I like it. I bet the g35 coupe with similar changes will be crazy hot...

"The newest iteration of the G35 is again available with rear- or all-wheel drive; power is transmitted through either a five-speed automatic with Infiniti’s Adaptive Shift Control programming, or a close-ratio six-speed manual. Unlike BMW’s 3-series, however, the G35 offers a standard rear viscous limited-slip differential on all sport package cars, regardless of transmission chosen. It may not be enough to sway the most enthusiastic of drivers, but it’s a welcome feature on almost any sport sedan, and a step in the right direction. Under the hood, the fourth generation of the Nissan/Infiniti VQ-series 3.5-liter V-6 boasts a bumped up compression ratio, a redline that’s 900 rpm higher, and refined intake and exhaust systems. Power subsequently rises to an estimated 300-plus hp. The four-wheel multi-link independent suspension has also been redesigned, and a new speed-sensitive rack-and-pinion steering gear comes along for the ride. "

I like the headlights more...but they look more BMWish

4/12/2006 1:39:38 PM

looks like the center dash lower part is similar to the changes in the maxima

4/12/2006 1:41:31 PM

no me gusta

4/12/2006 1:44:19 PM

Those headlights look like they were lifted straight off a Mercedes-Benz CLS!

Here we go again

time to compare new model A to old model B in the most obscure and not even remotely similar way possible.

4/12/2006 2:22:58 PM

hideous

4/12/2006 2:30:03 PM

here are some concept photos, it'll probably be pretty similar considering how similar the sedan was.

I love it. And I love the M45 too (from which they stole the headlamps )

I'm pretty sure this thing will hang with a 3series on any road and perhaps even an m3. We'll see

looks like a lexus

4/12/2006 3:53:14 PM

it looks like it was moved over to the current m45 chassis. I think its a bad move, but I'm not real fond of the current g35 sedan either

4/12/2006 5:49:14 PM

^^^^ looks much better

4/12/2006 5:51:03 PM

It does look Lexus-esque. I like it, but I think it's a step backwards from the current model.

I dont like it, and I think it's a step backwards from the current model.

Anyone ever notice "everyone always likes the *last* model of a car better".

Regardless of the car, this is always the case. B A N A N A S

humans are so resistant to change

4/12/2006 11:30:13 PM

Or maybe the cars are getting uglier.

Eh?

4/13/2006 12:26:38 AM

i'd do sex w/ it

4/14/2006 2:32:35 AM

heres an idea guys!!!! lets place all of the controls out of arms reach!!!!! so everytime you want to do something you have to lean way the fuck forward!!

ugly

4/14/2006 1:15:04 PM

good point, yeah, more jap manufacturers are pretty good about keeping the primary dash controls no lower than parallel with the bottom of the steering wheel from the driver's view, but the g35 is definitely the exception.

any car that has a console shifter i will rest my hand on..... thus... down low works fine for me.

4/14/2006 1:45:22 PM

A little too bulbous for my tastes - seems like they're trying to blend recent lexus and mercedes design trends. But a 300+ hp V6 w/ 7200+ redline and standerd LSD? HAWT

4/14/2006 1:47:17 PM

it looks like the same damn car to me pretty much
