I was surprised that they removed the analog clock. It was like their trademark. Its funny because I remember people saying its cheesy and that lexus,benz and such wouldn't do it. And now its everywhere.

I love my Analog clock...seriously. So easy to read and the car doesn't have to be on...

If earlier reports are correct the new G (now named the Q50) is based on Mercedes' next C-Class platform. In exchange, however, the next C-Class will use Nissan's engines instead.

I am loving the styling on this new vehicle. I hope a lot of the design cues will make it into the G37 sedan. It needs to have more angle and creases. Its a bit lobular now

That's interesting. W204 platform should be updated soon as well, so this may jive with it. Thanks for the info...
The only one I can think of is the R35 GTR Egoist, but that one looks weird, is like it is trying too hard, putting lipstick on a pig.

Those crescent moon leds in the front and back are nice.
Nice to see them having their own led design, rather than a row of christmas lights.
Car doesn't look as bulbous as the last gen.

hmm? The W204 has already been updated. That platform will be leaving us in a couple of years.

Maybe it is using existing C class chassis because I dont see Mercedes letting Infiniti use the new stuff before they even have a go yet.
also the crescent moons on the rear lights make the whole rear just a tad bit sonata for me.
