Ive seen all the Concept photos but as we all know concept photos usually exsagerate a little bit too much. But atleast heres the good news, the manufatured version (meaning the real thing) will debut in April in some sort of convention at New York.
Id like to hear some comments and suggestions!
Thanx

I believe the designer(s) of the coupe concept mentioned in an interview that the concept will remain at least "mostly" intact when it reaches production. That leads me to agree with Switch. Lose the mirrors, repace the 20's with 19's, tone down the interior a little and it's ready for the line.

I never realized how much evolution really plays a role in the new G interior.. check out the pics below:
2005 Coupe:
2008 (?) Coupe:
On second look you can see how much more functional the '05 interior is versus the concept's. The door pockets, cup holders and window switches etc. are in different spots. I wonder how much they plan to take from the coupe concept interior...

Only about 17 more days and im pretty sure much of our specutations (about the future coupe) and romurs will be put aside; and hopefully some of our interesting rumours will also come true. Though its mainly gonna display the new sedan line-up, its obvious that we will know MUCH more about the future coupe.
Cant wait!

As much as we all want to drive a new car over the summer ... this year, it's all about patience... 
Plus in Canada, they are going to reduce the federal tax by 1% ... so if you're talking about a C$50k car ... that's $500 just by waiting (and not even negotiating with the dealership YET!)
C'mon NY Autoshow / Infiniti ... surprise us with DUAL world premieres (ie G37 sedan + G37 coupe) ...

If we use the 1st gen G coupe/sedan as an example, it would probably be safe to say the 2nd gen coupe/sedan would have similar interior layout and materials. And it has been said from Nissan/Infiniti that the next gen G will use similar materials found in the current M-series.
The 'upgrade' in materials will definitely bring new customers into the Infiniti fold ...

DETROIT — Infiniti will show off a "major redesign" of the 2007 G35 sedan at the New York auto show and a concept coupe at January's Detroit auto show, Inside Line has learned.
Maybe I'm blind but I think that says it all. Even if this information is not credible there has been no evidence that the coupe will be introduced in its final form at New York. So I'm sitting here scratching my nuts wondering why some of you think it will.
The norm has always been to introduce the sedan, generate a buzz and then follow up with a coupe. Almost all car companies do this. Why should it be any different now? So I think anyone thinking about waiting to buy or not will have to base your decision on how the Sedan comes out.
Look at this way, 95% of the time a coupe looks better than its sedan counterpart, so if the G35 sedan at New York looks decent you will not be dissapointed by the coupe.

the thing is, i heard the coupe will look pretty much identical to the coupe concept. so maybe its if you think the coupe looks good, you will not be disappointed by the actual sedan. the G35 has some pretty heavy competition from other makes now and for it not to look as good as the coupe would be a pretty bad thing.
i hate that term "major redesign," as opposed to "second generation." this still gives life to that rumor that the car will be totally redesigned for 2009, making this two-year revamp a pretty bad thing.

Interior; it might not come out the same...
Exterior; shape didn't changed much like the '08G Sedan...'08G Sedan gonna look really close to "OUR" G...
'08Gc; it's gonna on the ground around '07 summer...
That's what the sales told me who work in Infiniti...
