new 2007 G35 Sedan testing in Dubai

Jason · 06-22-2006, 10:52 AM

Thoughts?

Nikki · 06-22-2006, 10:57 AM

Hmm. Headlights look like a CLS, pretty nice. I hope that's not what the grille is going to look like at all because it looks American and cheap. The 3/4 rear shot looks like a Pontiac G6. The rear looks nice, not much change there.

spikes111 · 06-22-2006, 10:57 AM

Eh, front looks like a Ford Fusion to me. Has G35 sedan always had dual split exhausts?

Nikki · 06-22-2006, 11:06 AM

Edmunds has these production photos:

Grille looks a lot nicer. The side shot loks kind of like an IS. It definitely is a little more luxury looking, but not really all to big of a change like I was expecting. I wonder when they'll release coupe photos. The interior still looks like butt.

aapriadi · 06-22-2006, 11:20 AM

agree with nikki, headlight looks like CLS's...whats up with the extra bulge on those rear lights? and from the side it looks like a hyundai

love the interior though...for the looks i prefer the current g35

Robin_NL · 06-22-2006, 11:22 AM

Hmmmm, Nikkis last photos give a better idea than the ones Jason posted imo. Still looks a bit TOO Japanese.

I love the new Lexus IS btw.

nmulax · 06-22-2006, 11:27 AM

not a fan of it.

KL2DC · 06-22-2006, 11:28 AM

I think the rear styling is too rounded around the edges (esp rear bumper cover), doesn't gel too well with the rest of the car. Not too comfortable with the hood cut lines and why am I reminded of the new ES and Toyota Avalon in the new G's side profile...there's a decidedly toyotaesque lean wrt the new G's slabsided profile. Interior reflects much needed improvements in material quality and styling is within Infiniti's family looks. Looks great!

Overall good effort but the previous generation is still the beauty (esp the coupe).

SCA · 06-22-2006, 11:38 AM

Not feeling it. Maybe if the wheels were different, but as previously mentioned the bulges in the taillights look awful.

I have always found the current G35 sedan very bland. The coupe is sharp, but the interior in both models are cheap.

Agni · 06-22-2006, 12:04 PM

Way too much Japanese design for me.

What did you expect it was built by Nissan Corp.

Asiann · 06-22-2006, 12:49 PM

I actually like the styling but the NAV design sucks. Might be a new edition to the family later in 2008.

And Nissan is owned by Renault SA so I thought a little French touch would be OK

Isn't more like merged?

Greeney · 06-22-2006, 03:54 PM

Am I the only one that finds this car hideous?

younghov85 · 06-22-2006, 04:09 PM

Am I the only one who thinks its the closest comp. to the E90??

Nikki · 06-22-2006, 04:12 PM

Am I the only one who thinks it's the blandest looking sedan out of the e90 competition? (lexus is, audi a4, volvo s40, etc.)

whippersnapper · 06-22-2006, 04:15 PM

I don't think it looks much better than the current model (which I am now driving till my e90 arrives). Too rounded and soft looking and Japanese "glitz" in the cabin. I actually prefer the austere cabins of the BMW and Audi

rchanou · 06-22-2006, 04:28 PM

They really need to work on the interior. Never liked it. The rear lights are pretty ugly.

Hunter399 · 06-22-2006, 04:48 PM

interior looks better than the last one

A friend of mine has a G35 sedan and the interior is a joke....SO ugly

Neil · 06-22-2006, 06:41 PM

I don't like the softness on the edges in the rear of the car. I think the front looks fine, they are keeping in line with the M35/45.

bavarian19 · 06-22-2006, 09:09 PM

Infiniti has no originality with this design... I have lost more respect (not that I had much) for Infiniti...
