I just don't get the point of the article. (Probably because I skimmed through it.) But what does the Scion TC have to do with the G35?
Oh well, don't really care.

To Infiniti And Beyond, Or Not
Generally speaking, we prefer coupes over sedans because we live lonely lives in a constant search for sexual companionship and don't have families to lug around. Therefore, all other things being equal (and they never, ever are), we prefer Infiniti's upcoming G35 coupe to the G35 sedan that's already on sale. The two-door goes on sale this fall.
Though it's missing two doors, the rear-drive coupe sits on the same 112.2-in. wheelbase as the sedan. But the coupe is 3-in. lower than the sedan and 4.3-inch shorter in length. In the nose sits the increasingly ubiquitous Nissan dohc, 24-valve 3.5-liter V6, in this case rated at 275 hp (15 hp more than in the sedan). The engine itself is pushed far back in the wheelbase to produce a "front mid-ship" layout and a 52/48 weight distribution. To no one's surprise, the suspension is mostly carried over from the sedan, with multi-link systems front and back and with four-wheel, ABS-equipped disc brakes.
Infiniti showed its new G35 two-door Sport Coupe, which looks spookily like a new Nissan Z-Car, at March's New York Auto Show. But while the rear-drive G35 coupe shares much with the Z-Car, the Infiniti is a 2+2 while the 350Z is a pure two-seater. But they're close-real close-in appearance. The G35 Coupe is offered in two models. The luxury version comes wearing P225/50VR17s up front and P235/50VR17s in the back. Front P225/45WR18 and rear P245/45WR18 tires on the appropriate wheels are available on the sport version. A Brembo oversized brake package will also be an available option on the sport.
With its squat, almost mean, appearance (at 71.5 in., the Sport Coupe is 2.6-in. wider than the sedan), knife-edged Xenon headlights and LED taillights, the G35 coupe looks an awful lot like the soon-to-appear Nissan 350Z.
The most interesting thing about the G35 Sport Coupe is that the G35 is the Skyline in Japan. And the Skyline is, obviously, the base for that high-testosterone totem of performance, the GT-R. Imagine the G35 Sport Coupe with wider wheels and tires, some wings, an all-wheel drive system and two turbos wheezing into the V-6 and you might have the next GT-R. Or you might not. But if that's what the next GT-R is, we'd better get one in this country.
