Looks nice, though I still love the current car.

As I mentioned at C&D I am not a fan of the current sedan's looks but I think that looks pretty nice.

Would they actually have a back hatch with that design, or just a six-inch trunk opening?

The front looks great, but the roof needs to stop a bit farther from the back of the car.

Didn't Infiniti show a G35 refresh concept at Detroit?  I swear I saw a quick shot of one while watching some television coverage of the Detroit Auto show.  C&D apparently didn't stop at the Infiniti booth this year, since they have no Infiniti pictures on their site from Detroit.  Wait, I found some pics at Auto Spies (http://www.autospies.com/article/index.asp?articleId=6373&categoryId=11).  Looks hot, IMO.  Hope those headlights find their way to the refreshed sedan.  We'll know for sure when the NY show rolls around.

Personally, I don't love the looks of the current sedan.  It's height to width ratio is too high and the stacked headlamps only serve to make it look taller and narrower.  The coupe has better proportions, but the front end still is a little blunt and tall looking (something that the Detroit concept's look fixes).

The concept is of the coupe. I wouldn't be surprised if the designs are more differentiated this time around.

I think that looks pretty good.  If it comes with a significantly improved interior, it could be a real contender (not that it isn't already).

I like the current exterior better.  That kind of feels like a Peugeot.

Feels like a Peugot or looks like a Peugot?

The looks feel as if they have a Peugeot aura about them.

That's a really stubby trunk-section. Stretch it out, and it'll look better.

And that girl is ugly, too.

She occupies more surface area than all the cars combined. Why isn't the magazine called GIRL?

It is the rear, the front looks very much like an Infiniti.
