Definatley get the coupe. Youll love it. If you are taking friend/family around, the backseat is fine. I've sat back there hundreds of times and its convertible (unless your tall). The looks are much better and so is the performance. The only thing that you should consider is the client issue. If you are going to be taking 3 other people everytime you might want to consider the sedan. If its mostly just one person maybe 2-3 sometimes then definately get the coupe.

My mother has been in real estate for over 20 years now. You will regret not taking the sedan if that is your plan. Hauling clients, signs, and all the other crap around will not be practical with a coupe. Sure the coupe looks nicer, but that is the only thing better. The sedan will be much better for what you are getting into. Believe me, people still notice how the sedan looks

how is this possible when the sedan and coupe share the same engine (05+) and the sedan weighs less? driver's race with the same transmissions between the two body styles

If you look up the nubmers on edmunds, the base coupe weighs about 50 pounds more than the base sedan...my guess the stock LSD on the coupe and reinforced body added some of the extra weight on the coupe...

BTW, arround UCLA...i've seen 2 sedans, but a bazillion coupes...

The sedan with the aero kit has a slightly lower coefficient of drag! Not sure what Gs cost in the USA but up here the sedan is a few thousand cheaper. Also, I noticed that the 05s sedans have more headroom... a major consideration when you're 6'5". I recall being able to fit in the 04 coupes, though I've never actually rode in one.

From what I've read, they're essentially the same car in terms of build quality and performance. The coupe's sound sportier though. That's not to say that the sedan doesn't sound great. Most people will say the coupe is the better looking car. I agree that they're great from just about every angle. However I like the sedan just as much. Probably why I bought one. Either way, you can't go wrong.

You guys are all getting me more and more excited haha. I went to the dealer again today on the way back from work, and the guys at metro could not have been more helpful. Thumbup for Metro Infiniti in Duarte, CA. They even have the G35 in Lakeshore Slate for both Coupe and Sedan! Makes the decision that much harder!

Metro Infiniti is where I got my G too, did he show you the lakeshore sedan with the wheat interior? The saleman gave us a ride in that setup to pick up my sedan. It looked nice, my sister though it looked better than the DG sedan I drove off with. But yeah, those guys there are great, also knowing the sales manager will help later down the rode atleast for me...

Thanks for your help ahead of time
I bought a sedan because I wanted an X (4WD).
without this need I will definitely have bought a coupe.
plus the coupe is 300HP vs 280 for the sedan
