the VQ will stay for years to come. It's been one of the top 10 engines for the past 12 years since ward's first started rating the quality engines and won't change that at all.

 

Yes, I don't see why anyone thinks they would abandon this great engine, make it more muscular yes, but not abandon.

 

Good. I've been very pleased with it in my FX.

 

Sure, I bet the engine may be stronger, and may be a 3.7, but I bet it's still the VQ.

 

Stroked to 3.7L?? hmm, would be nice. Hopefully direct injection was taken into consideration.

 

I was expecting more of a change but I still like the new design. It has a lot of smooth curves and not all the funky jagged lines that BMW and everyone else is doing. It still could use some more sportiness but there may be some extra options to improve the looks. I'm looking forward to learning more about the performance and pricing.

 

i dont like it too much.
those gauges look kinda cheap with those big *** fonts... the IS350 gauge looks much better even both have similar design

 

More i look at the car heavier that thing seams to me. I guess i will buy the car when im over 40 years old. !

 

We'll see what the other pics look like... After all the hype and excitement has died down, I can see the car more logically and I definitely want the '08 Coupe over this by a long shot.

 

WAY BETTER PICS HERE

Sorry about that, stupid Verizon Bussiness DSL, there service is laggin badly tonight, not sure whats up with them...

 

This one picture looks pretty sweet... I will defintaly wait until I can see it in person before making any judgement calls.

Although not crazy about the rear bumper indent, reminds me of the maxima for some reason.

 

i was a little dissappointed with the initial pics, but the car and driver pics boost my confidence again. i can't wait to see it in person.

 

Hmm, overall, I think it looks like a nice job. The interior looks a lot better -- the weakest point of the G! -- and that should please a lot of people.

The outside: the notchback trunk is different, but distinctive. If they made it flush it would be kinda weird. I like the dual exhaust, finally!

The front looks nice! I like the projectors, sure, and they definitely cast the headlights in the mold of the BMW 5-series. I call 'em Angry Eyes (see Toy Story 2). The front end is another nice upgrade from the '05-06, a bit more aggresive air openings. I like it -- I have the 2004 w/Aero kit so it has the same locations and rough sizes for the air intakes.

Time to stop by and peek at them at the dealers!
