I really don't think the 7speed is saving you alllllllllllllllllllllloooooooooootttttttttt of fuel. Probably 1-3mpg AT BEST.

You're at what, 2400-2600 on the highway at 80mph and the 6speed manuals are around 3100 or so?

I don't know, I have yet to try an Infiniti with the 7 speed in it but from the other cars I've driven that have a 7speed... especially the E63 Merc... 7 speeds in a sports car is one too many :\ Just my opinion... I still have much love and am fully open to trying out this gear box.

so you want to spend like $10k to save a few bux from better mpg? that's the lamest excuse I've heard for a while lol

or do you want to trade coz the 7at is faster? MAN DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU CAN DO TO YOUR G WITH $10k??? perhaps Sam from GTM could elaborate lol

Definitely some good responses from you guys. My apologies for not giving the whole story, but I wanted to post and get some real responses. Not that this may change things a whole lot, but I am leasing currently and got my car 12/08. Was thinking of swapping in 12/09 for the 2009 (hopefully getting a great year end deal like I got on the current one). Also, if I like it enough, would eventually keep the car and begin modding.

Lease? you will get screwed even more. Seriously, this is not the period to waste money like this, you should be investing like crazy or buy a house.

How does this change anything??

You still lose financially regardless. You don't make sense.

First time I've leased, so cut me some slack. A trade, from what you guys have made clear, would result in approx. $10k loss. How would trading my lease for a new lease result in a such a big loss? There's probably a limit I'm willing to accept in order to get it. Just want to know what I might be facing. If it's $500 to terminate the lease early, no problemo. If it's $5k, then hell no. What am I up against?

There's no way for you to get out of this contract, you are looking at least 4-5k MINIMUM.
