Ew.
I want to see a bigger G50. That's all. A bad mofo.
Take the MB W140 chassis size and redesign the G50 around it. Instant classic.

Before unveiling the simply fantastic new GT-R in Los Angeles, Nissan-Renault CEO Carlos Ghosn did not appear to be a big fan of high-end halo cars. Renault's line-up is limited primarily to compact hatchbacks and sedans, while the Infiniti Q45 was discontinued two years ago without a replacement. But with the GT-R now exceeding expectations, and Renault looking at new flagship models, a new Q flagship is back on the table.
Although Infiniti was until now just for the North American market, like its rivals Lexus and Acura, the brand is being expanded into other emerging luxury markets like China, Korea and Russia. Infiniti dealers from those four markets recently met with Ghosn at Nissan's R&D center in Atsugi, Japan, where they were shown preliminary alternatives for a new Q.
Trouble is, the various dealers from different markets all wanted different things. According to reports, Ghosn isn't convinced a new flagship luxury sedan for Infiniti is the way to go, but he's giving his managers the opportunity to convince him otherwise. If they can present a compelling business case, a new Q could be around the corner.

We just told you Friday about Infiniti’s future product plans after the launch of the brand new Infiniti EX. Just to recap, the 2009 Infiniti FX series will get a complete redesign when it debuts at the Geneva Auto Show in 2008. The Infiniti M, which just received a minor facelift for 2008, will see a total redesign in 2010.
Automotive News has just reported today that Infiniti will be bringing back its flagship sedan, the Infiniti Q, with a total redesign for the 2009 and 2010 model year.
Another Q from Infiniti, the QX full-sized SUV, will also see a complete redesign at the same time.
Infiniti is currently enjoying a 10 percent increase (over 2006) in sales for the first half of 2007.

Ghosn dismisses GT-R sedan, Q45 successor likelyPosted Mar 6th 2008 11:58AM by John NeffFiled under: Sedans/Saloons, Infiniti
Ghosn recently told reporters at the Geneva Motor Show that the idea of a four-door super sports sedan based on the Nissan GT-R is "online blog speculation". Uh, you talking to me? Of course it's speculation, but we're from America and if two doors is good then four must certainly be better, right? Actually, no, we're fine with the GT-R fulfilling its purpose as a personal road rocket with room for two. And no blog started the four-door GT-R rumor, that would be Motor Trend, which, on authority from a "senior Nissan source", went so far as to commission renderings of the imaginary model, as well.
Infiniti will likely, however, field a successor to the discontinued Q45 that's more suited to take on its German competition, a charge that's all the more relevant considering Infiniti's impending penetration into the Western European market. Such a flagship model would likely be powered by the new 390-horsepower 5.0L V8 that debuted in the also-new FX50 in Geneva. Hopefully the next Q will be more competitive than the model that no one noticed disappear from the market two years ago, but don't expect a four-door GT-R. It doesn't sound like Ghosn wants one at the moment and the brand is more in need of a new top model to replace the M35/45 that's hardly suited for the job.

Re: (gammer_ghn)
Don't get smoked by the marketing 390 HP/369 lb/ft. The efficiency per liter is the same as the 4.5 at 74 lb/ft per liter.
Which is the same as the 90-93Q with an ecu retune.
The current LS430 has a 4.3-liter V-8 producing only 278 hp and 312 lb-ft. [about what the 90-93Q engine could produce].
The new LS460 and LS460L, are powered by an all-new, 4.6-liter V-8 producing about 380 hp and 370 lb-ft of torque.
Lexus use of 2 injectors per cylinder and direct injection gets them up to 80 lb/ft per liter....................which if used on 5.0 would yield 400 lb/ft.
So Nissan is still using old technology on the new engine, saving DI for a future up grade.

Re: (Q45tech)
So is my info any good? I wish i had pictures.... but the 90-93 is becoming a bit old and for it to have the same beautiful paint, interior and overall quality will take alot of work and when your done fixing evearything you will feel bad to drive her since you will be scared to take its flawlessness away thats why i didnt go with a 90-93 again because i owned a 1990 back at 2005 for about two months it had some rust so i gave it away before it started because i was very limited to $$$ but it was a great car while it lasted!
