In that case, will turbo the Coupe I have now, and wait for the ultra-badass Jaguar C-XF!

While Infiniti's only news at this year's Detroit show was a refreshed interior for the juggernaut QX56, they released this New York show preview sketch before media days even ended at Cobo Hall. What you see here is a teaser sketch of an all new G coupe due to go on sale at the end of this year. From the looks of it, the design hasn't changed much from the concept version (below) shown in 2006. We've always loved the current coupe because of its pit bull-like stance, and our only concern for this new car is that its design has gone from rabid to refined; please, Infiniti, don't turn the G into a Lexus.
Interior layout and materials should make huge leaps forward, and we're excited to see how Infiniti tops the origami paper-inspired aluminum trim of the G35 sedan. There's also some speculation about what numbers will follow "G" on the car's decklid. Infiniti trademarked the name "G37" earlier this year, but don't rule out a smaller, turbocharged motor. We recently investigated the issue, asking an Infiniti rep if the name might have a "T" at the end. "We do have letters in our parts bin," he replied.

i think the reason why infinti keeps its info secretive on their cars is because they dont want other car company's biting their nissan styling before the car drops, and forget the jag, the 335, the is350, if the coupe doesnt have more than 330 hp, which we know it wont, im going to go with the audi r8, jus go to audi and check it out.

I dont know what is the big secret about the coupe but it is becoming tiring.Infiniti better come with it because these other companies are stepping the game up! Lexus is starting their F line which is CRAZEEE.. Why not an Infiniti Performance P-Line?? The all new 2008 AWD Infiniti P35 coupe turbo, kicking out 400hp...I wish

It would be cool if they had a performance line for all of their cars tho.
