I am following up on the thread about the motor trend issue on the 2010 model. Using my blackberry so failing to get to that thread, my apologies. In the issue, motor trend lists the horsepower of the 2010 model as 328-350hp. But for the new M, they still have the 303hp. I am holding my breath that we will see the 350 hp, maybe the same engine in the Nismo 370Z.

 

i highly doubt it

maybe the coupe. but not the sedan

 

2011 DI engine maybe 350hp before that not a chance. I think.

 

I agree, just still keeping my fingers crossed though, I guess I still believe in santa, LOL. Am glad the interior will be different from the current model. It would be a nice change to see when coming from the 2nd gen to the G37.

 

i wish they wouldn't change the interior design. but they should use better materials. better plastic texture

 

That would be an improvement as well.

 

Can anyone direct me to the Motor Trend article thread? Could not locate it using search. Thanks.
Any thought when the 2010s will hit the dealerships?

 

Most likely around end of september/ beginning of october, but if 2009 stock is way too high, they may even prolong the release till november/december.

 

the sept '09 issue of motortrend also says that only the G37 sedan will get a new grille and fascias. they also say that all G models will get a revised gauge and center console design. i wonder what they are all going to look like...
