(autoinsidernews) - The 2008 Infiniti G35 Coupe will be nearly identical to the Infiniti Coupe Concept that was unveiled earlier this year at the Detroit Auto Show, said Nissan senior vice president and design director Shiro Nakamura. With one possible change. The front fascia of the car is likely to be less pointed and the crease in the center of the front bumper will be eliminated, reworked or softened, said Nakamura, reports Trend.
People are talking about the point, he says of the apex of the concepts front fascia. I think pointed is not our intention. He said Infinitis designs are meant to be more rounded, and the final version of the G35 Coupe will reflect the brands design language. Clearly inspired by the same design cues, the 2007 G35 Sedan has a less angular nose with the front bumper crease being very subtle.
The 2008 Infiniti G35 Coupe is expected to debut in the U.S. next spring.
Nakamura said that Infiniti has no plans to follow Acura and establish a U.S design studio. While Nissan has design studios in the U.S., all Infiniti models will continue to be designed in Japan.
