Cool SPY SHOTS of Z/G35 at marketing/driving event

Found on bimmer.org. When the G35 first debuted in March, I thought it was extremely sexy and maybe even a better visual than the Z. Look at the pic of the Z and G35 together. Without a beauty shot, the G35 is a bit plain, whereas the Z KILLS with it's sexy stance.

you are right, The G coupe looked great at the auto show, but that looks like a stripped down base model plain vanilla car.

Is the front end of the G35 sedan the same as the coupe? because I saw a sedan and it looked like every other japanise sedan.

Is it me or does the daytona blue Z look a lot darker in this pic compared to other pics. Shadow is definately a factor but even then it seems closer to midnight blue in this pic.

The G coupe sorta reminds me of a Honda Accord coupe. Not that the Honda is a bad looking car but, I thought the G coupe looked a bit more unique in it's glamour shots.

You guys did see the link under the photo for the rest of the pics and thread on bimmer.org, right? Anyone notice the Pike's Peak White Touring in the background of pic #4?

17" wheels or not, that G35 looks really weak next to the Z.

The G35c looks just like the sedan, imo.

when I saw the picture of the coupe in the car show, it looks stunning! With all the gloss, and shining chrome, etc.
But now I see it outside, it looks just plain. If you seen the back, it can't compare with the Z. 350Z all the way baby!!

I agree, i think the G35c would look a lot better with the 18 inch wheels, and i bet it would look great with a spoiler, but the Z is much more eye grabbing overall.

As stated before, the 350Z has a love it or hate it appearance. Obviously, everyone on here is going to love it, that's a given. With that said, compare it to any car and all of you will pick the Z's appearance, duh. The Infiniti is a more upscale car and has to appeal to more people, as the Z appeals to the enthusiast.

Oh, and these pictures were taken through a tinted window, so the colors are definitely off.
