Post 2010 Infiniti G25 - Headed for China
Smart move to me.

No information on this really, other than it previews the 2010 refresh for the G-Series sedan. It will use the VQ25HR (220HP/194LB.FT) with 7-speed auto. Not sure if the G25 is headed to North America, but it seems like it is headed to Great Britain/Europe. Might be a smart choice if it can really achieve 38 MPG, or even better with a manual transmission.

Cool, 220HP is well enough for the traffic in China.

Seems like a good vehicle for the states. Afterall, there is the C300 (which really doesnt get good gas mileage for the power deficiency) and theres the 328, 528, IS250 (which do get the gas mileage).

38 MPG, damn!

The new 7-speed auto should make that even better. How about a manual?

Smart move, now tell Infiniti to bring it to the US.

I'm with most of the others here, I think that should come to the states. I would foresee them selling a lot with those hp/tq and MPG numbers. Plus I'd have to assume that the price would beat that of an IS250, 328i, etc.

I think that engine would be great in a small Nissan coupe too! Something to battle with the FT-86.

They always have the 2.5 litre Skyline/G in Japan anyway, so it's a natural move I think ...

We already have the Mercedes C230 and the BMW 323i in Canada ...
