Maxed out sedan vs coupe
If we put aside the obvious difference in the body style, what are the other differences between a maxed out sedan and a coupe? Here is what I could figure out:
1. Sedan does not have bi-xenon headlight (both, lowbeam and highbeam, HIDs)
2. Sedan gets less supportive front seats
3. Sedan may come with a full-size spare
4. Both trims come in slightly different color sets
Did I miss anything?

Bi-Xenons are only on the 06 coupe.
I don't know about the cars when fully loaded, but in base form the sedan weighs less than the coupe, except for the G35X.
Coupe:
AT- 3,505 lb
6MT- 3,524 lb
Sedan:
AT- 3,468 lb
6MT- 3,512 lb
AWD- 3,650 lb
The sedan also has a hair bit better weight distribution:
Coupe: 54/46 percent (front/rear)
Sedan: 53/47 percent (front/rear)
CD is also a hair better on the sedan:
Coupe: 0.29 (0.28 with Aero Package)
Sedan: 0.27 (0.26 with Aero Package)
All specs are from the infiniti website for the 06 models.

coupe you can fold down the backseats, sedans only have a pass through
sedans have in the premium pkg backseats are reclinable
sedans only come w/ 18s on sport package while coupe has 18" performance pkg wheels and 19" upgrades
Rear active steer available on coupes
6mt sedans and ALL coupes DO NOT get convenience of assisted exit/entry where the steering wheel moves up and seat slides back when you get in/out of the car.
also sedans in automatic premium have the rear center vents for the rear passengers, all coupes and 6mt sedans do not offer that

Did the sedan have sport suspension? My 03 sedan is much tighter than the 2006 G35X loaner I had the other day.

the sedan is more of a volume car than that coupe so the price will be marginally lower. and don't forget all cars were build on the same platform so it technically the coupe wasn't built right off a 350z design -- there' s a lot more to it
