I kinda like the glossy look better. Remember when BMW first introduced the idea of "furniture grade" wood in the 7-series and I didn't like the whole matte finish in that either. Think the gloss really adds a richness/depth to the wood that a matte finish can't.
Its also a little weird Infiniti doesn't have any real pics of the 06 G with a wood interior.

It's beautiful. The Rosewood has a natural sheen to it that the 7-Series didn't have... the 7 look almost unfinished. You can have a finished, matte look without being glossy.

The only sedan pic I've seen was one from an Asian mag - it looked a lot more like the coupe but with 4-doors (which people seem to want). Then again the likelyhood of it being accurate is not very good.

Or better let you change the backlight color like on the Mustang GT.

notice how a site with 90% Acura owners "wants" an Infiniti. Hey Acura, if you really do look at our boards, keep that fact in mind

And yes -- please keep the interior looking more like the M ... lose the current G look.

However ... if it doesn't pan out, the Fit would be my alternate vehicle. (She drive the Fit; I keep my TLS).
Sadly, my Volks won't fit on the Fit.

The GF is not convinced about a Fit (she likes her Corolla but doesn't like how unstable it feels with crosswinds).
Now ... going back O/T... still not sure if Infiniti will bring out a smaller engine to the G-series. Anyone in Japan hearing otherwise? Haven't heard anything over at g35driver.

i think the problem with the 'i-drive' in bmws is that you HAVE to use it for complex AND simple things, like changing presets.
With the new systems like the one in the M, i can change the radio 4 different ways: voice, steering wheel, preset buttons or tuner knob, or the i-drive thingy.
to be perfectly honest, I think the only reason you'd HAVE to use the i-drive thing (it has buttons with a rotating bevel to "scroll" through options) is to move around the map or to select letters if you're not going to use voice function. And the voice function works GREAT!
i haven't used the RL's but I'll assume that the RL's is as easy, if not easier, to use.
