The infiniti essecnce is one of the most beautiful concept cars I have ever seen. I hope they really create this one. I love the direction Infiniti is going

that's not a fair comparison.

that's the previous LF-a concept, which looked plain and awkward

but i'll admit, the essence does look better (with slight modification to the fishlip grille) than even the current LFA concept.

They should

There's nothing that is exciting (and reasonably priced) that I want right now.
This is perfect (except for that fish-lip grill)

I think it looks like a giant chunky Mazda concept. I can appreciate its very curvaceous but its trying way to hard to me. They have acknowledged the car won't be built.

Expect to see the reverse C-pillar on the new Nissan Fuga/Our M35/45....u heard it here first

Every time I find its like a Shelby Cobra from the future

Honestly it be nice if they do produce this. I bet the car would cost almost or a little bit more then the GTR, which would be reasonable.

All Infiniti has to do is use the Nissan GTR chassis & running gear in this beauty.. The LF-A sheet metal looks so 1990's compared to this Essence.

Yup, that grille has to go, but the rest of the cars looks great.
They should have made the GT-R look a lot more like this instead.
The current GT-R styling never appeals to me. Yeah, I know they tried to make it looks mean & muscular, but I don't think they did a good job.

The essence is just beautiful. Maybe if the economy wasn't so crappy, then maybe this would've had a chance to make it to production. Maybe it will in the future even though infiniti stated that it wont make it to production. I hope alot of its good looks makes it to future infiniti models
