Spies Predict First, Now The Rest Of The World Speculates On A GT-R Sedan Rapide/CS/Panamera Killer

First

This isn't youtube, yah dou**e.

BMW8ter,

Please do not call me what the females in your family (mother included) have never seen in their lives.

Also, I've never seen "first" on youtube vid.

LOOKS NICE.
IN FACT BETTER THAN GT-R.

Wow! It actually looks really good!

GTR Look more up-scale with Infiniti badge on.........

how does this photoshop of a concept cS look good

deboost if you like....but that is a photoshop of a BMW CS with some nissan cues on the front, and odd ugly stlying on the side......a sucker is born everyday...its sad thats all a magazine had to do is photshop a CS, they didnt even change the background for gods sake, or the character line down the side...and people are just eating it up lol...i guess I know now who buys these things

lol whats funny is that you went through that whole ridiculous banter to say how much it looks like a CS. At least do spell check. You spelled paide wrong as well as redlicious. :P

awww poor child, I didnt say it looked like a CS that is a CS in the picture sad thing is how many people were fooled by a bad photoshop...what a bunch of idiots...counting you as no1

The grill looks like the old 98 model accord.

looks quite nice.

Good enough to be a new Q.

Seems like too much of a leap for Infiniti.

uh, how is it "too much?"

Monkey see, monkey doo.

:-/

not gonna happen

Now this is the car that deserves the 4DSC sticker in the window. I hope Nissan/Infiniti is listening because they need to make this, whether it winds up being a Q or something else entirely.

@Staar

Not realy the Japanese made 4dr coupe's like 15 years ago. Look at the mazda persona and toyota carina ED.

That car is hawt... woot Infiniti ;>

Build. It. Now.

im confused its an awful photoshop based on the concept CS how is this good looking.....and good luck to infiniti because other than its Motor Trend esque title I hardly think they will "kill" any of those cars...certainly not an Aston Martin. While it may compete performance wise it still lacks what makes cars that cost as much as the rapide will special....infiniti lacks the polish, refinement, and prestige to kill a brand like Aston Martin Infiniti can fight cars less than Aston Martin and some people maybe swayed by there compromised offerings, but I can promise you Aston Martin buyers will not be swayed...

The only thing I ask from Infiniti from my perspective is to FINALLY put a HIGH quality interior into their cars.

That is their only weak spot in my opinion.

Every car they make I love how they drive but when I see the interior materials switchgear/leather quality, etc. I get the urge to drive back over to the BMW dealer.

I don't care if it's cheaper than a BMW, 4k really doesn't matter to me to have a great inside experience over the life of the car.

Do something fresh...BMW style, Lexus quality and you are the new king.

001, I agree with you on this. I currently own an 06 M35. While it does have a decent interior, it is not quite on par with the Euro crowd. I was admittedly wowed by some of the convenience in my purchase inclding the awesome ventiallated seats.

However compared to the BMW 530 I was considering at the time, the $$$ difference was closer to $10K. Basically I didnt find the BMW to be that much better.

I will admit I was in a loaded 330 Cic prior and liked the interior much better.

As you stated, as long as Infiniti keeps improving, they'll be able to justify their luxury. Look at Lexus, when they first came out, they were aiming at the Euros at about 70% of the price and now they are almost equal.

001,

Actually Infiniti should emulate the Audi interior design, BUT keep that lovely rosewood trim they offer on the M-series. The "washi" aluminum trim they use on the G-series is nice too.

P.S. Welcome back 009 from your Hawaiian escape...we all hate you because we were working ;)

Ladies and Gentlemen... Presenting The Next Inifiniti Q

(Are you listening Nissan/Infiniti ?)

I'm tired things being called ___-killer. While I think this could be a good-looking car, Infiniti needs to continue churning great value lux cars. This is the niche alley they seem to have gone down to "bring them back" when on the verge of extinction in the early 2000s.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I'd find it hard to plunk down $80000 (just my speculative price vs. it's racier Nissan version) when a current top line version of any of their models gets to $60K with all the boxes checked.

They need to get away from the Q name. I can't imagine this being their "flagship" sedan if it competes with a CLS - which itself is very small on the inside.

Being that Ilike the CLS, I would actually consider this car if they actually move forward with it

Wow, that sedan version is stunning, it will be the fastest 4 door on the planet!

Just like the GT-R is the fastest 2-door on the planet?

I usually like it when they make fast cars into sedans(sometimes)... But this really doesn't excite me. If I was on the road, I would rather want the Coupe. It looks a lot better

This car must happen, MUST!!

This car is way to sporty to be considered a Q. Although a flagship thats is more sporty might be a great idea and capture a market the 7, LS, S class are not capturing. It could compete with maserati for a fraction of the cost.

As for Infiniti interior, My 07 G has awesome interiot in my opinion. I actually likr it much better than in my X5. Plus the design to way ahead and the BMW interiors are dated in most of their cars with the exception of the X6 and a few others. I would not recommend that they take design cues from BMW 001 as I think their design formula is on point. I would like to see BMW do a major overhal of their interior, especially the speedometer and other gauges. True that quality wise it does not hold up as well. But its not that bad. But I dont have kids or anything and I am really easy and take care of my cars so I may not be a good source of info on this.

BMW interiors have looked almost exactly the same for well over a decade...

Infiniti's interiors are dramatically improving. I do admit the previous Infiniti's interiors were not up to par. But the new EX's interior is up there, especially with the Lux Elite package. Even Nissan is changing. I was surprised at the quality of the 2009 Nissan Maxima's interior.

Even the interior of a 15k Versa has improved drastically, and is more interesting to look at than entire BMW lineups' interior.

As you can tell from my screen name I am Nissan/Infiniti's #1 fanboy, but this design is just OK to me. The front looks like a Honda Accord Circa 2001 ish, and the back half looks like a cut out picture of the 2009 Nissan Max. I KNOW they can do better.

I agree although I said 2001 Honda Accord and was deboosted

bang on baby!

are you serious that no one here can see that is a photoshop of Concept CS we should have a way of posting pics into these forums, because that is a pic straight from BMW
