personally, i like the nonsport bumper better, looks more like the current one. If i got the new sedan i'd get the sport 6mt and swap out the bumpers.

Interesting change in look if you just take photoshop and flip the frown upside down...

Before (frown):





After (happy):



I honestly think that the "Kabuki frown" on the sport bumper was modeled after the tradional frowning Kabuki warrior. It's in keeping with the Washi trim and the Samari sword inspired grill. But it just comes off as too pissed off looking for my tastes.

Well.. since the poll is which one do you like & I can't vote twice, I'll obstain.
If it was which one do you like *best*... sport for me (but not by much)
Infiniti did a great job on both this time arround. (unlike the '03/'04 1st gen)

LOL! The bottom picture when compared to the top does look like it's smiling, and it looks hilarious.

Throw is some "real" foglights and I'll agree with QuadCam that you could work for them. Consultant fees could be substantial!!!
Can you add that lip that's been circulating around?

Nah... I like the sinister look of the sport.
No damn happy faces in the review of the guy in front.
