Why the G Coupe and not a Z?
i had 2 reasons for g over z.
1. the tire feathering problem has not been resolved yet. if you do not know about this, do search on my350z.com forum.
2. 2 seater = high insurance cost.
call me cheap, but i dont want to waste money on tires and insurance.

One reason, pure and simple:
Back Seat.
Expecially since there are already two other cars in my driveway that are two seaters, that is extremely impractical as it is.
If I didn't need a backseat, I would have gotten a 350Z in an instant.

To me, the G is more sleek. I hear the Z called "flashy" and "sporty" on a daily basis, and the G is called "Sexy" and "Smooth".
The G is a good choice to get away from the boy-racer image.
Back seats are a must for me.
Where I live, there are a ton of Z's everywhere.

G advantages over Z:
Better looking and classier
Better rear end
2+2
LED taillights
Better interior
Better warranty
Better resale
Better safety (longer in length= more crash protection)
Smoother ride- doesn't beat you up as much as Z
Dealers give loaner cars
Front tire feathering problem not as prevalent
Less common
Better Infiniti service vs Nissan service

Infiniti made the Coupe higher because it is not a pure sports coupe. It is luxury/sports coupe.

I was about to purchase a 05 350Z touring but I realized that the car is cramped and it does not have any useable trunk space (the G35 is not that much better).
Other reasons:
1. Looks
2. Resale value
3. Skyline heritage
I think thats it!

They still don't believe that they can fit two in there tho.
1. G35 coupe's wheelbase extension by 8 inches increases stability at higher speeds and keeps the car more in line and less jumpy than the shorter Z chassis.
2. G35 couep = LONGER WHEELBASE = MORE LEGROOM
3. G coupe looks like a million bucks, Z car looks like a half-mil.
Oh yeah and of course, exclusivity and looks of awe constantly.

I agree 03 04 interiors are not that much better than those of a Z (I even like the 03/04 interior more than the 06's Z interior). 05, on the other hand, the interior is much much better than the Z. Look at the door panels in the Z, all plastic and no detail to them, just flat.
I did consider a Z, in fact, I wanted one. But...
* G35 = C&D 10 best cars
* Looks better from behind (Z looks better from the front) and from the sides
* Infiniti > Nissan
* 2 seats in the back (My father didnt want to "spend so much money on a motorcycle")
* Less amount of them (at least in Florida).

1) Back Seat
2) Trunk
3) Much better looking exterior
4) Infiniti Warranty Experince (owned a '99 P11)
5) Infiniti Service
6) Interior Finishes
7) And the list could go on and on........... I seriously considered a Z but just couldn't do it.
