Regarding the concept - If I remember, when the pics first came out there seemed to be alot of people that didn't like it for one reason or another. Now, it seems the majority of the people want the concept.

Absolutly right. The vast majority of posters did not like it. That tide changed slightly as time went on. Once the car was released everyone seemed to like the concept and thought the new model looks vastly different and no where near as good. I don't get it myself.Originally Posted by muscarel

Or like an old generation Pontiac. I hated the concept front, love the production one.Originally Posted by muscarel
I personally never liked the front of the concept. It looked too narrow and pointy like a TL.

Agree, I was not overly impressed by the pictures of the G35 Sedan. However, I recently saw it on the street driving by and I was like Originally Posted by Garnet Canuck
when I first saw pictures of the 07 Sedan I thought it looked nice, but nothing special. I didn't think it looked overly aggressive at all. When I saw the Sedan for the first time in person I was blown away by how different it looked in person. The frontal stance of the Sedan was soooooooo much more aggressive looking to me than the pictures conveyed. To this day, I find pictures of the Sedan do not do the car justice, as they hide the beautiful lines it has. Whether this will be the case with the G37 I am not sure, but I'll let you know when I see it in person for the first time.
. In fact, I still don't like how the Sedan looks on pictures.Same thing with the 335i Coupe, I liked the new design but not enough to drop all this dough for one. However just saw one pass me and once again
.I'm still holding back for the G37 though
. Not to be mean but I don't notice G35's anymore on the street, and that since 2004.Registered User

It was probably the same thing as what is happening now. Hopefully it will grow on alot of the people who are not liking it right now.Originally Posted by RBull

Take a look at the two threads that Sukairain bumped. There is an overwhelming majority that loved the concept. The general concensus was definitely more in favor of the new design rather than the hesitation that we see today.Originally Posted by RBull

Well, I loved it in photo, and I love it even more in person. I was getting down real low, and then getting up as high as I could to see it in every angle I could. I actually like the roundness of the corners, as to me, in my opinion, it makes it seems very muscular, yet sexy at the same time. Kinda of like how the Viper is styled. The interior is incredible, very clean and tight. It looks very expensive. I think a 1-1.5" drop just to take up some of the wheel gap and it will be beyond perfect. And although I do like the front, I'm always open to after market fascias just to step it up a notch.

I also didn't like the front of the concept, like others have said, it had to much Acura in it. So I am pleased that they changed the front and I like what they did with it!!

The problem is the color were all seeing does'nt photograph well.It's some new metallic which at certain angles reflects light and casts shadows at the same time.Seeing it in person you can clearly see the charecter lines of the car.I'll solve that problem by getting black

Agreed. I mentioned somewhere (either here or another forum) about people saying the roundness on the new G makes it more feminine. I think a lot of this stems from the article of Infiniti targeting more females, so some how, rounded cars = feminine cars.Originally Posted by ampm24

The Viper RT/10 is a very round car and I don't think anyone sees that car as being feminine. What's weird is, the new SRT10 is more angular, but I don't think it looks as aggressive or as good as the old GTS.
