Default Infinity...

It looks more like an Aston Martin... but the back reminds me of the crossfire.

It saddens, and hurts, to see such beauty coming our of a city not named "Detroit"

The car is both supple and amazing in apperance.

agreewith the crossfire apperance from the rear.

"Firepower" comes to mind as well.

Side view reminds me of a Jag.

Not a fan of that little mini spoiler lip they do.

looks like they stole the Firepower design to me. They're good at that. What exactly is it?

I would agree about the Jag. Love that look.

Yeah, this came out along with Infinity say they are going to create a lineup from economical to what they referred to as 'halo' ... which is what this will be, the halo model. Halo being the high end of course.

Such an un-politically correct and hate mongering moniker. What could they possibly be thinking?

Absolutely beautiful car, tho.

I think we would be hard pressed to find any car that looked like this ever coming from Detroit. It is too European (Japanese?) looking.
Frankly the cars coming from Detroit were for the mass market and this is not a mass market car. The cars from Detroit had to be have large sales, nothing wrong with that but what we got was not inspired.
The new Mustangs, Camaros and Challengers appeal to nostalgia and that only goes so far these days. Had this type of styling been used on these cars and the price was right they could have done better.

Beautiful...sort-of. It's the Infiniti Essence Concept, introduced at Geneva 2009. It has a gasoline and electric combined output of 592 horsepower! You can read more about it here: Essence Concept

Those rear taillights look too much like jap slant eyes for my taste.

Halo status is reached when most people look at the price and say "Holy cr@p".

I think it is a beautiful care.... yes it does make me think of the 'Firepower'..... I will never be able to afford one.... beside, I do have an SRT6..

What is politically incorrect or 'hate mongering' about 'Firepower" ?? It is just a word.

Can't really argue your points Dave. Check out the Crossfire concept and then, look at the Sebring grill.

Agreed. Not the best marketing moniker. I would assumeit was a "project" title.
The Ad guys would have givin it a more supple name like... oh ... I dunno, ...like Crossfire.

OK now you have gone and done it

I agree 100% John. That is one of the most beautiful cars I have ever seen. I owned an Infinity Q45 and it was one of the best cars I have ever had. The ownership experience was second to none.
