Sunday, May 28, 2006     2007 Infiniti G35 - preview     As follow-up to my prior post, here's some info on the 2007 G35. http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/AutoshowArticles/articleId=110002 I see that there is some significant suspension redesign up front... I would also hope that the FM platform gets adjustable camber capability. This has been (to my mind, keeping in mind track events) one of the major downfalls of the platform. In addition to very serious quality issues - especially in the first few years of 350Zs. The second-generation FM-based vars have to be winners to demonstrate that Infiniti's success wasn't just a flash in the pan.

This reminded me to look up an spy pic I'd seen some time ago. This is an old spy pic, but one worth hanging on to. It's an IS350, rumored to be powered by a 4.6 liter engine. Keep in mind the new Lexus 4.6 DOHC engfine makes 375 horses. It was shot at the Nurburgring. Note the air extractors in the hood - this is a very tight engine compartment with the V-6, so the V-8 would have cooling challenges. And the weight balance a very important part of the dynamics equation - would be seriously upset. So this may not be a good choice - if it ever happens.
