Well, I was leaning toward the G at first, but the more I've been looking into it the more I've been leaning toward the Z. I am definately one for performance, hence the Evo.

Z if you are more into performance and G if you are more into looks and comfort.

I have a track with factory leather. They just ordered the factory leather seat set material for about $800 and recovered the seats. I definitely recommend the combination of track and leather! Of course, the G leather is going to be much nicer (I imagine)

When the z came out, i wanted it but then changed my mind after finding out it was a two-seater. Eight months ago, I wanted an evo badly, then I wanted a g. Then one day, the z clicked in my head again. after sitting in it and test driving it, it was mine for sure.

Yeah I think the Grand Touring model will take care of that for me.

Since you already own a EVO sedan. Why settle for another G sedan. Get the Z and let your gf drive the grocery getter.

I was a little torn between the two at first because the G styling is very nice. The 350Z didn't "move" me as much as the '90 300ZX did back in the day (the first time I saw the 300ZX at the auto show, I knew instantly it was the car for me). I got the 350Z for the performance and because sport cars should not have back seats!!

If I could change anything about the 350Z, I would put the G35 tail-end (taillights, etc.) on the 350. This may sound odd, but the flat, horizontal styling of the G taillights look more like the old 240Z's and 300ZX's to me. I'm a little surprised that Nissan didn't maintain this styling cue on the 350Z.

Evo's are great looking cars, this is probably the second from the top favorite car of mine after a Z.

Are you keeping your Evo? Or you getting rid of it?

same story for me - was torn between the Z and G. test drove both and really enjoyed driving both - the Z however had more of a sports car feel to it which is what i wanted. I also didn't care much for the G interior, too cady like. the Z interior really goes with the whole theme of the car which i dont think is the case for the G - the moon roof is the only feature that can really tip the scale in favor of the G - I really wish the 06 Z came with moonroof, I would probably trade mine in
well given all that, i think my wallet made the decision for me at the end
hope this helps and good luck.

I guess I'm not hip to the times, I'm used to digital, but I guess that is too 80's. Guess the analog clock is where infinti is going towards. Fizzle my nizzle, Infiniti!

I'm most likely going to keep it. My wife is trying to decide if she can handle it on a daily basis or not. She wants to drive it, just not sure if she can.
