Default test drove the G35 coupe

OMG WHAT AN AWSOME CAR!!!!! let me just say i have a Z on order coming in the end of the month. I believe i will be canceling it. the g35 is much more roomy back seat are totally usable. sunroof. leather seats and leather on the doors, dash, everywhere. that move up down front and back. i believe they are 8 way power plus manual tilting back. radio rocks. did i say sunroof????? this car inside is way nicer than the Z. the outside the Z is nicer. but im not sure its worth being confortable. the infiniti dealer had 7 in stock. all for sale!!!!! white blue black light silver darksilver. I HAVE PICTURES. I NEED TO RECHARGE THE BATTERY ON MY CAMERA. I WILL PUT THEM ON IN ABOUT AN HOUR.

one other thing i finaly saw the PPW Z it is 100% pearl white metalic

thats great, the Z is not for everyone, some people prefer interior comforts vs the sports car appeal. I was unaware of leather on the door tho. but I didnt really look.

glad to see you made the choice.

350z is better, just an opinion, although i've only seen the g35 in a magazine but if you like backseats and sunroof over having a better performing, more classic, better looking car, go for it

Saw one in the company parking lot on Friday. Almost walked right by it before realizing what it was. This car more or less gets lost in the sea of similar vehicles. Not much curb appeal in my opinion. My Z on the other hand is still getting the jaw drops and as for the interior, everyone that's been in it has been totally impressed.

Big choice for most people, but for me 350Z!
Want room buy G35
Want fun, speed, jaw drops buy 350Z!

Fact

that is true, the G35 coupe from the front appears to be a sedan to the untrained eye. you will not turn heads with its design, it isnt "edgy"

very nice looking no doubt about it, but so is the ES300 and the RSX and many others, dont expect people to walk up to you and ask you about it tho. its just one of many coupe versions of a sedan, BMW makes one, no one gives them a second look.

Hehe.. I went to the BMW dealer today because my father wanted to purchase an M3 SMG Convertible. When I drove in, EVERYONE came to look at my car... Literally 20-30 people, customers and salespeople all broke away from the Bimmers to come look at the Z. I had it side by side w/ a Porsche 911 Carrera 4, sorry but that car looks UGLY next to the Z... And the M3 my dad ended up buying? I still think the Z looks better, the M3 looks dated compared to it. The Z really does have curb appeal... Can't wait till I get my 19" TE37's put on, and the Nismo kit early next spring...

I'm sorry but there's nothing nice looking about the es300, that thing looks worst than the camry it's based on. Having seen the G35 Coupe in person at the dealer I can asure you it's gonna get more looks than an RSX and es300 combined.

Is that a Silverstone G? With those wheels all I can do is repeat the Z's slogan "words fail." With all the variables as they are, I could easily swing that way. But I'm sticking with the Z since it's almost here.

I JUST WANT THOSE 7-SPOKE INFINITI WHEELS on my Z, and I'll be happier than a guy who eats a box of chocolates, finds out they are frogs with their skeletons and organs and everything, and then finds out they're only simulated frogs and is really relieved he didn't eat any actual frogs, because not only are frogs gross and slimy, but he's allergic to most amphibians. And that's pretty happy.

its not silverstone but looks like it. i think it was diamond silver but i forgot. those are factory 18" wheels they come standard with the 6 speed. or you can get the upgrade with the auto. i believe the option is 650. man the car looks bad as hell

oh one bad thing is the car with all the options and NAV its $37,500 but the interior man what an upgrade. I do like the outside of the Z. i just wish they made the inside of it look more like the G35. the seats are way more confortable. more adj. on movement. and the interior is just more plush. but i do know the Z will turn more heads.

MY car is due in end of the month and now im really going crazy cuz i like the G35 alot.

Oh crap, I wouldn't get the NAV then. It's cool, but I'm just too cheap. The Enthusiast Z is going to be 31k+ after tax & license. Yet if I still had a job, the G would be looking even nicer
