They should make the hs look like that standard and I am right on the line with the way the HS looks (they do look far better than that acura grill). One thing I can say is that "light blue" color did not do any justice to the look of the HS.

Body colour or black looks great, chrome looks cheap to me.

Infiniti has their hybrid coming to market soon 2012 Infiniti M35 Hybrid Confirmed for Production; New M Line at Tokyo as Fuga - Wide Open Throttle - Motor Trend Magazine

The Infiniti system seems to be more robust than the HSD, with a lith-ion and can move the car up 62 mph on battery alone.
