Athens Blue G35C
Athens Blue G35C
Just saw this car in person today with 19" rims:
Color: Quite dissapointed with the color. If CB is the summer bikini and TB is midnight lingerie, Athens Blue is like a standard sweatshirt. The color does not stand out, it doesn't shine like the CB, no two tone coloration, nowhere as dark as TB, looks conservative and alittle boring. Quite a contrast to the last two blues offered on the G35C.
Interior: Nice improvement in the front seats, rear seats are still same old. Telescoping steering wheel, power recline = luxury but added weight. New center console = more upscale but dents easily.
Wheels: The new wheels look better in person, but not as graceful as the older 18". They are forged but not made by Rays. I have no idea how much they weight though. Overall I am not sure if they are worth $1600 Infiniti is asking for. Calculating edge-weighted rotational mass, the new wheels will have to be under 19lbs each to give any performance benefit. The new tires are Bridgestone RE050, I am not sure how these compare to the Pilot Sports.
