I'm tired of tracking down all the weird interior noises this car makes.

A DSG gearbox would be nice. But for people who keep the cars a long time I'm sure DSG gearboxes are more expensive to repair compared to a regular auto gearbox with manual controls.

Just give me a better made interior.
Can you describe these interior noises? Is this endemic to the G37 and has everyone experienced this?

stuff to add (i agree with most of the stuff previously mentioned)>>
less roundish body with more defined lines in the exterior. especially the rear bumper.
more exterior color choices.
wheel choices, lots of them, like BMW.
more options on the screen (Calendar, digital clock!!!, date, ambient temp, etc.)
longer lasting tires with higher treadwear rating.
more gauges (oil temp, battery, etc.)
LESS weight, much less (forged lightweight wheels, lighter exhaust, lighter brakes, etc.)
a Tommykaira style wing for the sport version.
better fog lights.
better Journey bumper with real mesh.

I have the digital clock on my screen, nicely displayed in the upper right part of the screen. You are going to have to take that one off of your list since it's already there!

Nissan/Infiniti needs to be hungry and offer as much car as possible for the money, of course all the while staying profitable, and thus far, they have done very well in offering great value. If Nissan wants to keep selling cars and strive ahead, they must do whatever it takes. New refreshments make magazine headlines, and may attract that one or two or three extra customers into purchasing a new Infiniti.
Redesigns cost a lot of money. They're not going to make changes to a car that is already selling well.

A lot of the features listed would only appeal to a very small segment of the buying population and would cost Infiniti too much to add.

Digital clock is on the top right corner of the nav screen, ambient temperature is displayed on the dash, calendar and date are on my cell phone.

In addition to some of the other features mentioned here, I think the car would benefit from: auto dimming outside mirrors, a larger trunk, and for the X larger tires, say 245 45 18, or possibly a 19 inch wheel option (or both). I would also like to see interior foot well lights (front and rear). How about being able to raise and lower the windows and sun roof from your key FOB?

Oh and call me ****, but I miss the little green light on the dash of almost every other car that tells me the lights are on.

Could you please elaborate? Exactly what materials in the current generation G are substandard for the price, especially considering the 2009 update included an upgrade of the door plastics to match the soft material used on the upper dash?

I thought pressing and holding the unlock button on the fob lowered the windows...
