Hey, anyone know if they are changing the I35? I assume that if they are changing the I35 it might have a better grill u could swap. What do you guys think?

Actually I can't confirm this but I think the I35 is dead. I read it or heard it somewhere. With the G's, M's and Q's in the lineup, kind of makes sense to eliminate the I.

And it needn't be a high boost turbo; just enough to give it and add'l 60hp and make it about as quick as the base WRX.

I was thinking about it last night and i think they are replacing the I35 with the new M45. It does have a starting price thats 12 grand more than the I35, but hey...its classy. And fast for an automatic, 3900 pound, luxury sedan. Road and Track states it goes 0-60 n 6.1 seconds and runs the 1/4 mile in 14.6@96.8mph. All it needs is an optional 6-speed hehe

The Teana may become the I35 replacement here in the states. As we all know the I35 here in the states was the Maxima every where else since the Teana will be the new Maxima outside the states there is a possiblity that they might make the Teana the I35 here. As someone said earlier though Ifiniti is going RWD so who knows...

It's too bland as it is, and doesn't match the aggressive styling Infiniti has taken lately. As for the fact that Infiniti doesn't want any more front drivers... the Teana is available with AWD. That would make a great I35.

Actually i think the maxima is taking place of the i35. I think the top notch fully loaded maxima can compete with the es300 and it deffinantly makes shame of the acura TL. And im not sure how much a fully loaded max costs but isnt it around 35,000 which is where es300 and TL starts as a base model. I never saw maxima having any direct copetition, camry, accord, sonata... were more on par with the weak @ss altima. But since the new altima has stepped up the game with attractive design and superb performance also optional v6, it can now compete with accord camry and the rest of the other cars in its class. Maxima is a better more affordable version of what premium car lines like lexus and acura wish they could sell.

I found an article that says Infiniti will be continuing the I35 and that it will be a rebadged version of the '04 Maxima.
