People wanted an IPL G to rival the M3. They'll get it but they'll get the price tag associated with that too. I can't imagine the car being six figures - that would be too high for any "G" car. The only way a six figure halo car is palatable is if it has its own sheet metal and designation.
Infiniti really has something going with the Emerge concept in terms of looks and drive train/performance. I hope that does not become simply another one and done design statement like the Essence concept.

Infiniti has IPLs currently sitting on lots heavily discounted at the 50k-55k asking price and they think they are going to sell it for double the price? Am I missing something?
What about the rest of the article?
Hatchback to be made in Austria based off Benz platform
Leaf based car made in Japan and tennesse
Next G to share platform and engines with C-class. How can it be "unique Japan performance" with the car sharing platforms with a German car?
Benz/Infiniti 4 cylinders made in Tennessee
Summer of 2014? They can't mess the G up, its 60-65% of their sales. I just can't believe Nissan can't build cars themselves.

They should really just dump the EX35, its existence is futile.
The G needs to be a knockout for them considering the M has floundered

A lot of fish in this article. Anyway, it says that only the 4 cylinder diesel will be borrowed from MB. At the same time Nissan is sharing elements with MB, let's not forget that. Basically, it's Infininti partnering with Benz on certain products. Nissan, it appears, continues to build its own cars just fine. At least the American line-up is all Nissan derived.

Im sure the price is over exaggerated, but that is usually normal cause a high exaggerated price on a rumored to be car is usually a direct relationship to how great the car will be, somehow it triggers the emotion to think beyond what a normal G would be

Not going to happen, at least not successfully. Make a decent base-model G car to start with first, the current one makes decent power but is an overweight pig and many dislike the looks (too much to ask for that pricepoint).
A RWD Z with a detuned GTR engine would probably do well in the $50-60k bracket since the GTRs are getting more and more expensive every year. But I definitely don't seen an Infiniti twin of the GTR doing very well.

Also I think the price point of a such a high powered G will be no where near the GTR's price point. I think the interview's pricing has more to do with Japan. An true high performance IPL G will be in line with the M3 and C AMG cars in North America.
