It looks more classy than sporty, kind of sends mixed messages because they usually focus on being sporty.

Any chance this is a refresh of the Fuga (Infiniti M)?

The G37 is fairly sporty looking ... IMO




Although the model the OP posted, is not. I see a major sales decline,,,,

That is the Nissan Skyline it seems which we get as the G and it seems pretty spot on. Seems it gets the reverse C pillar.

They better pray they nail this, they cannot afford to mess the G up.

I am curious for coupe pics, have not seen any yet.

Since “One sausage, different lengths” seems to be in style now. I would not be surprised if it looked like a smaller M.

I love the Infinitis drive. In my experience, they are far more exhilirating to drive than the Lexus vehicles I have driven BUT....they are not the best looking. The cars are rounded and lobular. Lexus lines are neater and cleaner. If Infiniti could design a G sedan that was a real looker they would move a ton of them. They are amazing to drive. The G37 test drive I took about 4 months ago was awesome BUT as I walked away it did nothing for me aesthetically . Im sticking with my Lexus

Styling aside, the G is the wildcard of the bunch. The 3IS should it follow the GS is predictable in terms of dynamics. And the ATS, 3, A4, C have all played their cards
