The current Infiniti G35 - Motor Trend's 2003 Car of The Year - has been one of the brand's strongest design statements, and a sales success. This Detroit show concept represents an advanced look at the next-gen G35 coupe. It builds upon the design ethos of the original, yet looks even tastier. The lines have been sharpened, its muscles have bulked up a bit, and the detailing has been refined; for example, the rear end is less slab-like than before, and the headlights are more aggressive. The finish on this show toy is a polished "bare metal" look paint, the elegant side mirrors are rearview camera screens, and the roof panel is glass. While some of these goodies won't make it to production, we'd be surprised if the aggressive 20-inch rolling stock doesn't. There's no talk of powertrains just yet, but expect an updated version of Nissan's superb 3.5-liter V-6 putting out something around 325 horsepower. The production version of this concept should break cover in about a year, and be on sale shortly thereafter, perhaps as a 2008 model.


from Automobile Magazine:

If you think Infiniti's Coupe Concept bears more than a passing resemblance to the G35 coupe, that's because it presages the next-generation G35 coupe and sedan, which are due out later this year. While the exterior and interior styling provide a good preview of the production cars, there is also a layer of show-car glitz here. Don't expect the LED headlights, the pop-up flush door handles, or the side-view cameras to make production. The Coupe Concept's paddle shifters will be a new feature on the next-generation G35, but we're less certain about some of the more exotic interior features, such as the full-length glass roof, the speakers integrated into the headrests, and the purple instrument lighting.
