I35 is carried over for 2004 with some updates

Infiniti I35 Luxury Performance Sedan

The popular I35 sedan, introduced as a new model for the 2002 model year, receives several additions for 2004, including standard sunroof, power rear sunshade and body side sills on all models. It continues to offer outstanding performance from its 255-horsepower 3.5-liter V6, 4-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission and standard Traction Control System (TCS). The I35 also features elegant styling and a fully equipped luxury interior.

Enhancements to the 2004 I35 include:
·New exterior color – Desert Platinum
·Standard sunroof, power rear sunshade and side sills

I don't see any I35 replacement coming. The I35 is, first off, based off the previous generation Maxima, and is much too soft of a car.

And to replace it with something sporty, i.e. rear wheel drive, would be redundant due to the G35.

These are all points that have been made more or less though.

I'm pretty sure the 2004 will be the last model year for the I35. The M45/35 will be based of a stretched G35 platform, so a M35 can easily replace the I35. They're just carrying the I35 one more year to fill the gap until the M45 gets redesign.
