Will The New Face Of Infiniti Mimic The Audi Schnoz? Enquiring Minds Think They Know

i think they look great

does the G look like any audi? or the FX? infiniti/Nissan hasnt copied anyone in their recent, if ever, designs. a big grill doesnt mean anything especially if its only on car that didnt come out yet

Audi didnt "invent" the big grill, but they sure popularized it in the past ten years...

Infiniti & Acura are still trying to find their niche much less their "spot" taken by brands that know their spot.

I give Lexus A LOT of credit, at least in America, for creating a name and a prestige attached to it. Acura, introduced around the same time as Lexus has not come 1/3 as far. Their quality has slipped since, what, the 94 Legend(still classy IMO)? Infiniti has also failed to reach the heights of Lexus but has accelerated its pace in the last few years with hits like the M & G.

Hyundai is the dark-horse in this car race, I'd like to see how they create a luxury brand that will seperate itself from mom. The Genesis is, from first impressions, a great car.

I have always thought that Buick has the most hideous huge grills of the lot.

I love the FX, old and new.

Acura came out earlier than Lexus, but yes, have not done nearly as well perception wise as Lexus...

Love the grill. It does give me a Speed Racer thought.

I think Essence concept's grille is very similar to what infiniti is already putting on it's new cars. Example check new FX and G37 grille. very similar. So design wise Essence grille is same maybe only grown in size. So more Like BMW approach(grille got bigger) then Audi.

JUGNU

I like it, but then again, I liked the Audi grill when it first came out too.

I think it looks pretty good on the Essence and that it will translate over well into the rest of the Infiniti lineup. Awesome to hear it will make an appearance on the next G line, can't wait to see it!

Every current Nissan and Infiniti are awful looking.

Very trendy and that new Maxima is the worst.

Says the blind man...

just imagine it with a bmw on the hood. Then it would become the best looking vehicle . to you.

Das Gesicht von Audi gekennzeichnet nicht als die Nase. Es hat den Spitzbartgrill benannt.

The original = Audi

The rest follow.

If Blacks can't survive outside of North America, then why is my God-Mother living in Saudi Arabia. Care to explain the same thing to my relatives in France and England. For your information, many countries in Africa are much more sophisticated that some countries in Asia i.e., Nigeria or Laos, Ghana or Bangladesh, Thailand or Egypt... shall I continue?

By the way, you truly are an idiot; care to name a country in Asia that hasn't been interfered with by any European country?

"I'll give you that stupid white kids think pretending to be black is their ticket out of their god foresaken middle-class lives but it just makes N.Americas look even more retarded in the eyes of Asia."

I'd love to hear what you have to say about the Chinese Kids in my neighborhood who try to act "Black". By the way, I live in a PREDOMINANTLY Chinese neighborhood in Toronto.

"I'll bet Japan (even China) has more money and education (probably sports success in a decade) than every black person on the planet combined"

Combine the worlds black countries and see what the result is. Education means nothing if you don't have a job to back it up. Half the people in Asia (except India) don't speak a single word of English.... and you're trying to tell me that their smarter than the worlds Black population?

You need to move to Rwanda or something. Maybe then you'll appreciate Black people. And just to clarify something; there is ABSOLUTELY no way possible to act BLACK.

You're probably just jealous that Obama isn't Japanese. Huu, just STFU and go shove a c*ck down your throat. I bet you haven't even met a single Black person in you're life - TRUST ME, there's more to us than just BET.

does anyone remember the concept of the skyline GTR that came out at the 2000 Tokyo auto show? it is probably the first car to be shown with such a grill
