I second the disappointment w/the power - what happened to "significantly more then 300 HP"...? Don’t get me wrong, I'm well aware that it's really how you liberate these ponies and thrust-to-weight ratio, but I've yet to see torque # and dry weight of this car. Something tells me that the additional redline increase is not going to produce much more usable torque. Plus, I sure hope they improve the MPG…

Anyway - take this FWIW:

A "major car magazine" is suppose to be reviewing a pre-production [which is really the 1st 50 or so off the production line] car for their Sept issue. This would mean that this would be in print in August. Don't hold my feat-to-the-fire on this, but I can only tell you that this is from someone who has a reliable source. We'll see how reliable this source is.

Ken,

Accoring to previous Nissan info there was going to be a Sport Package that was available w/the auto, and like you said Std. on the 6mt. This consisted of a LSD and Sport Suspension and Paddle Shifters. From the new info it does not indicate this. Are you saying you have infomation otherwise..?

I didn't even realize that BMW was kicking off the 335 lineup with a sedan and AWD in 2007. Infiniti better hang onto their bargain price for a while because it looks like BMW is ready to compete power wise too and imo, that was their only major flaw in the 330i.

Looks like the NAV and 9.5GB audio server are tied together. I was hoping the HDD would be part of the upgraded audio system, not part of the NAV package as I do not want NAV. I bet the HDD is larger than 9.5GB (maybe a 20GB HDD) but the NAV is taking up half the space and the other half is dedicated to audio storage.

Tell me about it - that TTurbo I-6 in AWD is going to be nice, regardless of the premium pricetag.

All things being equal, I'd still prefer the 335 if I could get one for $35K, and I've been a Nissan/Infiniti driver for over a decade now.

My guess is that I'll be able to get a 6-MT (loaded minus NAV) for around $35K by Summer 2007.
I'd take a 335 at 35g, lol i'd take 2! lol Sell one make 10-15g on it! Who wouldn't take a BMW for 35....We can ALL have a dream....

Not being a previous owner of the G, it is harder for me to actually not be impresed by the bump. The way i look at it, was i was going to buy an auto sedan, so this 30hp bumbp is good for me.

BUT i can understand where you previous owners are coming from.

Well just remember that the HP rating is adjusted.....So could have been more.

Plus I also agree with previous statement, they might be holding this engine back.

I can see them adding direct injection to this engine in a couple of years, along with a refresh. Direct injection should easily add 20 hp to this engine, making a total of 326 hp.

The 07 coupe has less HP than the 06? That's gotta suck for the people that were waiting for the 07 coupe.

If they added 26 HP to the auto, then maybe they added 26 to the 6MT?

324 (298+26=324 )HP isnt bat at all, especially (and hopefully) if it weights significantly less.

Those are under SAE ratings

The 07 coupe will be exactly the same as the 06 coupe with the exception of standard auto on/off headlights

CORRECTION - Yea your right.

the 2008 Coupe is what people are waiting for. The 07 will be the same coupe as sold now.

I'm sure the 08 will have more power then the Sedan.
