2009 Infiniti G37 Sedan rumored to be on the way

Scudding around the net recently have been unconfirmed reports that Infiniti is prepping a G37 sedan that would replace its present G35 offering.

If true, the 2009 Infiniti G37 sedan, like the G37 Coupe, will employ Nissan's VQ37VHR engine mated to either a seven speed automatic or six-speed manual transmission. The engine is speculated to produce upwards of 320 horsepower. Nothing has been confirmed as of yet by Infiniti, but the move has long been speculated about and seems like a no-brainer considering the G coupe already has the 3.7-liter mill.

Many of the features found on the new sedan will likely be shared with its current G37 Coupe sibling. Available 14-inch Akebono brakes, an upgraded suspension setup, and a four-wheel active steering system will reportedly find their way onto sedans shod with the sport package. Like its European market version, shown above, that is slated to go on sale this fall, the U.S. spec G37 will be available in base, Journey, all-wheel drive, and sport versions.

According to the leaked ordering guide delivered to dealers, two new exterior colors, Moonlight White and Sahara Sandstone, are scheduled to appear on the 2009 sedan.

Over the next five years, Nissan and its Infiniti luxury brand are planning to release 60 new vehicles to world markets. Most recently, Nissan has green-lighted production of a G37-based hard top convertible due out next spring.

There just adding auto door locks to the car. Infiniti is a little behind arent they.

Even more competition for the Hyundai Genesis, as well as the usual competitors in the class.

Nice upgrades for 2009! Scratch shield paint is awesome. Makes it more friendly for Obsidian Black lovers. THe car is already quick with the 3.5. I'm interested to see the performance numbers with the 3.7.

It just improves an already damn good car, good work Nissan. I hope prices stay down.

Not a convertible guy, but I'm loving the fact the Sedan will get the 3.7L motor and 7-Speed tranny.

Is this the same upgrades that were going into the European version of the G37? It looks like we're just as important to Infiniti than the Europeans! The hardtop convertable looks great! I wonder if this will push Lexus to finally come out with the hardtop version of the IS?

I do love the lines of the G37 convertible concept much more than the coupe. Very secksy.

I wonder if the Genesis sedan had any influence on the decision to go with the VQ37VHR? The G35 was already super quick. Even though we will never know the answer, it's definitely a thing that makes you go "hmmmmmmm."
