There aren’t a lot of revolutionary changes to the 2010 G sedan, but the new look up front — the back remains unchanged — is beefier than before. It looks more like the new M sedan and even the FX crossover. We’re not sure why it needed the change and aren’t sure it’s a real improvement, either.

What is a welcome change is the G getting Infiniti’s upgraded navigation system, which has better graphics and maps and more in-depth entertainment options. The company also says the interior gets “refinements” but we’re not sure what those are exactly.

The 2010 G coupe and convertible will get similar refinements but won’t see any changes to the exterior.

The new sedan goes on sale Dec. 17, with the coupe also going on sale this month. The convertible will go on sale in February. More photos of the sedan below.
