Will the G35 sedan be a classic one day?
you never really know.
If people knew that the very first 60's mustangs/camaros in mint condition would sell for crazy amounts 40 years later everyone would of gotten one and cleaned it daily.
A pinto is a classic in its own way...
i say the car will be a well respected car in the future, but I dont know about a classic

The 2007 G sedan has a shot at it, but frankly, the 03-06 just don't have enough visual personality. However, I enjoy the subtle good looks and the way it drives.
Nobody really goes to a car show for how it drives, otherwise, they'd be full of Miatas. They go to see something that's visually stunning, rare and unique, or expensive. Our cars have very little little of that.
I didn't buy this car to be noticed, I bought it so that I could disappear into the crowd, since it's easier to get away with spirited driving that way.

Yes, there are good mods that can stand out, but that ain't a classic, it's a seperate creation.

Generally speaking, three criteria must be met for a vehicle to become collectible or considered a "classic":
It must be relatively rare - some degree of limited availability, or out of production...
It must be (or have been) significant within the genre - some noteworthy element of design, performance, panache, industry awards, etc... or a pleasing combination thereof...
It must be desirable, when in production and thereafter...
Consider, as an example, the Jaguar XKE... It aptly demonstrates all the above attributes.
I might suggest that the G35 coupe (rather than the sedan) has the possible potential to find itself in that category - of course, I refer to those unmolested (no mods) factory original examples with low to modest mileage (remember what brings top dollar at Barret-Jackson).
Other variables will impact the collectible/classic market in years to come as well - not the least of which will be fluctuations in the economy, the further restrictions on fossil fuel powered vehicles, and the passage of time itself.
Be patient; the future may well surprise you.

and saying "no"
I think he means rare at the time of being considered a classic... '65 Mustangs aren't as common anymore...
edit. Sedan thread not coupe..
Anyways, another reason for "no" is simply just look compare the cars shown on OverHalin' and West Coast Customs. LOL
OverHalin' does some nice work. West Coast Cumtoms lol. hahah
