Comments on 2003 model: The mid-size luxury sedan from Infiniti carries the 3.5-liter V6 used in G35 plus a four-speed automatic transmission. Nose and tail show subtle styling refinements and seats in the five-place cockpit now feature plush Sojourner leather. More wood-tone trim applies to the center console and there's a new color option with Diamond Graphite. Bright electro-florescent analog gauges for speedometer and tachometer stand out with legible faces, and an analog clock is in the dash. Also aboard is a 200-watt Bose audio system.
