Same here. Even if the coupe has an all glass roof instead of a conventional one I'd still get it. Originally Posted by clokwork

I'll take one in bright red with chrome rims please.

They have to rise to the level competion (E92 335i) on the performance & handling as well. (at least get close).
If they can do that, the value ($) will sell a lot of cars.

Yes all are important.
I believe Infiniti will likey have a styling edge (exterior) over the 335 BMW (upscale and conversative but not very sporty IMHO) - although I have not seen one in person yet. From the coupe concept the interior may be a serious jump ahead as well. Whether the G Coupe will come close on the vehicle dynamics and performance is another question though. Who knows about price?

Unless Infiniti chooses to differentiate the coupe more from the sedan... (highly unlikely)...Originally Posted by RBull

We should get a reasonable idea of vehicle dynamics from the sport sedan.
Springs, shocks & sways may be different, but base components should be close. (like now)
I would expect price to rise somewhat, but still hold the relationship with the sedan.
I guess we'll just have to twiddle our thumbs a while longer.

Well, condiering the 07 6MT Sedan's 0-60 time is 5.2 seconds, I'm gonna venture to say the G35 Coupe in 08 will be plenty capable as far as engine performance goes.
Oh, and that's a G35 Sedan, not a G37 ..

Think you're right on all counts. The engine & final styling - who knows? Let the twiddling continue.Originally Posted by inTgr8r

Just got back to the office;
as happenstance would have it, I passed by a BMW dealer and just had to stop for a look
They had 5 new E92 coupes that just rolled off the truck yesterday.
Your impressions are pretty much on target with the 335i.
It is a beautiful, sexy car.... but in a more elegant sophisticated way.
Maybe a few aftermarket tidbits would help with a more sporty look.

Funny but those were the exact words I was searching for.
I had them on my mind the day before but had a brain fart when I posted and couldn't recall.
I'm going to roll by our dealer tomorrow and have a peak. They aren't clients of mine but some other dealers in their group are.

Remember, it's a concept, so it probably won't be like that for a while...but then again, I could be wrong...

The good news: That concept you see is VERY close to what the actual production model will look like. -video cams for rear view -all glass roof. -those 20" wheels.
The bad news: It's not that far off. This is the 2008 model, due out in 2007, (possiblly as early as June of 2007)
We known all this for a long time. These pictures are old. . . . months old.

i seriously doubt the all glass roof and vid cams are going to make it to production. Or is that what you were saying? haha... and I'll go ahead and take a leap and say the headlights and interior purple lighting won't make it either...Originally Posted by Switch

If its got the glass roof and the video cams for mirrors, I'll be down for one after the first year production is done.
