Well here is a teaser pic of the 08 G Coupe. Not long now until it is unveiled at the NYIAS.




Here is the source.

Probably 07 G35 Sedan with 2 door chopped off..

dom

Hopefully the 3.7L isn't any heavier. Looks good.

yohan81718

Last gen wasn't just sedan with 2 door chopped off..
I think infiniti will make noticeable difference between sedan and coupe once again...hopefully

F23A4

Thank you.

Garnet Canuck

Yep, I completely agree. There will definitely be a noticable between the Coupe and Sedan......just like there was with the 1st gen. I love my Sedan, but the Coupe will always look sexier to me.

Mokos23

hope they can put AWD as an option in the G37 coupe this time around and take some sales away from the Audi TT

S14 n Tsx

My next ride.

csmeance

find a 350z and put some infiniti parts on it... you got a G37

bigman

It shouldnt be much heavier.

jwong77

How are you going to add 2 more back seats and a trunk?

csmeance

go beaner on it or as some say, go asian, they can get a cadillac to fit in a dog house

Here's hoping they improve the interior for the coupe. The sedan's good...but, the coupe's is ...

Garnet Canuck

Look for the Coupe to have the same interior as the new Sedan. They have always shared the same interiors, so I can only assume that will continue.

Yumcha

I'm expecting it.



I'm quite impressed with recent Infiniti interiors actually. Sat inside the M35/45 recently and would hafta say it's one of my faves right now for a car in that market segment.

Garnet Canuck

Yeah, they certainly are improving. The difference between my 03 and my 07 was absolute night and day. I agree about the M's interior, it is extremely nice.

GreenMonster

Domn, no repost on this ?? I saw you post something similiar earlier in the auto news forum today...

I bet if a CL owner had posted this you'd be all over them

leedogg

not a very good teaser pic. Makes me think of a 350z

SSMTL01

looks a good bit different from this:


Perhaps they had to extend the front bumper out for impact safety reasons. The creases in between the headlights and grill look similar though.

and why didnt they mold the damn bumper

Mokos23

i recall when i saw the G coupe concept, i liked it, but the rearend didn't have that much of a difference than the current one. hope they made the rearend a little different, but still aggressive.

MaximaPower

this is most likely going to be my next car, if it has the 3.7....if not, 335 it is

Here's a spy pic.

If I had the money I would buy the G37 as my weekend or summer car, but alas I don't have a 6 figure salary

derrick

This will be my next car ... whether I buy it this July (as rumoured in the g35driver forums) remains to be seen. If I can score a supplier discount will definitely be the deciding factor (and my worries of a 1-year model gitters be secondary) ...

A 3.7L engine will help with hedging off the competition. Now ... the question is how 'modifiable' the engine will be to match the GT-R specs. Probably not a whole lot, I would suspect. Block might be the same but the tuning, forged pieces, etc will be a lot different.

Brandon24pdx

I think its cool they bumped it to a 3.7 and changed the name to reflect it...gives the coupe more of an identity of its own (from the sedan).

I kind of dont like how BMW uses "328i" or 335i" for both the sedan and coupe models. They should have kept the "Ci" moniker to denote the coupe from sedan to make it more clear which car is which.

I had a feeling they would bump the power into the 320-330 range for the coupe...

bmehling

i hope the interior isnt shitty like the last one...my cousin had an 03 and I felt cramped and the interior was al plastic

SanJoseRoller

I hope it doesnt have that ugly ass chrome trim on the rear trunk like the sedan does.

Raheel

I Had High Hopes for this car, but after seeing the new pictures, its disappointed me like the 07 G35 Sedan has, At First glance the car looks like the original Generation, and the same thing seems like it is gonna happen for the Coupe, and the Design is getting old for me, so I am Really interested in the 2008 Supra Instead, Does anyone have any information on the Supra and also know any other cars to consider?

What new pictures?
Have you seen something besides the 1 teaser photo?

Garnet Canuck

Exactly, I am not sure what new pictures he is talking about. The only pictures that I am aware of is the sketch, the headlight teaser, and a spy shot.........none of which are good enough to see what the actual car looks like IMO.

If you are looking for radical changes to be done to the 2nd generation Coupe, you will definitely be disappointed. There is no way that Infiniti will impose radical changes to a car that has been such a huge success and is accounting for over half of their total sales. Instead, they choose to implement subtle, yet evolutionary changes....which is the smart thing to do IMO. When the car is Infiniti's bread and butter, they are not going to stray too far from what works. Just my

SicK TypeS

what kind of impact do you guys think the new coupe will have on the value of the current ones? infiniti's seem to hold their value pretty well.. not sure if that statement will hold after a redesign

Garnet Canuck

Well, from my own personal experience with the Sedans, it will definitely drop. I ordered my 07 Sedan in June of 06 and at that time my dealership quoted me a trade-in value for my 03. When I finally took delivery of my 07 in late November, that trade-in value for my 03 decreased by $3k. I was following the prices of the 03s during my wait for my 07 and there definitely was a sharper than normal decrease.

All vehicles will depreciate at a certain rate every year, we all know that. But from what I can tell, a new generation of a vehicle will slightly increase the depreciation rate of the previous generation.

Mokos23

maybe it's time to trade in the TSX before the 2nd gen model comes out.

Raheel

I was talking about the spy shot guys, http://www.leftlanenews.com/spied-in...g37-coupe.html

The picture tells a lot, like the basic shape, lots of people on G35 Driver have noticed how it isnt changed much over the current G35, I am sure it will be different, but I hope its not like the sedan, where they made it so similar to the current Gen

GIBSON6594

How can you judge on that pic?

picus

Eventually Infiniti will reach a point where previous gen models won't have sharp declines in resale when a new model comes out. I don't think they are there yet, though. Like Shane mentioned my '03 G35 sedan took a nose dive in resale right around October, when the '07s were hitting the road.

Dan

500hp, 43mpg & $21,253.62. Or not.

Mokos23

Do you know if that was the case with the 2nd gen TL in 2003 when the 3rd gen TL came out?

alphason'sac

Definitely not from what I saw even recently. The 2nd Gens are fetching high value. For example, I saw several '03 TL models with good miles 40-50K, going for $20K You can find a 2004 TL with probably 60-70K miles on it for around $23-24K. I have seen both on the internet while I was car shopping recently. The car I just bought is an '03 TL-S and it booked out for over $20K.

--Now back on topic, I am anxious to see the G37 in the "flesh" and also get the engine specs.
