Some more pics:

The more I see this car, the more I like it. The profile is so sleek. I'm beginning to warm up to the tail lights as well.

And about 2 years later:

G50: 4.8L 390 hp V8 ($41,000 Sedan; $42,500 Coupe)

You think the 3.7L coupe will msrp lower than the current coupe? I believe the current 6MT coupe is $35,800. If I had to take a stab I'd say they'll do what they did last time and price at bmw and lexus minus a few percent. Given the msrp and overall cost of the 330i and IS350 I'm going to guess an MSRP of $36,9-$37,9 for the 3.7L coupe.

I actually would prefer them to price the new G higher & not cut corners in build quality . . .

The base price of the IS350 is $36,030. Infiniti HAS to price its cars cheaper than a comparable Lexus. Infiniti just doesn't have the brand prestige of Lexus.

I agree with you, but Infiniti will not be able to price the G35 higher than the IS350.

I really hope that they make a base G30 version to go against the 325i and IS250.

). So ya, I agree with your pricing.

Wow 2007 G35 Coupe

Wow the new G35 coupe coming out in 2007 looks amazing, I think it may look better than the IS even if a coupe comes out... still if Lexus doesn not make a coupe they will lose a significant number of buyers.

One Infiniti salesperson told me that the new G35 was coming out around March this year, with a hardtop convertible model coming out in November this year.

Whatever.... who cares where it is? A lot of people that frequent this board dont frequent the other forums and most of us are gearheads who care about stuff like this. One off topic post every now and then doesnt do any harm

FYI, I dont like the front grill but the overall profile is sweet

Thanks for sharing. I almost got a G35 coupe last year (thank goodness I didn't). The G35 concept is definitely nice to look at, and I wouldn't "mind" having a G35 in addition to the IS.

Here's a few more pics of the future G35.
