A couple things I hope we see with the 3rd gen G37 (2012?).

- A deeper character line down the side like the BMW. I always admire the new 3 from an angle....very muscular.

- Better wheel options with more aggressive tire setups. Some of the G wheels seem pretty bland to me. Again, my friends 335 has an amazing setup straight from the factory.

If I was buying a car tomorrow I'd still buy the G. That said, I think there is room for some visual improvements. The refresh is ok, but I think the current body style still looks a bit bloated.

 

The current grill looks better with darker paint. The new grill looks better on a silver car -- blends better with the bumper, also looks less blingy (shiny).

On my silver 08 the chrome grill is obnoxious, looks out of place.

 

Yeah auto companies tend to do that...they call it a "mid cycle refresh".

 

Front end does look like the coupe, but maybe not as drastic in real life. I've always had manual trans, so the center stack change wouldn't affect me. I actually like the little cubby area where the shifter meets the bottom of the console, I usually put my sunglasses or pack of gum there.

Only thing I would like them to change or "fix" is the rear tail lights that bulge out. Looks kind of awkward to me at some angles. Either way I'll be keeping my G35S for at least 4 more years, so maybe I can look at a future 2014 G hybrid with combined 400hp awd w/ manual trans.

 

and a G56 with about 430 Hp to compete with the M3, C63, IS-F and the CTS-V...

 

that looks pretty damn sick

 

now THAT would be sweet.

 

Yep I can see it...5.6L DI V8, Huge brakes, lower sports suspension, Sport buckets and wider fenders...

If Infiniti ever builds one of those, I'll buy the first one....

 

I'm sure this has already been stated but I didn't see in anywhere in the thread....when is the new G sedan to be released?

 

I've seen January in various articles and postings elsewhere; but I suspect it could vary depending on how much 2009 inventory is left on the lots. If it's early January, it seems we should start seeing some leaks of new information pretty soon. I'm eager to see the two new exterior colors and the "revised interior colors". The current colors appear pretty boring to me.

Color gurus seem to say trends are toward earth tones during bad economic times - so some kind of brown, copper, or green could be what to expect; although I wouldn't mind seeing something bolder. I've always been a fan of dark reds (had an '01 Maxima in Merlot that got lots of compliments).

 

Is this a sport or regular front?

 

OG Pic,

Lower air dam looks like a goofy smile. Wheels design is horrible as well.

 

new pics from topspeed

 

^That looks really good! Did Infiniti come out with the new brochures then?

 

Wow, that bottom pic looks great!
