Is the G yet another boy-racer type of a car?

The more I read G-related forums the more I think that the G has the image of a boy-racer car. Definitely not like a Civic or an Eclipse but more like an STi, an EVO8, or IS300. Am I right in this observation? The "Teen G35 Owners Raise Your Hands!" thread seems to confirm it. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I understand that if I create a poll trying to determine the age distribution it would not be representative just because older G owners usually do not participate in forum type communications as much as the younger drivers do. But I'm still gonna give it a try.

DISCLAIMER: No pun or offense intended to anybody!

20 year old college student/full-time detailer who wanted to upgrade from an Accord. Rarer (at least around here) than basically anything in its class except the CTS (which my mom owns) and out-performs basically all of them except the new 3-series (but, considering the new G is one its way, that's not a fair comparison) in most aspects. Rarer + performance + upgrade + quality made my decision. The other primary choice was a CTS, but for the 3.6L it was even more expensive than the G.

Wait a year or two when the used G's are hitting up the sales floor, riced out G's, especially coupes are going to explode. When I went to go buy my G my dad wouldn't stop bugging me about getting the coupe, but I was set on the sedan because IMO it looks better than the coupe.

But yeah, I find the coupe to fall under the boy ricer and mid life crisis catagory.

I agree with the "Boy Racer", but I DEFINATELY dont agree with the "Boi Ricer" image.

How can anyone say it has a ricer image? Cmon its not like its a POS car that anyone can get a hold off.

The day I see a ricer G, I will seriously destroy it, then kill myself. Dont be surpriced if that same day the world ends.


I hope the new G's are around average 2k more expensive to stay safe; I dont mind that as long as the price makes up for performance and looks.

Alot of fortunate teens are lucky enough to have been given a G.. Except most of them come on the boards thinking clear corners are the hottest mods ever.. then expect to beat Evo's and STi's =X

Well I am 24 years old soon to be 25. I do not live at home and am a Veteran of the Armed Forces. I never really been a ricer or into cars that much and owned a Saturn for four years before purchasing my G Coupe. I bought it because I think it is a sweet a$$ ride and decided to do something for myself. I plan on adding some upgrades but I will never rice it out or anything like that.
