Looked composed to me for stock suspension.....

Were we hearing a wastegate hiss? Hmmmm.

I also think it looks like a little big. Glad the down-turned grille opening was a trick of vinyl.

Wastegate hiss? I think you're just hearing that because of your 2014 Sedan speculations in that other thread

it's wishful thinking!!!!

Actually it's not. I don't want a compelling reason to have to part out my ride in order to get into a new G. I *hope* I am not impressed by the new one. But if it is a turbo.......

Those were not stock 17's. Car had Akebono brakes therefore 18"+ wheels.
Also, the VQ note seems to be missing. Maybe its the tire squeal covering the engine noise but it doesn't sound like an HR/VHR.

I was thinking Lexus or Jag myself but was hoping by some miracle that it was the new G.

At 51 seconds, you can clearly see the large front caliper.

Good catch, Q8y_drifter.

I'm pretty sure we all were. Imagine a G with a supercharged V8 like the Jag has.

Maybe in some other life time.

I love how people aren't impressed by a car that hasn't even been unveiled yet and is wrapped in camo....

Thats like bitching at a Chef saying his steak sucks before its even served.

Good catch, Q8y_drifter.

The sport version looks like 19s given the gap between the calipers and wheel barrel ID.

Um, OK. That's quite an eye for detail from a moving picture, but I don't doubt they'd be moving to 19" rims on the Sport Sedan.

Which might interest more than a few people over the next couple of years looking to an alternative OEM wheel (like the previous 19" Coupe rims). If the rims are half-way decent looking, that is. And let's be honest, I don't think anyone is expecting Infiniti to reverse their current direction of making increasingly ugly wheels.
