marked the area where I see a thin visible mark of clock, for some odd reason i cant link it.

 

I'm positive all of the images are photoshopped after careful inspection. I'm just curious if it was done by someone working for Infiniti due to time constraints in order to get a quick press release out. I used to work for a boating magazine, and they would fake updates on all sorts of stuff. (Real changes, just fake images). I'm guessing this is the case.

I can see the awkward reflections in that front bumper quite well. Also, I saw no mention of new colors for 2005.

I like my non-aero bumper 100x better than the new one.

 

THOSE pics are 100% photoshoped.

 

Yes both pics are. If you look at this pic I tried to post you can see where I makred the part that was earsed if you carefully inpect it.
