2008 Infiniti G35 Sport Sedan

The 2008 G35 Sedan builds on the second-generation 2007 model’s myriad revisions, which included a next-generation 306-horsepower 3.5-liter V6; a striking new exterior defined by the sleek wave form hood, signature G-style taillights and pushed-back A-pillars for an athletic stance; a crafted, Takumi-inspired interior environment; and the audiophile-quality Infiniti Studio on Wheels by Bose.

The 2008 G Sedan offers a Sport Package for the G35X AWD model for the first time in G history and also receives minor refinements for the new model year.

Enhancements to the 2008 G Sedan include:
- All-new Sport Package available for G35x AWD model (late availability)
- New 18-inch Tire and Wheel Package for G35x AWD (late availability)
- Revised Technology and Navigation Packages
- Infiniti iPod Interface
- Driver’s Audio Stage
- Standard XM® Satellite Radio (requires XM® subscription, sold separately)

 

Infiniti could do what many do for a successful launch...nothing. But they made some nice changes.

 

What's Drive's Audio Stage? Curious what the the revised tech stuff is, maybe improvements to music box?

 

Was the manual transmission problem - the vibrations - fixed?

 

doesn't sound like it, which is a real shame.

Does anyone know why the automatic isn't a 6 speed? It would get way better gas mileage.

I'm glad I bought a 2007, nothing added that would have made the wait worth while.

I'd be pissed if they added something like cooled seats, a 3.7 liter, etc.

 

Audio Stage is supposed to make it seem like you are smack dab in the middle of the music, as opposed to a bit off to one side when you are sitting in the driver's seat or wherever. I had a similar feature on a Pioneer HU and I really didn't care for it.

 

THAT SUX!!! I would've loved to have that on my 07 g35x.

 

Good stuff, I just read this on NissanNews myself. I'd be interested to find out what changes they've made to the tech and navi packages. Also, that's great news for future X owners.

 

18" wheels for the X is exactly what I would have wanted. What exactly do you think the Sport Package for the X is?

 

idk but an awd 6mt would be nice!

 

Assuming the sport package will come with paddle shifters, is there currently any difference in the feel between manumatic and paddle shifters when comparing the standard G and S models? I have an 07 G35X now, but have never driven the S model with paddle shifters. I figure the paddles will be much better when shifting in a spirited mode but not sure if the transmission has any changes in feel. Anybody got any experience between the two?

 

Dang, this makes me think about being one of those future owners, especially that sport package. Think the wife would mind if I traded in my sedan after owning it for only 5 months? Naaahhhhh!

 

Just give her your G and buy a new one. It worked for Trey.

 

I like the way you think, Cheryl! Worked with mountain bikes, might work with cars. Maybe I'll actually wait until they come out til I bring it up though. Just in case...you know...

 

If i can get the sports package with the "X" i would wait but than i wouldn't be getting the deal i want with the new 08's. Man this is frustrating
