Hey Mike,

We actually haven't released any information about the gas mileage yet. But, and of course there is a but, if you check back in a month or so, we may have something for you....

Thanks infinitimichell for stopping by and posting the video.

Overall, I like the car's interior very much (especially the steering wheel). Overall, a very modern, driver's cockpit that easily beats the one in the BMW 3 series.

Exterior looks are a mixed bag. I like the evolutionary design implemented here, but the front end doesn't remind me of the previous G35. Rather, it looks like it's taken on shapes and cues from the M35/45 (another great looking car) and perhaps even the Altima/Maxima...

Nonetheless, I'm looking forward to seeing the car in person and checking out the specs. I'm certain that the car's performance will be phenomenal. I also hope that Infinti is rating their horsepower figures under the new SAE-certified regulations (to my knowledge, all of their refreshed/redesigned cars are.)

Overall, good things from Infiniti. It's just too bad that the GT-R won't get Infiniti designation here. The brand could have really used a halo car.

One thing that does bother me, is no FOGLIGHTS, How do the old Altimas have it and the G35 Doesnt!?

Foglights are built into the headlights. It's always had them.

I dont like that, it may still have a purpose, but it does not look nice as having them at the bottom, many people have manually installed some at the bottom

I agree. They add a nice balance to the lower bumper in that location.

Raheel,

One of my friends has TL, and the voice system is really a gimick.
He uses it, but he usually has to repeat things....especially the bluetooth phone functions!!!

I do like the new foglights on the Maxima, but I've always thought the QX4 had the coolest fog lights ever. They look like big fat diamonds blinging in the grille! I really wish Infiniti would bring back the QX4 (hint..hint...Michelle )


BTW, props to this guy's ride....check it out on cardomain.

Also I am already surprised this car has so many features and more than the M35, and your wanting it to have even more things than the M, maybe the M will get the features first and than pass on in a couple years, but I dont see it happening anytime soon
Many of these features can be found in ONE car. If half of those features were available I would be satisfied. I never said that I wasn't willing to pay more for those things, however I don't think you need to pay $50K to get those features, nor do I want to have a much larger car just to get the amenities.

I understand that many of you think that these features are a bit excessive. That's why they are usually options. It's up to the buyer to decide how they want to equip the car. To each is own.

I think you got my point and how I feel about buying a G. I had a Maxima and felt like I was upgrading when I bought the G. Now the Maxima has more features than the G. Right again on the Avalon reference or even cars like the TL and Passat. Those who find these things over the top can still get lesser euipped or base G's and it will still be a great car.

My G's sticker was almost $39K and I got every option available. It was my reward to myself for hard work. I would definately fork over a few grand more to get these things.

When you say sticker.. you didn't pay MSRP did you? I paid a few hundred under invoice for my loaded '05x and it wasn't near $39K. The OTD price was about $38K and change.
