Yes, I prefer how the sedan drives to the coupe as well.

Anyway your g35 vs g37 comparison disappoints me -- as I cannot afford a G37
So the chassis seems like it is definitely a different platform...or is it just simple braces & suspension... or is that wishful thinking?
dang I really really like the g35 but all these SUV comments...man...
and I should definitely take one out for a test drive... but ultimately I think I may be just picking hairs and would need to take it to the track to really get a feeling...Anyone wanna let me borrow their G35 for a day?

But yes, the platform is much improved with a quoted 40% stiffness improvement. Still... I think w/ some good carefully chosen mods a g35 coupe will hold it's own in ride/handling.

wow 40% thats pretty huge... so we are talking a probably entirely different platform or a very modified one, I wonder if the dimensions are the same as the G35

BTW - the G37 = not much to brag about... It was way less than stellar - I was expecting sooo much more from that car.
I'd recommend a 2nd gen sedan - over all of them... or a used first gen sedan or coupe (depending on your taste).
