The last time our scoop photographers caught up with Infiniti engineers, they were driving a test mule of the next generation G sedan outfitted with the body of the current model.
Those days are gone as Infiniti is now trying out prototypes of the new G series with its production body, albeit camouflaged under a network of plastic wraps.
Nevertheless, we can make out several details such as the crescent-cut C-pillar that we’ve already seen on several concept as well as production models from Infiniti like the JX crossover, and the "angrier" face with the marque's new signature grille and stretched headlamps.
We'll have to wait for another encounter to get a glimpse of the interior, but we expect Infiniti to offer the new G with a redesigned dashboard and new tech goodies.
The latest word on the street is that Infiniti will offer the new G sedan with a range of four-cylinder turbocharged diesel and petrol engines sourced from Mercedes-Benz, as part of the extensive partnership between parent companies Renault-Nissan and Daimler, straight from launch. A V6 gasoline option will complete the range.
We still don't know, though, if the diesel units will be on offer in North America.
Infiniti officials have said that the G sedan will make its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show in 2013 and go on sale worldwide in spring of the same year.
The Coupe and Convertible models of the series will be next up on Infiniti's menu for the G series.

Those are sure some curves that baby's got! Front fascia seems to draw heavily on the M sedan as well.
I hope I'm wrong but between the new grill and the new crescent c pillar, I don't think I'm gonna like the new G. I've liked all the ones in the past but I'm afraid I won't like this one. I hope it turns out better than I expect.
I hope I'm just not seeing this right because it isn't looking that good. The bonnet looks particularly terrible.. Come on Nissan, don't screw up the G....
its only been 2 and the second one looked alot like the first one whats your point???
It has definitely shrunk.
I made my point. Read it again.
There have been 4 different G models if you count the G20 sold from 1990 to 2002.
you dont have a point is what im saying the first 2 were very similar, why wouldnt you like them this one in profile looks just like the current one as well, I imagine Infiniti will add some of the overstyled details that are on the M and otherwise leave the car to look agan just like the last one...
the sedan has never looked that good anyway, the coupe is the only G thats really worth looking at it
I'm just saying that if the new G has the grill and c pillar of the JX, I probably wont like it. To me the G is a sport sedan and if Infiniti overstyles the car and puts that grill and c pillar on the car, it won't look like a sport sedan. I'm not saying it has to look like an SRT Charger or anything but I would like it to look sportier than I think it's going to look. I do hope it looks good as I've always liked the G35 and 37. I guess we'll see when they get the camo off.
Consideration: This could be the next Nissan Skyline V37. 2014 Nissan Skyline...
Finally, been waiting for this G for 7 years now. Still love my g35 coupe.
It is the V37.
I thought the current V36 was introduced 6 years ago in 2006, not 7. Did you see it a year before it came out?
