I'm still surprise people sell their g35s for cheap. I personally feel like this car (when taken care of properly" this old still looks and perform well. I Wish that these cars held a better value even though I don't plan on ever selling mine.

 

I agree... As many other cars that I plan on owning in the near future, my G will never be sold. It was the car I spent all my pennies saved on and I'll never get rid of it. Can't wait for the new Q60 coupe to come out already!

 

its a 14 year old car, its the next Civic

 

Civic? Nah, that's going too far. HAHA.

 

It's been like this for years now....

 

Well if you pay $9k for a 03-04 civic that's on you... I wouldn't put a civic and a G35 in the same category.

 

You dont get the point. The point is the Gs are very cheap and are everywhere, same way Civics were back in early 2000.

 

It's still not the same tho. The point of the civic was that it was a light econobox with a very high HP/L ratio, that's why they were popular. Thats actually a creative way of hot rodding. The Gs fate is actually worse (in the sense of young buyers), cuz now you have a car that was supposed to be nice and had decent HP from the start so these guys don't have to "hot rod" it. They just slap a spoiler and some vossens on it, cut off the muffler and all the sudden they're fast and furious. I get that there were kids who did that to the civic too, but the few that made nice and fast civics had much more work to do than the ones who make a nice/fast G.

I get your comparison, but I think the younger G owners are much douchier than the civic crowd of yesteryear. The young G crowd is much more comparable to the IROC kids from the late 80s early 90s.

Sorry but Civics were never nice and fast, and never will be

no shiit, I hate my G now when I see a 16 year old driving one.

 

I know they were never nice and fast, that's exactly my point. There were some people who made them that way and it actually took work to do so because they started out as econoboxs. However, Honda used to make engines that pumped out 100hp per litre which is an engineering feat that no one else could match. That's why they were a hit as mini hotrods. Imagine the G could do that; 350hp from a 3.5 litre motor? Anyway, point is that G35 kids are much bigger douche bags then the younger civic drivers were. The G can't be seen as the civic just cuz kids like it. That happens to every decent mass production car that turns 10yrs old. Happened to camaro, Mustang, Nova, eclipse, RSX, Integra.. The list goes on. I'm just saying you gotta consider the class of car before making a direct comparison.

 

Let's find you some wheels babyboi

 

Nailed it. Go lurk on every car forum out there, when the car reaches that 10 year or sub-$15k mark, people start whining about "x car is becoming the new civic." Seriously, nothing will ever really become the next 90s Civic. There's too many cars to choose from these days and nothing stands out in popularity and cheap fun like the Civic did in it's hayday.

The phrase "x is the new Civic" is about a played out as LED windshield squirters, neon underglow, vinyl graphic stickers, 6" exhaust tips, and 18" subwoofers.

 

When did LED squirters go out of style?

 

Right after the cop told me to turn them off for being blue.
