IP '06 G35C at Willowdale

Took my car in for service this morning so I just loitered around the front of the stealership for a bit and spotted a white '06 coupe. The projectors look good...I like. Rear lamps look better than I expected too. So, who's car is it? Anyone here?

i went to price up an '06 and found something interesting:
-they have a 3 coat paint option... which i'm assuming will be a great help for rock chips
-your unable to select both the navigation and the rear active steer together. i'm assuming u can't get both if so... that would suck for those seeking both
-speed sensitive steering and the 15.1:1 steering ratio is only available with the rear active steer. why doesn't this come standard?? the one thing i hate most about my car is the lifeless non-linear steering response of the car. i thought it was fantastic that they finally corrected this on the 06... but now i notice that it doesn't come standard. why do manufacturers play games like this?
-bluetooth and intellikey looks standard across the board on all coupe trim levels even 6mt. not sure why people have been stating that intellikey is not available on 6mt... unless it's another infiniti blunder like the vlsd on the 05's.

The 3 coat process was there before, you have to get iton the Ivory Pearl and Serengeti sand. I had it on my glacier Pearl 02 Maxima also. I believe it is to give the extra depth on these colours and really is no improvement on rock chips.

if that's true... why not just include it on all colours? i think in the grand scheme of things 295$ msrp isn't that much for a 50k car. probably peanuts at the factory to do. how do u know those colours were 3 coat if u don't mind me asking?

If you go to build and design on infiniti.ca http://www.infiniti.ca/en/models/bui...delCode=G4TG76
and go through the color choices on that section, it will check off the 3 paint process charge for those two colours.
Also when we bought our G last year and I was considering the Ivory pearl they were going to charge more for the 3 step.
Hope that helps.

hey that's interesting. thanks for pointing it out. hmmmm... just noticed something else... the other colours don't seem to display an empty box for the 3 coat paint. i'm assuming it's not available on the other colours and it's an infiniti website blunder that u can check the option off by chance.

What's the visual difference b/w the 03-05 OEM spoiler and the 06?
Are the 03-05 spoilers just a tad longer? My eyes are failing me, couldn't really notice looking at pics

I'm not 100% sure, but when I placed my order for my 06 coupe, I saw "M6 Sport package => minus Intellikey" but I didn't see anything about the bluetooth though
