I think Infinit did a great job. Surely the concept was alot better but i never thought the final production of the car was gonna look exaclty identical. There are a few, but most concept models never turn out the way in it's final process.

I like it, because it's like a reborn of the former, to me the g37 looks better and it's a evolved version of the g35. I already think the current g is one of the best looking cars out there today. But also one of my friend thought the g35 looked better until i showed these exact pics and he changed his mind. Lol.

There's a saying, change is not always good but for Infinit terms, I believe they did play it safe but with a good choice. Not all changes are good for example the new sti. Luv subys but why? Maybe for me it's cuz it turned hatch. However the new evoX does look nice though. I think Mitsubishi did a job well done on that.

I think they took an already great design and made it better, which was a really hard thing to do. Plus going the 3er route or Porsche route and refraining from reinventing the wheel is going to be very good for infiniti in the long run. It'll help create family cohesiveness and brand identity.

I think they took a great car and made it better. They did an amazing job of evolving the G Coupe and taking it to the next level.

Maybe if Infiniti didn't show the ultra-sexy Coupe Concept first then the new G37 Coupe wouldn't have been such a styling letdown. Like so many others, I was estatic about the Coupe Concept and so upset to see the finally product. But showing it in colors other than dull grey will do the G37 a ton of good.


On a side note: It's a shame that some of the people in that thread have to digress to idiocy once they come across an opinion different from their own. Example:
Sad to say, there are some people that shouldn't be allowed near a keyboard.

"Stale line-up"? As compared to what? Whoever wrote that is an idiot.

I think they should lower the G37 3 inches, cut another 2 inches off the roof, make it 6 inches wider, 10 inches shorter, 19" front 20" rear rims, put a 420hp V8, add the option for a targa top - now that would be great. I am sure most if not everyone will absolutely love it...... but nobody will shell out the bills to buy it.

I think Infiniti is doing a great job in terms of product lineup and new product planning and execution.

N50

Compared to Audi, BMW, and MB who have cars in nearly every segment...I guess. I agree though, I don't think that the lineup is stale. In fact this past year and in the near future are exciting times.

you're mixing the G37 up with a corvette.

Clearly, the "stale" comment was regarding styling, not the variety of models offered. The FX is the most dynamically sculpted SUV on the market, the G is offered as a sexy coupe and a handsome sedan, and the M is up there with the best of 'em (my favorite in the class, acutally). Calling Infiniti styling "stale" is like calling Toyota's styling exciting.

N50

My bad. I didn't actually read his comment. Last time I heard the term "stale" used to describe a car company, it was used to describe a lineup with few choices, few exciting models, and/or no new models in a year or two.

In this case, I definitely don't believe Infiniti is "stale" in terms of styling.

I would hardly call the design stale but had they stayed with the design of
the concept reaction would have been 70% better with the G37! Just the
interior on the concept was light years ahead of everyone else. I can't
imagine why they backed off and didn't use the concept drawing we all
loved.........Nissan are you listening?

DropTopGal

I think Infiniti did a great job. Good enough for me to change my mind on a Bimmer. The G37 offers a lot for the buck and looks sharp doing so.

tekknikal

they did good.
to be honest, if they never showed that prototype, no one would have complained about the new car.

I loved my 2003 g coupe.. was proud to see one on the road, was proud when i decided to buy it (over the new 350z at the time) and i was proud to drive it every day. If my 2003 g coupe would have looked like the new g37 i would have felt no different... it's a beautiful car with a lot of power at a price point i can afford. If i still owned my g35 i'd stick with it until my payments were up and maybe move on to the g37 or whatever else had the "edge" in that segment. It's a hard call for many who currently own g35s.. there's no reason to upgrade unless you just want to have the latest and greatest. For me.. it's like buying my 2003 g coupe all over again. I'm happy with the improvements.. but i have to say.. if the g37 didnt have the interior upgrades it does.. i wouldnt buy it..

I agree with others who dont agree with the "stale" remark. infiniti.. such as the FX definately have the edge in the styling dept.

.. I too loved the concept.. hated the track pictures in arizona.. but fell back in love with the G37 at NYIAS.
