She just got home with it like 5 minutes ago. Its a 2017 with the 3.7 and awd. Hopefully she likes it, seems like a nice step up from the juke. The interior was pretty much what got us hooked on it. It's for like chestnut brownish red leather interior. It's made its way into our top parking spot.





The yaris got straight up moved into the grass in the back yard for now.

The Q is nice, I was tempted but didn't want a payment. In a few months I'll get some wheels for the G. Nothing special, just 19x9.5 all around with 245/40-19

Another case of "Where have I been?" When did you get a G, Len? Sedan or coupe? Details, man, we need details! (Or I need to go back read some more.... haha!)

That's a good reason Infiniti should name their models more distinctly. Differentiating the model by a couple of nearly related characters confuses buyers.

Excellent! Great combination, L!

Before I bought my Z34N in '11, was debating the V36 G37 Coupe strongly, but the Sport 6MT was just not available! All slushboxes. Nissan dealer nearby had our "second choice" Z car inbound, unsold, and available so that was that. Pure luck and good timing!

I gave up and just ordered new wheels and tires today, probably take a few weeks to come in. Went with a very conservative choice after I test fit one of the factory rays. Went with an inch narrower an inch smaller and 5mm difference on the offset.

17x7.5+38 enkei tuning wheels. 215/55/17 (stock sized tires)
Oem wheels are 17x7+47

Ill post some pictures when they make it on the car.

Thanks for helping me understand the basics of wheel buying...

applying things I've learned on this site hopefully I'll get the fitment im looking for.

Still would have been cool to find another set.
