Things that make you say, "How does that make sense?" about your coupe:

Here is one:

Why did the Nissan Murano get projector headlights at least 2 years before the G35 (might have been 3).

One more:

Why did Infiniti decide to put the oddest sized tires on the OEM 19's. Back Order Hell!

And one to grow on:

Why put brembo breaks on the 03/04, which are extremly strong for OEM, but then remove it for later models. Price, ummm its a 30k plus luxury sports coupe... comon... or did people really complain about them performing too well???

Actually from the numbers I've seen the stock brakes '05+ work comparably to the '03-'04 6MTs which came with Brembos. The stock brakes on '03-'04 5ATs are god-awful compared to the stock brakes Infiniti fitted all '05+ models with.

Whats wrong with the tire size? The only reason why they may be hard to find is because they're 19s. The 19s are rarer and more expensive, thats why they may be hard to find.

I think car companies make deals with tire companies--we will put a very odd sized tire on the car if you give them to us cheap so that everyone will be forced to buy your tires in the future.

I have asked this question about 2 of my own cars:

2001 Acura CLS: 215/50 stock with an 7.5" rim--can't go to 235/45 because rim is too narrow; 225/45 throws your aspect ratio way off.

2004 Z with 17" wheels: talk about weird sizes: 225/50 in the front, 235/50 in the rear. How many companies do you think make tires for this stagger??

Why is the sporty looking coupe slower than the sedan?

Why is the gas tank on the passenger side?

Why such ugly gauges ('03-'04) for such a beautiful car?
