yeah they definitely did something to the rear around the brake lights.  I like it though.  Can't wait to see it in person, and see how it looks

oh i'm not arguing that a more powerful coupe/sedan in the lineup would be a lot more exciting, I'm just saying that this is a good looking convertible and a nice addition. 

I think it looks pretty good, I like the fact it's a hard top. i agree though - it probably wont have enough 'edge'; that's what deterred me from the G37 when I was shopping. I would have rathered an S5 for the price.

Modified:

Although, the more I look at it.. something looks strange. Like there is something missing in the middle of the car...

PS: Oh yeah, good job Nissan. Take a car that's already been axed and claim you're better than it (SC430). Even if the SC430 was continued, I dont consider the G to be in the same class, honestly. It's complete luxury vs sport, lexus got the luxury part down on the SC430.. and Infiniti can do sport, and pseudo-luxury, but I highly doubt they'd be pitted head-to-head. Kind of like saying the G37 would be a competitor for the MB SL, or CL.

They were comparing it to the SC430 which is a $66+K car.

The G's I was looking at were in the $46-$47K mark and didnt feel like 'near $50k cars'. Replace S5 with A5 in my sentence if you wish - i'd rather an A5 than a G37 for the price. A fairly optioned out A5 is  $53,065.00 and feels a good bit more like a $50K car. The S5 being the next step beyond that...
 

Yes - the difference being, nissan made the comment about the SC430 in some serious manner. My IS-F vs M45 was quite clearly titled "apples and oranges".

Exactly, it was an Autoblog comment, not an official press release from Infiniti.

Agreed.
