Looking at this picture, I don't see too much to complain about exterior wise? It's classy, sleek, muscular and refined. NOW, complaining about not having a 6MT option I get. Some won't care about the 6MT and others will use it as a line in the sand as the deal breaker. That's fair. But when looking at this shot, what's there really to complain about aside from a few minor things like the chrome vent by the front wheels and...?
I can't wait to see this car in black with the red interior and also see this car properly modified. I also hope this car will be the end of the "broken axle" stanced look.

Yeah the only thing throwing me is the color as red is my least favor color on cars. Waiting until they release the full color and options list. Hoping that they release pricing soon! Already called buddy at dealership to see what they can give me for my '08 coupe.

Interest really should be in the new motor. 400hp twinturbo. Pushing around a 3,700 lb car, it will need those extra ponies. I trust they will have some nice color options. The lack of a 6MT is bad, very bad. I understand why, but this car (and cars like it) demand to be shifted, and not with paddles. I would not have either my Z or G if they were slushboxes. What I'm hoping, for those who will be purchasing, is eventually modding the engine. My understanding is the difference between the 300 hp and 400 hp versions is simply the tune. So, there should be room in the tune/parts upgrades on the 400 hp version for another 50-100 hp, especially on race fuel. On a twin turbo car, intake and exhaust alone should get you some very good gains. Remove those cats. Frankly, I'm most interested in what Nissan will do with a potential new Z with that TT motor. Will they give THAT a 6MT? Anyway, good discussion here. Nice to finally see the real thing.

Definitely prefer the silver one. It will be between silver or platinum graphite once I buy.

I have mixed feelings. It looks longer than the concept. The lines are nice seem like a nice luxury car.
On the other hand it looks like an Audi S4 coupe. Not necessarily a bad thing but I don't know.
Manual Transmission is not a must for a luxury first coupe like this one so they will not be losing too many customers. The new ATs are faster and have better fuel economy anyways. Of course I don't know if they will use the 7 speed AT they have or a DCT?
Honestly even with 400hp if it is heavy I would expect at least a DCT rather than their old 7 speed.

Clearly you must care a lot. It's been pretty well known that a clutch wasn't going to be a part of the equation for some time now. Yet you still have 77 posts in this thread. And you keep reminding us how little you care about this car becasue it only has an automatic transmission. Over and over and over again.
Dude. We get it. We see your screen name. We know that under no circumstances will you ever consider any car unless it has a manual transmission. Check. Got it. Maybe take a breather and come back if/when a manual transmission is offered.
Got anything else?

That's was my point. Most of us wished for it. I wished for it. But we knew that realistically it wasn't happening, at least not yet. If that's a deal breaker, so be it. I certainly understand that because 7 years ago when I bought my G it would have been a deal breaker for me too. But in that time I have been observant enough to see which way the wind is blowing and it's not toward manual transmissions. They're getting more rare in the North American market which is a shame. But it makes perfect sense becasue fewer and fewer people can actually driver one, much less want to drive one, or will buy them if they are built. Sometimes we forget that an enthusiast forum community we represent the fringe outliers of luxury car buyers. We are the "1%" if you will, Infiniti is not building or marketing toward us. So its not likely that what gets built will be what we want or the way we want it. That's more likely to happen upmarket with different brands for twice the money we are paying.
