Man... I couldn't have said it better....kudos.

 

How is the 350 not as economical buying vs the 325XI or 330 XI, I know for sure the 330XI cost considerably more than a 350 and I am sure the 325 one does as well. I prefer the the look of the 350 I just dont lke the long wheelbase/look of the G35C the wheels look too far aprt for the design. Also from the side it looks to plain IMO,the 350 just looks better giving the G35 an advantage from the rear.

 

I love both cars, but the Z has much better after market potential for those of us who like to mod. If I were rich, I'd have one of each.

 

You can lease a new 325i for $299 a month. That's a lot cheaper than a Z.

 

Nope, sorry.

I have never received so many looks, double-takes, stares, and strangers driving up beside me and yelling how much they like my car over the traffic noise in any other car that I have either owned or driven. It's amazing how much this car turns heads.

My next-door neighbor has a G35. The first time I saw it I thought "what an ugly car". Of course, he had it parked front-first in his driveway and all I could see was the plain-jane ugly rear end.

The G is a great car. But the Z blows it away in sexiness.

 

To the original poster...it's all a matter of preference. The G35 is a nice car. But, don't come in here and tell a bunch of Z fanatics that our car isn't as good as a G35...geez...what were you thinking?!?!?!

 

the z is sexier. the g is often referred to as "classier". translation: watered down styling. if i was over 40 though i would definitely buy the g over the z. the z has more personality, but flashiness is a less desirable feature for older buyers, probably. if you post to any predominantly female message board to ask them which they prefer (styling-wise) they will overwhelmingly favor the z. so it's a better car for single guys

 

Actually the 325XI and the 330XI are both a better economical choice than the 350z. Let's see now I have a 03 350z & a 03 Mitsubishi Outlander LS AWD combined that's about $55,000 in cars in one year. If I would have bought either BMW since they both are already AWD I could have sold my SUV and just had 1 car payment. Instead I have 2 car payments a month and I can't afford to get rid of my SUV because of my climate.

I noticed you live in Texas, well I'm pretty sure you don't get much snow there. Needless to say where I live my Z will be in storage for the majority of the winter, and I won't be getting to work without a 4 wheel or all wheel drive vehicle. Also if you look it up the 325XI is about the same price as a mid level 350z, granted the 330XI costs about $42,000 though

 

yes your suspicions that 'chofer' is a misspelling are well warranted ('chauffeur'). but i agree, i have a four door car and one of the appealing characteristics of the z is its two seat design. i'd love to be able to tell everyone "sorry, two-seater" before the debate about who's going to drive even starts.

 

the Z has a much more radical design to it. a much more futuristic and pronounced shape. the G35 is a 4 seater!! that is hardly the definition of a sports car. the best sports cars in the world are ALWAYS 2 seaters my friend.

 

oh yeah. and that original poster is an idiot. coming into the forum talking sh*t about Z's. how stupid is that. maybe he's trying to start something. anyway, thats about as smart as him talking sh*t about marines and then coming to my base......haha. we wouldnt be so nice as you all on here.

 

if i had the luxury of switching cars anytime i am pleased I would most likely give the G35 a try without a doubt. I think that G35 has much cleaner lines, but most likely is appealing to the older crowd. The two seater is more of a refreshed look for a sports car where it brings out more desire in owners for performance tune ups. I rarely see G35 marketing anything besides rims.

grow up hillbilly
when u have or ever will have the pleasure of owning both cars and going by the list of his previously owned automobiles I wouldn't even run your mouth!

 

I only see old men and women driving G35's in NJ....and I probably see 20 a day. Not a rare car at all.

 

I love them both. But I think the Z looks sportier and to me a bit sexier, like a little european sports car.

The G35 is great too, I see alot of girls driving the G...they are more practical than us men types.

So...I REALLY love both, but the Z just does it for me, it looks quite a bit better imho.

 

Yea the two-seater factor is definitely a plus for me. I really don't like driving people around so i'm happy with that. Like many have said on this board, its all about preference. Z owners shouldn't knock on the G and G owners should respect the Z. Cuz in the end we all got kick *** cars.

 

Now I get it, I was referring to if you had one car!

 

I like both G35c and Z(more to Z). G35c is good looking car, but it feels more luxury than sporty. Also the taillights on G35 just not match to the car. When they are on, they look like the eyes of Sony Aibo.

 

The wanted a sports car for modding. This is the car to do it with.

 

That was pretty freaking rude. Sounds to me like somebody else needs to grow up.

Anyway, I think it's funny as hell that this obvious troll comes on here trying to start trouble and he gets mainly intelligent, well-reasoned, civilized replies! Notice he hasn't posted again? It probably pissed him off & he went to a lesser board to stir up trouble.

Well-done, people!

 

He has posted here quite a bit and...well nevermind.
