Infiniti G45 (yes i said G45)

I went to test drive the new Infiniti I35 today at Bob Howard Infiniti/Porsche/Audi. Great car, lots of power and smooth driving. I got my certificate signed for the Palm M100. Woohoo! The salesman and I were talking about cars and the reliabilty blah blah blah........ then he said "lemme show you a secret" he pulled out this Infiniti document saying that 3 new cars from Infiniti will be released in a year or 2. The first on the list was the obvious G35 equipped with a VQ35 with about 280HP rear wheel drive. Second on the list was a QX4 replacement equipped with a V8 (most likely the VK45 found in the new Q). Third on the list was a G45! equipped with the VK45 its going to be a 4 door rear-wheel drive very sporty sedan with over 350HP and cost roughly around $50,000. Thought this was really neat.

is it gonna be supercharged then yes? then NO


I like the idea of having another sedan so it can compete with its only sedans.

why cant infiniti bring out a convertible/ roadster, or coupe.

The G45 may not be what it is going to be called. Infiniti has the name M45 copy righted as of now nad a few other names. The possible replacement of the QX4 is called the FX45, you can see pics of the ugly beast at www.infiniti.com .

hmm... theyve updated the fx45 concept from what's currently shown on their website. the most recent concept looks like this (taken from www.nissannews.com):

I don't want to believe it, but I think ifiniti is doing a damn good job at phasing itself out of the luxery car business. But I think it's doing a good job getting into the sci-fi vehicle/movie market

hey the g35 is looking like a nice ride. I'll admit that fx-whatever thing looks quite odd but those are character pictures and not actual concept photos. hopefully they can make it look pretty decent...
