What do you guys think....impressed, not impressed..why? or still need to wait to see it in person?

 

Maybe if infiniti didnt release pictures of concept, i would be less disappointed.

 

I think Infiniti is going for the female appeal.

 

wow.....I just saw the pics for the first time.....I can honestly say, I would rather have my bodystyle but with M series headlights...

 

without that sharp crease in the bumper it was pretty bangin'

 

What I wanted:
- concept looks (as they promised it was close to production)
- same, or preferably less weight (ala TT's new aluminum bits)
- noticeable tq increase to deal with the weight
- revised (smoother) 6MT
- mod-friendly engine

What it looks like it will be:
- soft/bland/almost boring looks
- expected 100# weight increase (as per Edmunds)
- minimal tq increase (though expected smoother power curve)
- same 6MT
- higher compression and VVEL to give tuners a headache

In short, they got nothing right in my book except the interior. Yes, the 330hp is nice, but I rarely get up to those RPMs to take advantage of it, and it diminishes daily driving feel IMHO.

I have been waiting for a very long time for this car, and I feel very let down so far.

Also, since they are very tight-lipped about the price, I am now expecting a sizable increase (not a minimal one like the sedan). And that would make it worse.

I do like the interior though. Which, is ironically, the main thing I didn't like about the old coupe. I will still test drive it when it comes out, but if I find something I like beforehand (been waiting for two years to find the "right" car), I probably will not wait just for the new coupe.

 

I may have to go with the S5 for 330 instead.

 

imo lost its aggressive looks.

 

I agree. This car is just too soft, as if they were really trying to widen its appeal to female consumers. I was already planning to keep my 04 coupe for a long time, but this new version gives me little reason to run like a kid to the dealership to see the new car.....

Thumbs down from me. This will no longer be the best looking car in the segment IMO. If only they had kept the front end of the concept...

 

definitely need the concept front

 

Maybe infiniti will surprised buttsecks everyone and make the car look like the concept when it hits the dealership?? :P

 

How 'bout you add some quad projectors to it

.

 

I personally love it! It looks more sophisticated and refined.

 

The new car is not near aggresive looking enough for me. After pushing it on the track a few times, I realize that our cars do not look as cool as they really are. I'd like the paddle shifters on my '04 though.

 

i hella liked the concept. way to disapoint.
