M35 or M45 would be a beast option, I forgot about those.

If you have a child, I doubt you'll be happy with a G35 coupe. It will get very tiring after a while.
I concur, I treat my coupe as a 2 seater as well. I don't like having another person in the seat behind me because it is too much of a pain. I strongly suggest that if you're giving up your Z for a G for baby reasons, you're much better with a sedan. Much more logical.

I'd suggest you take a baby seat with you so you can experience first hand how much of a pain it is to put it in and take it out. Of course, you can leave the baby seat attached at all times, but then imagine trying to fit your child in, especially if the seat is facing back, as it is the law for newborns.

And once you move from a baby car seat to a toddler car seat or a booster, they don't quite fit on the seat properly.

Seriously, if you can afford it, keep the Z, buy a sedan. A G is cool of your kids are past a certain age and size. My 7 yo fits perfectly in the back seat without the booster seat; the booster doesn't sit flat on the G's backseat.

HAHAHA... Actually, i have a 98 ML320 which I could use. The thing is, it already has 140k miles on it and i'm worried that something else might die on it, so I only use it on the weekends when I need to pick up groceries or mulch or whatever. My other option was to sell the ML and get another SUV, which I could use when I have to pick up the baby... but I'm not totally sold on that option. I'll be checking out the G tomorrow, so we'll see...
