| Sporty and Sensual Styling
The new Infiniti G's vibrant design begins as an evolution of the original's, with its long, wave-like hood, pushed back A-pillars and athletic stance. It is clean, simple and projects a balance of power and grace that is suggestive of the performance potential within.
The front of the new Infiniti G is highlighted by its L-shaped headlights and dramatic Infiniti signature grille with sculpted horizontal blades that were inspired by traditional Japanese swords. High Intensity Discharge (HID) bi-xenon headlights are standard, while an Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS), which automatically controls the headlight lighting pattern according to steering angle and vehicle speed to help provide better visibility at night, is optionally available.
The G's silhouette offers a wedged roofline and a sweeping bodyside character line that emphasizes both the rich shoulder surfaces and the G's rear-wheel drive orientation.
In the rear, the refined, evolutional L-shaped LED taillights express the G heritage and the Infiniti design identity. The trunk lid is accented by an integrated spoiler, while prominent dual exhaust outlets complete the sporty appearance.
2007 Infiniti G35 Sport models offer a unique front fascia and side sills. A full rear spoiler is also available. The Sport models also include standard 18-inch, aluminum-alloy wheels (versus 17-inch on non-Sport models).
"The 2007 G Sedan is a little leaner and athletic in its proportions, as well as more polished and detailed than the previous version," said Igo. "There's an alluring quality that's more prominent in this generation, a quality that is equally matched in the refined interior."
A Crafted Interior Environment
The new Infiniti G's interior is designed to create a harmony between its dedicated driver's cockpit and comfortable passenger space - and between modern technology and traditional Japanese design cues. The result is a "modern warmth" that is unique in the sport sedan segment.
"Traditionally, there have been two schools of thought in sport sedan interiors - cold, machine-like precision or soft, indulgent luxury,"said Igo. "In the new G, we've found a way to thoroughly engage the driver, while embracing passengers with finely crafted hospitality."
The driver's space of the new 2007 Infiniti G has a scooped out form and a simple, intuitive layout. The instrument panel features Fine Vision gauges with a new white-and-violet illumination. White is used for the most important information because it provides the highest contrast, while violet - a traditional Japanese representation of royalty - is used as an accent color.
A center information display, which is located between the tachometer and speedometer and conveys updates from the drive computer (average fuel consumption, average speed, elapsed time, running distance, distance to empty and outside air temperature, warning displays, odometer and automatic transmission shift indicator) uses red illumination.
Another detail that has roots in Japanese design is the new Infiniti G's "Washi"-style textured aluminum-alloy accents. Washi is a form of elegant, handmade Japanese paper. The aluminum trim pieces are located on the center console, across the instrument panel and on the door panels.
