I don't think it will ever happen but a G with a V8 (and a few more factory changes) would put an Infiniti in M3 and CTS-V (Coupe) competition. That would make for some interesting magazine articles (and a great car).

I know this might just be a B.S. article, but it is fun to think about.

Camo, I'm also in Kuwait and I test drove the 37s yesterday, not to impressed with the 7speed auto. Still confused as to why they don't offer the six speed with it.

Have you tested an 08 with a 5 speed? I'm just trying to see if you had something to compare the 7 speed against.

Personally, I don't like the 7 speed either.

Well, no I did not, I was comparing it to the 6spm, don't get me wrong it did ok, but it just didn't do anything for me. I'm sure it might be better than the 5sp, but I'm a manual type of guy, unless the trans is like the one in the GT-R or something like that. By the way, it had a lot of funny noises and rattles for a 09 veh, hope mine holds up better than that version. My 03 FX45, DOES not have one rattle so far, so that really surprised me.
