Drove an '07 Loaner today - my impression
Very impressive. The interior is vastly improved over the previous model(s) IMO.
The high stall TC that came in the 1st gen is now an even higher stall. It gives you the whiplash effect if you are not careful while trying to drive normal. But it sure is fun when you are getting on it.
... love the center console display.
... hated the seat adjustment position. Once the driver door is closed, you have to have midget hands to readjust your seat.
Overall however it was a very nice ride and I almost did not miss my coupe.
I hope the '08 coupe is at least as nice.

It's ironic that you say that about the seat adjustment controls. For the longest time now, ppl have always complained about the previous placement towards the middle console. Personally, I always thought it was fine where they were before.
High stall torque converter.
It enhances the car's ability to get of fthe line by allowing for higher revs before fully engaging the tranny- kinda like slipping the clutch in a MT.
The previous gen had a "semi high stall" TC. This one is even more notceable. In manual mode it was a little twitchy if you are used to driving the older gen. The new gen has a more aggresive reponse to throttle input- add to the a higher stall TC and it will move off the line quick. You have to be especially careful while turning and engaging the throttle- I almost learned that the hard way. Once I got used to it- it was fun fun fun...

that was the only thing I could really complain about. Infiniti did a good job with this one.
