A couple spy shots...

My thoughts: I still like it, though not as much as I like a couple other current designs. The side profile looks good, but it needs a drop. I like the stock wheels. The rear from the side profile looks oddly like a continental GT the way it swoops in at the top. The thing I dislike most is hump over the headlights; it's like the current one and it doesn't suit this car imo. It also still looks very tall. Interior looks nice, the rosewood is a hit.
Bottom line; put up or shut up. Tell me what's in it Nissan. it could look like Heidi Klum naked and covered in liquid gold and it won't matter if the engine is a dud. The IS350 and 335i are raising the bar, so let's have it!

Wow, this thing's growing on me. That looks very nice. They really stepped up with the interior which I believe was probably the weakest point of the previous generation. I've been looking pretty hard lately trying to find any updates or info on that Coupe Concept we saw a while back, but nothing new other than its existence.
Edit: Here's something you don't see every day on an Infiniti: Park sensors. Here's something you don't see every day: Park sensors in the front AND the rear on a sub-40k car. Where were these shots taken? Is this a US-Spec car?

Dubai - so we don't know if the specs will be the same. I believe they'll also be including the lane departure system from the M45 on the new G (which might explain the front sensors). I agree, it is growing on me, although I think I still like the new 3-series styling better overall.

I kinda like the rear spoiler treatment! The side-ish profile of the rear reminds me of Acura CL for some reason. Wheels are nice and I like the thick wheel and interior treatment.

Infinit already stated it will put out over 300hp. Now I'm sure the IS350's engine is quieter, smoother, gets better mileage, has a wider powerband, it probably even weighs less.
but the Infiniti w/a 7500rpm redline sure sounds sweet.

The new G is a great looking car IMO.
