well, go to www.infiniti.com and click on the discover link...then go to future models.

the new I35 is coming out...but whats sick is that the G20 is being replaced by G35...yes...and its "race bred" engine...no specific output of it yet.

whats funny is that the teaser banner pic of the G35 looks like the skyline R35 sedan...found at www.nissan.co.jp

the headlight treatment and all!

too bad I can't read japanese...but if someone can get the link down for the R35 skyline sedan and then compare it or post it so that comparisons can be made?

PLUS!!!!! the G35 is rear wheel drive too! I'm sensing defecto soon for most ppl on this forum if finances allow?

that's because they're the same car

the new G35 IS the new Skyline in Japan...before you get too excited, the GT-R name is now separate from the Skyline name. There still isn't any word on a new GT-R and if it'll come to the states or not. The G35 does look good though and is supposed to be Nissan's best handling car EVER!

Yeah, we have been all over this subject. The 2003 Max will resemble that car.

hrm.. the side marker resemble the boxter, and mr2, the headlight design is somewhat like the current gen prelude, how it slopes up, i guess it might be the design trend, mr2 looks like that, lexus, celica (in a way it does), and q45. just my opinion, many may dissagree.

The G35 from the pictures I have seen seem to be beautiful in IMO (www.motortrend.com for previews and news re: the G35), I love the interior and the rear. The price they say will be in the 20s and that it won't interfere with the pricing of the I35. I personally like Infinitis (ahem b/c they are Nissans, same with Audis b/c they are Vdubs). If the financial gods allow me some cap room to pursue this car, it would probably be number one on my list.

yep

saw the new Q in person, rode in it. Beautiful. Camera is a gimmick though, I told my buddy who bought it, the only way that camera is not a gimmick is if it's sending images to the web while you drive!!! *lol* I think Infiniti is back, and Lexus/Toyota needs to pay attention. Just need to improve customer service with Infiniti. I think the products are very decent.

I saw one and I want one. The shape is more like the GS400, just longer.
