Infiniti turning it up a notch - 350HP M37 and G37 on the way?

As a general statement I would agree, it applies to everyone.

"infiniti's U.S. office wants a $70,000–$80,000 car to seal its position as an aspirational luxury performance brand against Lexus, BMW, and Audi."

I insist on "aspirational", and please, 4 years to come up with direct injection since Audi came up with it in mass manufactured vehicle worldwide.

What a joke, how about you give us a smooth running VQ engine.

Smoke,
If you knew how to read, you will see that I stipulated on "mass market worldwide". This is in the same tenure as M-B not bringing DI to the US market with the new E-class. It is something to make DI work for one part of the world and another to make it work for all markets regarding of difference in fuel octane and grade.
So , do you think you still more than I do?

Sounds like a good plan. Can't wait to see what they do with the new M. Putting this in the G37 is a very smart move on there part!

All Infiniti needs is a premium flagship sedan geared more towards the BMW 7-Series to cement itself as a true sport-luxury brand. They seem to be making all the right moves among the enthusiast crowd.

I own a 2007 G35, and I think Infiniti should use DFI not to enter the horsepower game, but to enhance emissions figures, fuel economy, and the general power delivery in the different driving situations. It would be great if they can mate this engine with a dual clutch transmission but if Infiniti did not work on the suspension and stability system, the handling will be really spoiled, which I think is more important than a stack of more horses.

Overall, I do love Infinitis. But they have GOT to do something about their bland interiors. For cars that have tremendous performance and adventurous styling, the interiors of the M and G are huge disappointments.

They need to make the engine louder to mask the road noise.Thin cheap noisy.

Please let this leave room for a G25 w/ DI. It would do wonders for sales with a lower price tag.
