Base Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Prices* (M.S.R.P.) are being repositioned to reflect the product hierarchy with the higher content 2014 Infiniti Q50 – which will go on sale this week at Infiniti retailers nationwide.
"The introduction of the Q50 with its distinctive design, engaging performance, world's first technologies and unmatched levels of connectivity and personalization, enables us to pursue a two-pronged strategy, said Infiniti Americas Vice President Ben Poore. "It creates room to strategically offer the repositioned G37 at the lower end of the near luxury segment in addition to the higher-positioned Q50. The two vehicles aim at different market segments and allow us to serve different customer needs."
Two models of the Infiniti G37 Sedan will continue to be produced, the G37 Sedan Journey and G37 Sedan AWD. Only two options will be available, the Premium and Navigation Packages.
The significantly streamlined and focused G37 product lineup is a key driver of the price repositioning. The adjusted base Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Prices (MSRP)* for the 2013 Infiniti G37 Sedan are:

The G37 was an amazing machine - I had the 2010 G37S. I think they are shooting themselves in the foot - why purchase the Q50? Have the same engine for $4,000 less...
 
Interesting strategy. Me thinks they had lots of surplus around, so you might as well build them, right?
 
They've gone off the wall over there. Wtf are these people doing? Let's redesign the G, change the name, but still sell the old G with the old name.

"I see you have the 2014 G37, well I​ have the 2014 Q50."

Now that you mention it - it could be the strategy of having the G25 and G37 - in this case the G37 would be the intro model.
 
Then name it the 2014 Q40 or my OCD is going to kick in.
 
Relax, GM did this in 2007 when they launched the new Sierra.

They continued to build the "Classic" model (a 2006 model sierra) for about 6 months.

They are only doing it to reduce the number of left-over parts they have. Surplus inventory is a logistical nightmare and its terrible for a companies bottom line.
