I really like the style of the current G35 Coupe but this is an improvement I really like this car.

I dunno, it just doesnt excite or move me. It doesnt look that much better than the current model and this is the concept we are talking about. Im just not head over heals for this as I was when the current G35 Coupe was released.

Same here...don't dig the tails....love the heads and overall look is nice. Does look less muscular. I'm working on deals to put together enough duckies to get the top of the line. On the other hand, I'm really digging my 06 and don't be surprised if I keep it. Especially if the new one doesn't come out til 08. I'm not gonna sit around waiting for a car when I have one I like. I wanna mod, it's killing me to wait.

this is the concept from last year but from the concept there is no difference between the coupe and sedan. the only difference are the amount of doors. i would think they would change some exterior cues to differentiate the two.

I agree, tail lights look funny, but otherwise it looks like a nice evolution from the current. If this were a German or British company, which update every 7-8 years or so, I'd say they're making a mistake like Jag did with the XJ. I think Nissan/Infiniti will probably update in another 5 years, though.

i like the look better than the current one overall.. i dont particularly like the taillights, i actually like the current ones better but the overall shape is slicker and the new headlights look good.

I like the current G35 Coupe and the new one looks great. I test rode a 05 G35 Coupe but I could not get use to the interior layout. It's just to bad Infiniti can't design a nice looking interior on any of their vehicles. They always have a cheap cluttered look to them.

Is it just me or does that back end look kind of solara-ish from the side?

It looks more like a mix of the current g35 tailights and the current 350z tailights

I'm pretty sure that it's coming in spring 2007 as a 2008 model.

Also, a guy who says that he has some inside info swears that it will have a 3.7L V6 engine, differentiating it a bit from the G35 sedan. We'll see.
