They got rid of the Square......

Smart move...........don't know what Infiniti was thinking with that stupid square.

List of changes:
trunk square gone
darker painted valences
chrome rings around volume and temp buttons
embroided Infinit logos on front seats
HIDs standard on all models except base
Carribean blue replaces Twilight Blue
6MT coming in spring

trunk square gone?? What does that mean?

Are these 04 models or still 03? You mean to tell me they changed design during mid-year?

they got rid of the handle? Yeah it looks better.

I guess if I bought one with the old style I would be very pissed right now. Nissa, this is why you should do all of this shit prior to releasing a car 5 months earlier. Same shit applies to Honda/Acura. Releasing their next years models in March, WTF.

My 2003 G35 should be arriving any day now. And it's a 2003 (not a 2003.5). Do I care? NO

I don't understand everybody's problem with the square. Not to mention that the new trunk is now less functional for the sake of styling because it looses the handle and the trunk release button. I always say, function (over) style. Things go in and out of style but if it's functional then it can last the long haul.

Besides, my last two cars have had the same exact trunk... Acura CL and Dodge Intrepid. Both had the large lettering spread across the middle of the trunk...

I'm thinking a change would be good.

So I guess now there's an in-cabin trunk release?

Glad the box is gone, it really broke up the G's lines.

The re-design looks much better but the car is still butt ugly. No changing that fact... WTF I would make infiniti buy my car back and give me the newer model for changing the car like the week after I got it... I'm sure infiniti lost some very happy customers because of it. They may have gained a few also... What a bunch of D|CKS
PISSED = PRIOR OWNERS
D|CKS = PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE FOR CHANGE MID YEAR

I still can't believe that...
