I just wanted an opinion, I am sure they will eventually once the Infiniti G gets a newer engine with more horsepower and torque. I was looking at the below article and if it is getting put in the new quest why the hell is it not put in our cars? A minivan with more HP than my car is a sad day if this is true.

I doubt it unless the altimas move to a rear wheel drive platform. I dont think that motor can fit tranversely in a front wheel due to the dual throttle bodies. They can redesign the intake manifold to possibly fit a fwd. That quest might be hinting a vq37de because the vq37hr makes more power unless its a detuned version of the HR. I've always joked around saying "i wanna put a vq35hr in this car"
