I heard from my internal Infiniti source that the 2005 G35 sedan and coupe will have some major revisions:

1. 20 hp more HP…280 and 300 respectively.

2. Revised/upgraded interiors from the b-pillar forward.

3. More features standard for the same price

4. New wheel styles

5. Better stereo

Sounds more like a wish list.

hope your right

 

3, 4, & 5 all seem possible, but #1 and # 2 seem unlikely - unless they are both exaggerations. A large portion of the design cost of a car goes to the interior, and it seems like a stretch to think that Nissan would pay for that twice. That being said, they did it with the Altima. However, in that case, they raided the Z parts bin for that redesign.

 

I've heard also about some of those items. I just want a 300HP AWD Coupe.

 

there is a g35 forum on this website

 

The G WILL have an updated interior. As for the HP figure, stereo, and wheels, that is not confirmed. The interior upgrade HAS BEEN CONFIRMED.

 

G outnumbering Z? Certainly not in sales. As of the end of April, Nissan/Infiniti reported YTD sales of 04 Zs at 11,266 and 04 G35Cs at 9,551.

 

Did anyone else see this:

That sounds like it would fit with the confirmed interior upgrades, but not with a 20 hp increase. $200-250 would be pretty cheap.

 

That's a lot closer than I would have expected...I don't think you usually see that kinda trend when you have two similiar cars at different luxury levels. Speaks highly of the G35! I think Nissan did it right when they made it just different enough (back seat!) to make it unique!

When I start a family, I think the G is the next step!
