Went to the dealer today and saw the 2011 IPL coupe and 2011 Limited Edition (LE) vert (similar styling to the anniversary edition vert from 2010)

I gotta say the IPL coupe does not look bad from the front in person. However since it was in black it's possibly I'm not easily offended by the front lip as much.
I had the sales guy show me the LE vert and apart from the chrome, it's also very nice in malbec black. The black headlights on both cars really give it a different look. I don't think I'd pay 57.6k MSRP for the LE vert though. (paddle shifters, heated and cooled seats, 9.3Gb HDD, NAV,premium, red interior is probably the bulk of the extra cost plus the "different/reused annivesary edition sides" front and sides, plus fog lights on the bumper, plus midnight grille). They would both still need drops though.


I arrived at the service stop and it was an all red affair

Red g37 sedan, red fx35 SUV and red g37s vert . Yes the stars are indeed aligned.

Yeah I like the changes. Not the performances changes people want, but will still sell very well to those that don't modify.

The more I see the red, the more I wish it was just a tad darker. I love red leather, but this is just a bit too bright for me. That being said...I'd rock it...

 

its growing on me!

 

Same here, too bright of a red for my taste.

And to OP, Nice Pictures.

 

I was in Gwinette Infiniti and saw everything the day before you were. haha lol

 

When I went to look at the le sedative I had a bunch of bmoore paint chips with me......the red interior matches dinner party red, for those who want an idea of the color without seeing it in person.

 

it is very bright after seeing in in person.

Thanks! I think I could live with it, especially red on red.

hahaha

 

man... what if only red seats were an option I'd be all over that... sigh... looks decent!

 

that's just horrible. i still thinks it's hideous. i'd rather buy an 09 and put the extra $15 grand into a gtm tt.

 

57,000? OMG WTF???? HAHAAHA NOOOO WAY

Now those lights need to the Raul G Custom treatment!

 

wtf dealer ripped the window sticker like that especially on a limited edition model!




i think im going to order these 4 rear 19x9 accessory wheels as winter wheels

 

saw one when i was buyin my g didnt like is especially the insane makup they had on it.

 

I saw an IPL last weekend. Is the exhaust really any better than the stock one? I looked at the tips, and they aren't actually bigger. They have a black filling that leads to a smaller pipe inside, fake large pipes disappointed me. The IPL just looked like an appearance package to me, but it does make 18 more hp.

 

True 18 more hp or just what the manufacturer posts? I find the hp #'s that manufacturer's provide are not always that accurate compared to actual dyno results.

Another thing that bugs me is tail pipes. Especially multiple tips that are not actually real, like on the Lexus IS F. Quad tips, but the single sided exhaust outlet is actually not even connected to the fakie tips. Some Corvettes & Porches have quad tips but one of a pair is only welded to the can. Apparently one of the advantages of riding so low is you get to pull up behind other cars and look right up their tailpipes. Not a pastime I'm especially proud of. I'm just saying.
