Will the G35 coupe be a classic one day?
Being that this car has a pretty good fanbase right now, and has had one since the beginning, do you see it someday being mentioned in the same sentence as other Japanese classics like the RX-7, Supra, 300ZX, etc.? Why or why not?

Yes and no,

Yes because it looks nice and clean from every angle.

No because you can't make any serious numbers with these motors like you can with the RX-7, Supra, 300zx, etc.

Nope, don't see it being a classic. That's not to say I'm not going to keep mine for a very long time though, heck I'm going to be on my 3rd G35 when I pick up my next one in two weeks.

I don't think looks alone are enough to make it a classic.

G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
I think the first gen has "classic lines". It will always stand out from other cars and will be instantly recognizable even in 20-30 years.

Whether that makes it a classic car, who knows.

I named those just off the top of my head. I don't know if down the road, we'll be talking about first gen G35 coupe like the previous generation would talk about 1960's muscle cars.

Doubt it. But, I always appreciate seeing an old car in pristine condition because by then there aren't many of them and it just says something about the owner/car relationship that I can't describe. If you like the car, take care of it, keep it for a long time regardless of what anyone thinks.

none of the Gs will be a classic... just another car (a good car in its class, but not a classic)...

The 350Z will be - it will follow the history of all previous classic Zs (240, 260, 280 - much more than the 300)...

and of course the GTR will be.

The 350z, in time will probably be the biggest and favored classic.

Doubt the G will be..

So what do you think the G is? The luxury version of the Z like the integra is to a civic? So we drive integras then.
