Is the G25 going to depreciate the Value of the G series?

The G37 is going to be pricier, dealers will be prepared to give you a better deal on the G25 than the G37, which should help the G37 residuals. Funny enough the G37 sold 5.7k units in July and the 3er sold 8k units, so its very likely you were going to see many units on the road in the future even if the G25 had not come out.
I dont get the exclusivity argument at the G's price point, it simply does not work which explains why I am seeing more G37s these days, especially the 10s.

Where did you find those sales numbers? I'm always looking for a website that publishes monthly sales of different vehicles.
BTW, I hardly ever see G37 coupes on the road. They just seem to be very rare. But I do see quite a few sedans.

You can find Nissans monthly sales over at Nissannews.com or Infinitinews.com(same site).
NNA July 2010 Sales: Nissan/Infiniti News Room (the PDF to the left of the page shows each model sales info.)
US Overall July Sales: July sales: Luxury up, mainstream solid, Honda and Toyota down
Also, autospies.com post sales of each manufacturer which most break down into the sales of each model.
Just so you guys know how the G compares to the rest of its class:
Entry Level Sedans
1. BMW 3-Series - 8,897(Sedan, Coupe, Convert.)
2. Infiniti G - 5,721(Sedan, Coupe, Convert.)
3. Cadillac CTS - 5,516
4. Mercedes-Benz C-Class - 5,309
5. Lexus ES - 4,093
6. Audi A4/S4 - 3,903
7. Acura TL - 3,123
8. Lexus IS - 3,100
9. Lincoln MKZ- 1,590
The G is usually #3 but the G25 should solidify its spot at #2 behind the 3 Series. So the G is and has been a seller and I see them just as much as 3 Series here in Houston. They're every where.

Yes that car will get you in the 50s, however you get a lot for your money, especially when compared to the Germans. I test drove it and it really is a nice car.

value of the 'g series' may depreciate but the overall value of nissan will go up. lets face it, in today's economy many people who would like to drive behind a g37 simply cant due to financial reasons. bringing a lower scale model of the g37 with the same styling cues would appeal greatly to this share of potential buyers. BMW munches on their own 335 with the 328 and it seems to be a great marketing strategy for them. lexus does the same with their is350 and is250. nissan sees that as infiniti is a luxury brand, they can give the same luxury features with less power for a more affordable price. now, are people going to be buying g25's all over the place? probably. the g37 has very distinct looks and many people want it. on the whole as a company though, nissan will make a lot of money off of this and that is always good for us as a customer of nissan.

Personally I think the IPL Coupe is coming late to the game and where is the IPL Convertible and is there going to be an IPL Sedan? Is Infiniti just taking baby steps here in launching a new model every year or are they going to get it straight and display everything all at once?

If they have a successful year with the G25 Sedan, who is to say that they do not make G25 Coupe or a G25 Convertible? How is that pricing going to work?

I think the G25 sedan is a great idea. Conversely, I think that a $35,000 maxima is a stupid idea. They should do away with the 3.5 Altima and leave it at the 4 cylinder only, and if you want a V-6 you must go to the maxima. Too much overlapping for Nissan models.

Forgive me; but I'm lost as to why this is an issue for you. If the G25 sedan does well and they offer a G25 Coupe/Convertible I'm sure that they figure out the pricing for those models and adjust it accordingly. As for the IPL line; I too am disappointed at their meager offerings, but Infiniti is testing the IPL and will expand it if the demand is high enough (I guess you COULD refer to it as baby steps; but I see it as being sensible......)
