I was browsing through the latest issues of the car mags over the weekend. In one of the write-ups on the new G series coupe, it mentioned the 3.7 liter V-6 engine would find its way into the M35. Has anyone heard anything further about upgrading the engine in the M35, perhaps for the 2008 model year? If so, any idea whether Infiniti will offer a 6-speed automatic? Thanks Bruce

I saw in Road and Track magazine that the new 2008 G coupe will have the 3.7 liter engine, however I did not see anywhere that it will carry over to the M. Has anyone else heard anything? I test drove a 2007 M35X a while back and I liked it a lot. Although, I wouldn't mind a little more power. I did not spend any time on the highway with the car so I am greatly concerned about what I hear from many posts that the car revs too high in 5th (over 3000 rpm at 70MPH. This is unacceptable. My Honda Pilot with 240 horsepower revs around 2200 at 80MPH. I used to have a 1991 Honda Prelude that revved high in 5th. The noise on a trip from Pittsburgh to Chicago (8hrs) would beat me up so much that I finally got rid of the car for this reason. The Infiniti is supposed to be a luxury car in addition to being a sport sedan. If a 50K luxury car can't provide a similar level of comfort on a long trip as my pilot does I don't want it. So I hope they change the engine and do something with the 5th gear, perhaps add an extra one. Infiniti I hope you are listening!!!

| someone reported that Infiniti has trademarked "M37". Since they now have a 3.7L engine, it follows that at some point, it is likely that this engine, or some variation, will show up in the M. 2008 models is a good guess, but we do not know for sure. | |

Replying to: ocim (Apr 09, 2007 5:37 pm) I stopped by the newsstand this evening. The mention of the new 3.7 engine possibly going into the M was in the May issue of Motor Trend, page 56, first paragraph (which is a continuation from the previous page). Bruce

Does anybody know when the switch over happens between ordering a 2007 and 2008? My wife and I are talking with our local dealer about ordering an M35 Sport and figure if they can order a 2008 soon we will just hold off a bit.

| I just picked up my 2007 M35 Sport and they told me 2008 won't be in until September. If you can find a 2007 you want in stock with the options you want in the color you want you can get the car at Invoice - -I'd think that will be harder to pull off with the 2008's. | |
The dealer indicates there will be a fair number of changes to the M-series for 2008, with maybe the biggest in the M45x. Said more aggressive styling and new wheels.
