I am..
First, I want it black or white, with either brown or black leather respectively.
JLine 10RL2 in Gloss Black (polished lip), either 19'' or 20'', depends whichever is stock. With Toyo T1R.
Coilovers (HKS, KW, Cusco, or whoever else gets some good ones on the market first).
Intake (K&N, HKS, etc - something good and reliable and simple, quick to hit market).
Exhaust - most likely Nismo. If I had a current G it'd be HKS, but I think I want a perfect fit inside that bumper of the next Gen. And Nismo seems to come out quickly.
20% tint, 6000K HID, shaved trunk badges, and JDM reflectors assuming we get some amber in production.
What do you guys anticipate?

i went to an infiniti dealership today and found out the hp is about 325 and will weigh about the same amount. and price will not significantly jump. that is all the info that i know. and i was also told that only 5% will be MTs. but it will have the smart auto tranny that knows when to downshift so that will help. but it is still clutchless. but this is purely heresay of what my dealer said at west houston infiniti

Yes! Dealers know 100% of the truth.

Overall I think 5% is low for the AT/MT ratio, although it may be correct for *some* markets.

60 to 120 - much more indicative of power

0-60 is legal.....and you won't get pulled over by doing it on the freeway.

Only now Lexus has a better rep with reliability and the snob factor equal to Mercedes...

Which world do you live in? Even if you only redline one gear and a cop hears/sees you do it, even if your under the speed limit, you can get pulled over and you can get a ticket. Don't believe me? Line up with a cop at a traffic light on a 40 mph road and get to 40 as fast as you possibly can. When you see the cop turn his lights on, well, that's called getting a fast education. Some states will cite you for a "rabbit start" others are more aggressive and will cite you for Improper operation of a motor vehicle, or if your tires make even the slightest chirp, congradulations thats now careless, or worse, wreckless driving.
As far as if the 08 coupe does 0-60 in 2 seconds, who cares, how often do you honestly push your car that hard anyway? I'd much rather have a car geared for 60-120 than 0-60, passing people on the highway is alot more "real world" than how fast you can burn something off of a red light.
