i dont care so much about the horsepower but rather the torque. That is really going to make a difference. The G35 sedan (07-08) was 305 hp and 260ish TQ, the G37 was 328hp and 267 (i might not be 100% accurate on those figures). How much faster is the G37 over the G35? Also the power curve is a big deal.

I had a 2007 G35 Coupe with the Sports package. Loved it.
I had a 2011 G37XS Coupe. Loved it.
I am now in a 2015 QX50 and while it's been an adjustment, am really enjoying
I've been anxiously awaiting release news on this vehicle, so this is all pretty exciting.
Beautiful car. Excellent advances in power (especially the torque), interior, lessened wheel gap, etc.
I am wondering what the exhaust will sound like. My QX50 has none of that wonderful Coupe exhaust note, which does make me sad on a daily basis.

I really like the car, but...

- If the AT is a carry over I'm out.
- If the car weighs too much I'm out.

Can't believe it essentially comes fully loaded for that price! Real leather, navi, back up cam, and ofcourse no need for a sports package on an M car. If you price out an m235i it essentially costs the same with those options. Interior is a bit meh but this is a really good deal.

You realize that the amount of power on tap here is Mustang GT type of power right? I can't think of another car in the price range with a higher weight/power ratio and yet not to many people complain that the S5/S4, 340i/440i and soon C450 are under powered. And this car has at least 40 more hp that the next closest competitor. I think you'll be ok considering you made do with 'just' 330hp all along.
Yet your claim about the power to weight ratio is wrong, for a car weighting 3700-3800 pounds actually there are plenty of v8' around these days.
Example? New Camaro ss , weights LESS (mid 3600) and it has an amazing V8 that has more torque across the whole powerband.
400hp is actually pushing a 3 liter TT engine, you can get much more HOWEVER it will reduce its lifespan drastically.
Oh well it is good that we have so many choices today...

Jag expects 20% of its F-Types sold in North America will be a 6MT.
Give me $90k and force me to spend it on cars... I'd much rather have one of these Jags than two of these Nissans.
I'm still nursing a completely unfounded hope that a future IPL will offer a manual. And that the mid-model refresh, or the mod market, will clean up some of the awkward bits. Time will tell. I got nothing but time, and will continue to enjoy my modded sedan until I don't anymore.

And I'm guessing that one will be offered within 2-3 years, depending on sales numbers.

You can always cite the outliers, buy by and large the numbers are dwindling. That's why this topic is even a thing, because a car that people want with a manual isn't common anymore. I could name a whole lot more cars dropping manual transmissions than keeping/adding them.

Sad thing is, I really like the looks of this car but I'm a manual trans guy. So unfortunately it looks like I will part ways with Infiniti/Nissan in the not too distant future as I'm not waiting 2-3 years for a maybe.

What you say is correct. Also with government mandates for car manufacturers to increase fuel efficiency, manual transmissions unfortunately do not help this cause.

(Comparing my Q50 Sedan to my Q60 coupe). Same driving conditions, same destinations, same driver, same gas. Just different car. Avg just 17mpg for the Sedan and 19mpg for the coupe. 80/20 city / hwy driving.
** I'm just using what it says on the nav screen **
Yeah, I know what it's says on paper, but nope. Hasn't been true for me.
But are we really buying these cars for MPG? lol NOPE!
