That site looks a little dated ... it mentions a convertible version of the g35 in "late 2005". We know that didn't happen ... so who knows if a wagon or convertible will make it to the line up with this generation model. My bet is probably not since it's already near the end of its product cycle. The next gen however ... this would be very interesting.

As in BMW tradition, I'm sure Infiniti will take some cues from the master of making specialty niches (BMW) and release the sedan / coupe first, then the wagon or convertible the following year. Hopefully, they will have a 'halo car' high performance model soon afterwards. (Like a G37-R model, or something to that effect ...)

from word of mouth from someone high up there they are working on a convertible hardtop currently. infiniti just wants to create a perfect vehicle because the last convertible back in the 90's did not sell well.

I doubt that Nissan is going to break its tradition and introduce the convertible one. Then again, I'd like to own a hardtop conv G37.

Had an oil change done yesterday and the Infiniti dealership was quick to comment on the convertible being released within 6-12 months of the new coupe....

Here's hoping it doesn't look like the photoshopped model on pg. 1. Is it just me or does it look like somebody took an MR2 and put the G front on it?

I totally agree, not sure if the convertible is my taste. I personally think the convertible version of the 350Z is hideous.
