I had heard of rumors of a 1 series fighter. If they can fit the VQ25HR in there, they can vit the VQ37VHR in there too. And they'll need that to compare with the 135i.
Hopefully its not tuned too soft. I'm also assuming this means the G will veer futher away from its shared Z underpinnings and be going more touring.
I do hope it means that if I can't fit in the new Z, I can fit in this car, similar to the current Z and G are.

Yeah, I'm hoping it isn't too soft either. I've been curious to see if Infiniti would come out with a two seater. As far as the G become more touring oriented, I think that even between the first and second gen G's, you can see the move from sport toward touring. It is especially visible in the coupe.
If they keep the weight down (which is really tough these days in luxury vehicles) this little 1-series could be quite fun.
