Is it true that they're going to have a N/A 3.5 V6 making 260hp? hmmm, I wonder if the drivetrain would swap straight into my 98 SE, anyone have any idea? Imagine that with a supercharger...woo!

Where have you been, everyone has been talkin about this for months. Look at the Cheston post, I think the actual horsepower will be 255. Yeah they are going to be fast, ill have to agree with that, lol. Take Care

actually admax

the new Max is only supposed to have 255 HP, the new I35 will have 260 (it costs more, so Infiniti had to give it *something* over the Max)

Nissan is adjusting its product line to compete head to head with rivals Honda and Toyota. Accord and Camry already have 4- and 6-cylinder models, and so will the new Altima. This is part of the Nissan Revival Plan being led by Nissan President Carlos Ghosn. It is working. For further information about the NRP, go to

G20's

The G20's may be going the same route also. When looking through unrealeased vehicles I seen that they may give the 3.5 to the G20's but also on the concept car they were looking at rear wheel drive. Now THAT would rock.

At least according to the "Nissan/Infiniti Online News
Bureau" the 2002 I35 will have 255bhp. Look under "Infiniti, New Products, 2002".
