Welcome to Clublexus. With one post, I suggest play nicely

IMO, the G35 doesn't look like much anything outside the M35/45 replica front. And after seeing it in person at the auto show, it does look better to me than the current one but nowhere near as stylish or well proportioned as an A4/IS/3 or even TL.

I think it looks better than the A4 and IS. I guess we'll just have to see what sells better when it comes out. Should be an interesting competition. Also, if it does resemble the M35/45 front, then that would be a good thing since most critics love the M45's styling. I like what they are doing with the G's look. They are making the sedan and coupe look alot more upscale compared to the current generation

The MY2007 350Z is getting the same engine(debuting early 2007). Labeled VQ35HR, the preliminary ratings for this engine is 308hp and 282 tq with a 7500rpm redline.

Just like the current G35 and 350Z, the 350Z somehow has 2 more HP than the G35. Maybe these are the correct numbers.

im guessing similar when the VQ used to be 260ish hp several years back and eventually made its way up to 300 hp with minor modifications im sure the new VQ will do the same, start off low but can increase its power as it wishes as they see fit

Nice new look. Cross between the G and the new model they have out...can't member the tag for it

Sorry for getting off topic here but,am I the only one who thinks Carlos Ghosn looks like Mr.Bean?

As a 2006 G35 Coupe owner and a former 1st Gen GS300 owner, I have not posted here in about 3 years. After reading some comments I'll have to say this car should look better in person. Don't tell me some of yall’ didn't have doubts about the new lexus when it was about to come out. It looked long and the wheels looked kinda ugly, but in person it turned out to be different.

I feel the same way about the new G35, not only does it look good in pictures, which the lexus didn't real do much of either, but it should look even better in person.....

you're right , he does look like him

Friday, July 28
LENOX — Driving on Berkshire roads every day may seem like a chore to many residents, but an international car company thought enough of the local roads to use them to launch a new sports car.
Infiniti elected to host automotive magazine journalists from around the United States and Japan to test drive a new model of its sports car — in Lenox — during a two-night stay at a local luxury hotel and between Tanglewood concerts.

Infiniti, the luxury division of Nissan, wanted a location that would compliment the advance launching of the 2007 G35 for the journalists, who have a two- to three-month turnaround timetable before their articles would hit the news stands. The actual vehicle launch will occur in November, but good coverage in the national car magazines is important, so company officials put a lot of thought and effort into finding an environment and setting for the journalists' sneak-peek test drive.

According to Kyle W. Bazemore, senior public relations manager for Infiniti, they visited several locations while scouting for the right locale, and chose Wheatleigh in Lenox to host the 10-day affair.

"Infinity is a modern luxury car, so we wanted to offer modern luxury," said Bazemore. "And the Wheatleigh is a very nice, luxury hotel with a casual atmosphere, and where they like to have fun, which fit perfectly for us."

In years past the company has chosen luxury destinations such as W Hotel in San Francisco and Mondrian Hotel in Los Angeles. Last year a media debut was held at Calistoga Ranch in Napa Valley.

Bazemore said that in the Berkshires there are "plenty of good driving roads to show off the charms of the G35." The 2006 G35 coupe ranges in price from $31,700 to $34,400.

Infiniti has added a new sound system to the car, which they refer to as the "studio on wheels," and they wanted their guests to try out the sound system right after hearing a live concert, so the proximity of Tanglewood also fit their needs well, Bazemore said.

"Tanglewood offered us the opportunity to take our media guests to a concert, then see how that compares with our new sound system," he noted.

As an added bonus, the proximity of Lime Rock Park racetrack, just over the

border in Lakeville, Conn., allowed the test drivers to really run the new prototypes at high speeds.

The 2007 Infiniti G35 is powered by a 3.5-liter, 306-horsepower V6 engine, and can go from 0 to 60 mph in just over five seconds. The car has been rated at traveling 19 miles per gallon in the city and 26 miles per gallon on the highway.

There were four waves of visitors, a total of 32, Bazemore said. The first group, American journalists, arrived Sunday afternoon. They checked out Tuesday, and the second wave, eight more U.S. journalists, arrived Tuesday evening and left yesterday. Then another eight journalists from Japan came in yesterday afternoon and will leave tomorrow. The last group, eight more Japanese journalists, arrive Monday and will depart on Wednesday.

The American journalists represented magazines such as Car & Driver, Road & Track and Popular Mechanics.

For most of the guests, Bazemore noted, this is their first visit to the Berkshires, and so far, they have been "blown away by the area and by the service at Wheatleigh."

He noted that they choose a different spot for their test drive excursions every year, "and this is our first time here, but I would love to do another event here. Everyone has been so nice, and very helpful."

Marc Wilhelm, general manager of Wheatleigh, said his 19-room establishment has never hosted a car launch before, and he thought it might be interesting. And with what the Berkshires has to offer, the experience would certainly be multidimensional.

"The Wheatleigh offers very simple, wonderful aesthetics, very good food and service, in surroundings that offer visual joy," Wilhelm said. "All that goes very well with the new car they are showcasing."

I guess we can't really blame the journalist for the misspelling. I's not his fault that the brand is so obscure after all.
