Go to infiniti dealer... they gave me a nice little brocure with postcard like pics of the sedan... they are not putting them out you have to ask for them... nice little mini brocure..
Damn it!! They kept the polished aluminum window trim
I really like the car and I'm glad they finally went body color door handles - but why oh why the trim
Maybe it's just me - but I don’t like it. That's why I had mine painted. They should (and hope they do) offer a choice - but I doubt it.
I was actually thinking of selling my 04 and getting this depending on the performance - but now with that shiny crap on the door I don’t know - might be a deal killer for me. I'm not about to go through the crap I did with this car to tone down the chrome/polished aluminum crap.
Very reminiscent of the 350Z and not going body color with the handles - what is the damn fascination with shinny??? Drives me nuts!
Otherwise I love the car

The chrome handles add a touch of class to the car as well as the chrome window trim, IMO, I like that, you have to remember, most of the buyers of this car are after the luxury touches.

Furthermore, of the people I know with a G, they (including me) are after the performance, not the luxury (as you stated). Believe me, if luxury was what I wanted the G would not be the choice. It's a nice balance of sport and semi-luxury and I prefer it to look more on the sport side.

Well, like I said - it's an opinion - but I feel compelled to mention again... They got it half right by going body color with the door handles. I just hope they lose the window trim.
For all you "luxury guys" - does Audi, Lexus, Mercedes or BMW have that gaudy **** on their cars?
I'm very anxious to see what the final product looks like. If the window trim is toned down (like most other "luxury sport cars") I'll know it's not just me that thinks the current version isn't right. If not - I'll know the car is not for me.
That's all - ta ta, bye bye.
