G25 aka as 250GT in Japan has already been there but only N/A form. The picture is of new G37 sedan coming now...but FI version looks interesting provided the news is correct

coming to IS....we cant compare IS300 to G35 but what should be done is IS350 is on par with G35 in performance..I know few people who brought the IS350 here and loved it...there is not that much fuel difference its just we grade differently here. Our octane 98 is 95 in US as far as I know

The IS350 would definitely blow the G35 away. The G37 is a better match for the IS350 and truth be told the Lexus boys are falling behind in the G vs IS race. they need to pull their socks up to keep up with the G37.

Back to IS...
From what i have read, the sulphur in the fuel here is more which causes some damage to the internals of the IS350. which is why they have decided to bring the IS300 here.

The rating is definitely different but fuel is of lower quality here.

Also, whatever I read on the internet has not always been true

one guy is using IS350 for almost 10 months now...no issues with the sulphur thingy

Sulphur build-up is a longterm thing. It won't cause problems till way later down the line.

If you want quality you need to try Shells V-power...!!

Infiniti all the way (for me). The VQ35 and 37s are one of the best engines out there.

Well, chalk it up to a spotty cell connection with our source in Japan, or the din of the Detroit auto show floor, jet lag or just plain stupidity, but we got a fact wrong in that report. No excuses. We screwed up and we regret it.

After two days of further research and many calls to Japan, it turns out we were 90 percent right. Here's the absolute truth.

Infiniti will launch a smaller-engined version of its G sedan this fall and the entry-level model will be called the G25. There is no doubt about that. It is a fact. And the car will absolutely use the 2.5-liter V6 Nissan uses in the Japan-market Skyline 250GT (The Infiniti G is sold in Japan as the Nissan Skyline.)

The mistake we made is saying that the engine is turbocharged. It is not. It isn't in the Skyline in Japan and it won't be in the G25. It is a normally aspirated DOHC engine, which is rated at 210 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque in Japan. That's enough to be competitive with the 3.0-liter inline-6 in the BMW 328i, which is rated at 230 hp and 200 lb-ft and it's a little stronger than the strong-selling Lexus IS 250, which is rated at 204 hp and 185 lb-ft.

At launch, the smaller V6 will be in the G sedan only and it will be sold alongside the also naturally aspirated V6-powered G37. The idea is that the lower entry price and improved fuel economy of the 2.5-liter engine will give Infiniti more head-on competition for the popular BMW 328i.

As of now, a G25 coupe and convertible are not planned, but if sales are brisk on the G25 sedan, both will happen.

And now you know the real truth. I personally apologize to every Inside Line reader for the previous error.

Enjoy!

LOL.. i was thinking tht as well...why they will take a risk for sales of GTR

What a load of horse shit!! Got excited for no reason....
And I don't see why the GTR sales would get effected. GTR is a completely different niche of cars.
Any mojo these days can turbo a car..wether it came stock from the dealership with turbo's or without...
anyways, it still looks like a promising platform...lets see what happens when it hits the market!!
