Infiniti G37 revealed. 1wordLOL



http://www.automobilemag.com/multime...iti_g37_coupe/






















concept looked wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better!!!!!!!! :P

front end looks like a new camry

rear end looks the same

side profile is just goofy

all in all looks bunk compared to the 335i, i certainly hope the production version doesnt look like its on a lift like this one does......

I'm not wowed by the look either--I liked the previous design better.

It seems like Infiniti has otherwise done a great job with it, though. Here's a first-drive from Edmunds:

What are they thinking! Too much Toyota. Oh well, it will sell in droves. Hope they tune the exhaust right this time. The drone the current G35 coupe (which I like) makes is a bit too contrived for my taste.

Horrible.

Summary

Edmunds review:
http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...cleId=120061#8

Automobile Magazine review:
http://www.automobilemag.com/auto_sh...pe/index1.html

Video on the Track:
http://www.automobilemag.com/multime...iti_g37_coupe/

Compared to the previous generation G35 Coupe:
VQ 3.7L 11.0:1 = 330hp / 270 lb-ft
weight: 3,682 lbs (including the driver)
36-percent stiffer
14-inch front and 13.8-inch rear rotors
Four-wheel active steering and LSD (Sports Package)

0.9 inches longer (183.1 inches in length)
0.2 inches wider (71.7 inches wide)
54.7 inches tall
0.1 of an inch lower
Wheelbase is unchanged at 112.2 inches.

The car looks like a pre-production version. No badging and dirty like hell especially the exhaust tips.
Best picture of the car:


I'll reserve my judgement in the looks department when I see it in person in NY.

They killed a beautiful car. The G35 coupe with aeropackage is so gorgeous and sexy. This car is so "meh". The other car really turns heads..
