I agree with the disappointed crowd. I don't like the bubble on the front end and the creases in the hood (looks a little like the tiberon). I loved the low slung profile of the concept. the weight bothers me also.
on the flip side, they did say it outperformed the BMW. a tighter suspension, bigger breaks. I'm probably still going to buy.

Not liking the overly rounded attributes... to "dolphin" like... needs a little sharpness to the design. Heck, I think I like the sedan better... hello, G37 sedan.
And yes, now that we know sedan weights, the coupe should be right in line... that weight figure in Edmunds article has to be way off.

I hate for my first post to be negative but....
I am planning to buy a new car later this year and have been lurking here for awhile. Like everyone I was anxiously awaiting the first images of the new G coupe as it was one of the cars that I was considering. Unfortunately, I too am disappointed with the new look. It looks nothing like the concept. This may make some angry but the new Altima coupe is going to look almost identical to the G37 (the front end very much so). The Altima coupe will make 270 hp and cost 10 grand less. I know, the Altima is FWD and will have Nissan badges, but hey de-badge that sucker and.....
Now...flame on.

Ok you dorky Infiniti engineers.Where's the TT option??
Stop focusing on trying to match or better BMW.Overall,and especially looks you did that in 2003.
Lexus should be the next victim,and they aren't even trembling.
