The 2 side ducts look like oversized jowls.
They don't work with the overall design at all

I like the "lexus" looks of the new g. the rounded edges of that front end very much appeal to me. For many of you it's the very thing you dislike about the car. When i saw the car in NY my initial reaction was that it looks way more expensive than what its going to cost. Classy is another word i said to myself. I can't say that about the g35c. Its sporty with sexy lines.. but i dont see classy anywhere. That's not a digg on the g35.. remember.. i bought one and loved it.
Infiniti may well be targeting a diff type of buyer. The first g coupe may have been an experiment/gamble to get them out of the rut they were in. I would have never considered an infiniti until i saw that G in 2003. If in fact they are going after the bmw/lexus crowd I think it'll be good for business.. it just might appeal to that "older" 30something crowd which i'm in. I dont' see any car in the g35cs price range being offered by bmw, lexus or merc. that compares to the g35.. it truly is a one off type of design in it's class. I think the g37 will appeal to a broader market because it's trying to beat them at their own game. The more comparisons the media makes about the g37 and the three series.. but for less. can only be good for business.
In the end as an average joe who loves the old g35 design.. the new look is very appealing to me... i only want it to look great, drive great and make me feel younger than i am. if 40k gives me that.. then i'll say it's money well spent.

More unique? Better lines? No way. The G35's headlights alone are more unique than anything on the G37.

I own a 2004 G35 Coupe. If the original Coupe looked like the G37, I wouldn't have one right now. The front end of the G37 looks like a bloated fish. The G37 is one of the worst redesigns of an existing car in history.

Yeah, the forum has gotten pretty hilarious. People who don't like the G37 keep complaining. You don't see us on the G35 section complaining about the G35, we are just choosing to buy the G37 instead. However, complaining is not going to change anything, if someone does not like it, they don't have to buy it. There are tons of other automakers out there.

Be sure to post pics when you get your new G37. I'm sure it will be a great car.

just real quick, but is everyone sure the sport and the 6mt with have 1. the same suspension, and 2. will it have the same front end. Because all of the pictures of the g37 are that with an at. Just wondering if anyone knows whether it will be changed for the mt.

AT and MT equipped with the sport package have the same front bumper, which is the one I think the pictures are of. The base G37 is the one that will have the non-sport bumper.
