Completing the vision of the of earlier debuted G concept, Infiniti recently rolled out the redesigned 2007 G35 Sedan at the New York Auto Show.

Other little bits that will likely not see their way into the production model are the full-length glass roof, the speakers integrated into the headrests, and the purple instrument lighting. But the Coupe Concept's paddle shifters are said to be considered for the street going version.
