agree, it doesn't make sense to make 2 engine that is so close in performance.
i bet next year, the G35sedan will be gone, replace by G37 sedan, and the
price will go up a little to offset the cost of the 3.7L engine, but overall, they
will make more money because of scale of econmoy, and give their customer
a more power, yet more fuel efficient engine

 

because they need to stay away from the ricers... live up to its name and stick to its business plan... having a bunch of leased G37 coming back with ricer kits, clear lights, and stickers all over the place and a broken camber kit which was intalled upside down will put Infiniti into the shlt... who would want to buy a used car with all that crap? hahaha.

 

I am expecting the same. But, in comparing the 06 sedan and the 07 sedan, the price only jumped by $250. With the G37 using/sharing more with the sedan than the G35 Coupe did, I am hoping the coupe price increase might not be $2K. I guess when prices are announced we'll see how much it will cost us to get our G37's.

 

With the G37 using/sharing more with the sedan than the G35 Coupe did,

From the pictures I've seen it looks like the coupe is sharing the sedan's body. That's a very good way of keeping the costs down.

 

Don't think it's going to happen. We have never had that option on our coupes before. All hps on all models (sport, non-sport), has had the same HP.

 

Infiniti just needs to get on with it and introduce the G45. I think that would make everyone happy... no?

 

No, not really.

#1 The VQ45 is being replaced with VQ50 with close to 400hp output.

#2 The VQ will destroy the weight distribution and handling balance on the G

#3 Why ask for a gas guzzling V8 when we should be eyeing the VQ37TT from the GT-R. Sure, detune the engine to make room for the GT-R, but we'd still like to see a factory TT option. The M3 and IS-F will be in for quite a spanking if Infiniti offers TT option on the G.

 

i dont expect nissan/inifniti to do that.. they've bumped up motors and not offered the smaller motor in previous years... ie prev gen maxima,pathfinder,i30(i35)... its how they cut costs... mass production

 

Becaue they need to make up for the *hitty exterior.

 

How much more does the VQ50 weigh than the VQ37? A lot of people think since it has more cylinders it automatically weighs much more, but look at the new m3, its v8 weight less than the old i6.

Why would infiniti offer a tt option when they are coming out with the skyline? And ps- Im not so sure it'll be faster than the m3 or IS-F, and neither are you since there hasnt been a test on any of the three vehicles.

Also my v8 gs400 got identical gass mileage as the gs300 I6 models did, so it doesnt automatically mean that either.

 

Do you really think the power difference will be that much greater for .2 litres increased in size? The xi models bmw has are competing with the g35 awd 4 doors. There isnt that big of a market for awd luxury 2 door cars, hence why almost all awd cars out there are made with 4 doors. BMW sells 3 328xi 4 doors for every two door out there, according to the manager of my local bmw dealer.
