I don't think teasers, whether silhouettes or abstract photos of headlights or fender bulges, particularly do anything but let the public know something is coming. The thing i dislike the most are highly stylized and exaggerated concept sketches which inevitably lead to massive let-down when the real deal is seen.
But forget about the teasers. When the car shows up we'll talk about it.

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif., Aug. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Infiniti today announced a new addition to the popular Infiniti G Line, the G25 Sedan, which features a 2.5-liter V6 engine. It is scheduled to go on sale at Infiniti retailers nationwide in September, joining the Infiniti G37 Sedan, G37 Coupe and G37 Convertible. It will have a starting Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price* (MSRP) of $30,950 USD.
"With the new G25 Sedan, we're broadening the appeal of the G Line with a model designed to provide an additional choice for buyers looking for a true luxury sedan, but who might not need the higher levels of performance provided by our larger engine-equipped G37 models," said Infiniti Vice President Ben Poore, speaking at a media event at the 60th annual Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. "The G25 is positioned in the heart of the luxury sport sedan market, allowing us to bring Infiniti's Inspired Performance to a wider selection of buyers."
The new 2011 Infiniti G25 Sedan shares the same dynamic exterior, interior and chassis as the G37, but with a smaller displacement engine. The 2.5-liter DOHC 24-valve V6 produces 218 horsepower and 187 lb-ft of torque, versus the G37's 3.7-liter DOHC 24-valve V6's 328 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque. The G25 Sedan comes with a standard 7-speed automatic transmission and is available in both rear-wheel drive and intelligent all-wheel drive. Three models are offered: G25 Sedan, G25 Sedan Journey and G25x Sedan AWD.
The G25 Sedan's extensive list of standard equipment includes leather-appointed seating, Shodo aluminum interior trim, 8-way power driver's seat and 4-way power front passenger's seat, Automatic Temperature Control, premium audio system with six speakers, XM® Satellite Radio (XM® subscription required, sold separately) and much more.
Other standard features range from 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, High Intensity Discharge (HID) Xenon headlights, 4-wheel Anti-lock Disc Braking System (ABS), Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) and Traction Control System (TCS).
The G25 Journey model adds RearView Monitor, heated front seats, heated outside mirrors, auto on/off headlights, Dual Zone Automatic Temperature Control and more.
"While the G25 Sedan serves as the entry into the G line, it still offers an impressive array of luxury features – from leather-appointed seats to satellite radio," said Poore. "With inspired style and performance – backed by our unique customer care philosophy, the Infiniti Total Ownership Experience® – we are confident the new G25 will attract a lot of attention in the marketplace."

Seems pretty straightforward to me. Another choice in the G-Line. Basically, following the BMW 3-series template of offering more model flexibility within the range. I think a lot of customers have been asking for this.

I also think it's good for Infiniti. A G25 can go head to head with the IS250 and the IPL to the F-sport.
I'd simply say that, for my money, I'll buy:
- Infiniti G over Lexus IS
- Lexus GS over Infiniti M
- Nissan GT-R over Lexus LFA (Simply I don't have enough dough for the LFA)

I would rather have seen them drop the QR25DE – 2.5-liter DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder motor with the Altima Hybrid system into the G25
Horsepower – 175 hp @ 5,600 rpm
Torque – 180 lb-ft @ 3,900 rpm
Hybrid System Net Power — 215 hp
I DO like the IPL motor....The V6 3.7-liter engine, found under the hood was modified to provide 352 HP and 376 Nm of torque. Infiniti claims that power is delivered much more linear rear axle. List of mechanical changes include a IPL revised exhaust , a more rigid suspension 20% in front and 10% in back , recalibrated shock absorbers, a more intuitive direction and a non-slip differential. http://www.mibz.com/17978-infiniti-g...w-m-rival.html
