When she saw the G, she immediately fell in love and wouldn't compromise for anything else.
I'm trying to convince her to trade it in and get a Altima coupe or something more efficient since she commutes pretty far to work, or at least a g35X for the winters.

Dude, it's kinda like you said, though I will expand on it for you and your girl:
You're both driving a BEAST!! With a jumpy throttle, at that.
Don't we love it?
Toyota-Lexus? They fell off in the late 90s when they decided to scrap Supras, though they seem to be waking up of late.
In fact, had a current generation Lexus ES 350 trying to run with me yesterday..............left 'im somewhere back in the horizon, which begs the question:
Is Lexus the car of the girly man? (Exception: The Brutal IS-F that I want; maybe the LS 460 Sport. Like I said, waking up of late.
.)
He gone!

Today I drove my dad's Lexus and I notice how smooth start up and shut downs are. Not single movement in the car at all.
My G and my girlfriends G both start up so aggressively. I feel as if Something is going to break like a motor mount or something when it turns over.
It fires up so manly...
Thoughts, comments?

Totally. I had a fun run in the other day.. I was taking in my dad's car for some maintenance at the Lexus dealership last week. So I pull up.. dads Lexus LS430 (big boat of a car), and I notice an older gentleman leaving the dealership. A moment later I hear this crazy loud sound (like a bear going through a tree shredder), I turn around.. and it's the old dude in a newer mustang (which must have been fairly built). It was just so wrong to me... I wonder if he swung by the highschools on his way home to honk at the girls... *laughs*
I hope not 
It just felt very odd with me pulling up in a luxury sedan, and seeing this guy (who looks like he belongs in a luxury sedan) getting in a banshee of a mustang.
Ahh.. It was..
you see... I.. err...

I wish my G35 started with just one turn of the key, and not have to hold it for 2 seconds until it does. All new cars start with just a flip of the key. Sometimes I feel like a noob when I go to start it and I dont hold the key long enough and it stalls.
LOL, you guys crack me up...I would bet I'm older than most but not as old as some and I can promise you its in your blood or its not. I will be 80 still racing people in a Porsche...Promise you that. Cars have been in my blood since I was a tike and it has never gotten better. In fact I loved it so much I started a company that’s all I did was build big boy toys. Best part was I looked like I stole what I drove...
As far as starting up...Um, you haven't seen rough! The G is not an Acura but it is pretty damn compliant as compared to some cars. I have a crabby beeech in the garage that doesn't like to wake very easily. But when she does..

I always thought my car's battery was about to go. I'd gone so far as to price a new bat and get ready to buy when i found a thread similar to this. They just start like they are moving a mountain.
A lot of people, especially when commenting on what they like most about their cars, talk about the sound of a g35 starting with a warm engine. I like the sound, but I like the sound of 3500-4500 rpms more.

my old 02 IS300 single turbo didn't start up smooth 
-- but yeah, mine starts up a bit boomyish, but whatever.
Talk about a smooth start up, I drove a prius today for fun, actually.. it wasn't fun. Too quiet. Way too quiet, even a silent fart wouldn't escape from there.

The G definately has a lil bark to it on startup...
