Why is the glove box behind the seat?
Well, the real question I guess, is what prevented a glove box from being put below the passenger side dash like most cars have? What resides in that area? I know the airbag is up top, but what is directly below that?

I think that it was a last minute decision....
"Hey guys, we forgot to factor in a glove compartment"
"Uh, oh yeah... hmm, there is enough room for one behind this seat."
Just kidding, I really don't know why.

what i read
i read somewhere, i believe in a book i bought, that since they pushed the engine back towards the passenger compartment, they didnt have room for the glove box in the traditional location.
i guess they still had room for a glove box in the g35 because it is a longer car?
anyways, that is what i read.

share more parts with the RHD version. engine took room, airbag.
and between all that, if it was up front itd be the biggest joke of a glove box ever, the one we got is 10x bigger than any glove box in cars these days.
as I remember it the G35 sedan actually has 2 pretty useless compartments there...

I like the finish of the dash w/o the glove box actually. I guess if I used the cup holder I might appreciate it more. It just would have been nice to have a small compartment in the dash for quick, easy access items. Anyway...I love this car!
