This could be tasty - reminds me of the new RL a little...
And I am liking all this 3.7L talk!

If that's the new model then I gotta say the current one looks way better. The front looks kinda like a camry mixed with a flatten altima.

Damn.......that looks HOT!
I am going to be getting rid of my 03 sedan soon for something newer....I think I want the BMW 330i....but if the new g35 looks like that, I might have to reconsider.
3.7 liter engine? How much HP/TQ would .2 liters more of displacement produce on the VQ?

Unveiled this spring, released later 2006 as a 2007 model.
Realistically, what the G35 has been so successful at is being a performance-oriented version of entry level competition like the C320, TL, A4, etc. at a reasonable price. The BMW was really the only vehicle that gave it a run for it's money in terms of handling and performance, and at $8K+ more.
Now, with the new IS350 and it's increase in power... the G needs more power to stay competitive. I think a 3.7 liter or so works well for the car, and a lower compression 3.6L sounds about right for the forthcoming GT-R.
That is, if the GT-R ever comes...
The HP rating better be on par with the IS350 from a marketing perspective. And they need to improve the torque on it as well.
I like that look... a nice progression of the current look. Nice, beefy fenders.

That new proposed Sedan looks pretty damn nice. Has some of the G35 Coupe lines.

I like it. The rear end is finally wider like the coupe. I've always felt the current model is too narrow in the rear.
