Ok. These wheels are G37 Coupe 19s.



These wheels seem to be the new 18" Sedan design.



I knew I wasn't crazy when I said that the car had the Coupe's wheels in one of these pics. Is the top one a photoshop?

I never really believed this. I always thought it was slightly over engineered in terms of structural rigidity so that a convertible version could be produced without the need for additional structural bracing.

I'm still happy with my '08... it was all I could do to wait for it vs. buying an '07, haha.

If you keep waiting a year to buy the next greatest thing you'll never have anything to enjoy.

It will be atleast 3K more expensive, so you are going to hurt your key market of 30K entry level, now we will be in the BMW range starting....

Also ... the 3.5 engine is finally perfected (hopefully) now there is a whole mess of problems, anyone saying the 3.5 was the only problem for Nissan, dont forget the 2.5 Altima engines blowing, Nissan needs time to correct their engines...

Who says its going to be more expensive? When the new rev-up engines came out, the price increase was only a couple hundred from previous year. When the completely redesigned sedan came out, it again was only a marginal increase (couple hundred $$$). I bet the G37 needs to have this bump to offset loss in sales over improved competitors and will offer it in the same price range.

BTW, I've seen this argument over and over and over again where a new improved version comes out and everyone argues that a HUGE price increase is inevitable...never happens.

Isn't it EXACTLY the same as ours, just on 19s...?

Eh...I don't really care about having the 3.7 vs. my 3.5. 24 more HP and extra weight? So it ends up being as fast as mine (slower once Cobb gets the FREAKIN' AccessPort here )

I'm still figuring out how to rationalize buying a GTR for my next car. Am not expecting to be successful

In the past the sedan and coupe were in line with each other... and this year the g37 coupe is a lot more expensive than the g35, so I think there will be an increase of a few Grand... perhaps multiple engines?

Maybe they will do what lexus did with the es300 to 330.. (it makes me disagree with my own argument)
