Well it's C250 for 2010 lol.



220hp? Seems plenty enough. The old G20 had 200hp under the old SAE rating.

Yay! been wanting a G25 since the G35 came out. Infiniti NA, make it happen.

Sounds like 38 mpg based on European numbers, different than here.

I would think that the G is kind of portly for a 2.5

38 mpg rated in their scale, probably not equivalent to the US. we are most likely looking at high 20s. and yes, they dont make attractice shift *****

This would be a decent competitor to the IS250, MBZ C300, and BMW 328i

True and the G originally was a FWD, I-4 car, so a G25 would be a throw back to it (though to confuse us the current G is a Skyline and not a Nissan Primera like the old G20).

Whats disturbing is all their eggs seem to be in the G37 basket. It literally is nearly 70% of its sales here!

I think this car should be considered for the US market. I think it will sell even though Infiniti is more of a performance oriented brand. But then again BMW just announced they will be producing fwd 3 cylider turbos i the future. Its a new world

Dang they should definitely sell this here. Its price would undercut everything Lexus BMW or Mercedes has to offer. My sister recently chose an IS250 OVER the G37 because she found the power of the G37 TOO much for her, but otherwise loved the G37 and the space it offered.

I have to admit when you drive a G37 sedan and then drive an IS350 it feels like the IS is needing a refresh. The G37 seems well tuned for sport driving while allowing more room in the cabin. The IS needs a refresh or at least a bigger motor. 306 hp is not the standard anymore.

Surprisingly, for a 6-cylinder engine, the VQ25HR is dang efficient.

NEW NISSAN SKYLINE HITS 1,000KM ON ONE TANK OF FUEL

TOKYO (March 23, 2007) -- Nissan engineers set out to prove a point - that the new Skyline sedan could go 1,000 kilometers on one tank of fuel. The challenge - that this would be accomplished on real roads with unpredictable traffic and weather conditions and with different drivers. The so-called 'eco-driving challenge was conducted by a team of product development experts on the roads from Tochigi to Kanagawa. The 2.5-liter Skyline model driven was powered by the VQ25HR V6 engine, capable of generating 225 horsepower and 26.8kgm of torque.

The team succeeded in covering a impressive distance of 1,024.4 kilometers with an average fuel consumption rate of 16.3km-per-liter. The main objective of the eco-driving challenge was to promote greater awareness of Nissan's advanced fuel-economy technology as well as demonstrate the efficiency of the new VQ engine under real-world driving conditions.

The 1,000km drive took place on Friday, March 16, 2007, with a team of eight test-drivers under the Nissan Performance Innovation Task Team (PITT). The team started the drive from the test course at Nissan's Tochigi Plant at 3:30a.m. under pre-dawn skies. The Skyline drove through the Tohoku Expressway, Tomei Expressway, and Meishin Expressway with Kyoto as the turnaround point, and arrived safely at the finish line at the Nissan Technical Center in Atsugi at 8.54p.m., nearly 17.5 hours later on the same day.

The team experienced a variety of driving conditions including traffic jams from rush-hour congestion and construction-works, but the automatic fuel-warning alert never activated throughout the 1000km drive.

Introduced in November, 2006, the new Skyline delivers a unique fusion of high-performance, styling and comfort in an advanced sports sedan.

*The Nissan Technical Center (Okatsukoku, Atsugi-shi, Kanagawa Prefecture) is Nissan's primary center for research and development in product development and manufacturing technologies.

The Nissan guys were able to squeeze as much from the VQ25HR engine. Simply unbelievable.

Haha imagine driving from Tochigi all the way up to Kanagawa on just one full tank of fuel.

Crazy potential

Yeah, I could see that. 330 HP is alot. I suppose its easy to forget that not everyone needs/wants a whole bunch of power.

i think they need to offer this in the u.s.

<VENOM>

I've always wondered why it was not introduced with the original G35, just for comparison not everyone wants a 335

Certainly will be demand for this car in the US, when gas hits $4-$5 per gallon.
