Will the G35 Coupe become timeless?
Do you think the G35 Coupe will become timeless like the Supra? Albeit the Supra came in a single turbo trim model from the factory, the G35 has more power than the N/A Supra (putting out 115 or 125 hp....can't remember exactly) and possibly the factory turbo version? I mean the G35 has great styling, one of the best ***-ends in the business, and alot of potential. All three characteristics of the Supra. Will it have that mystique the Supra has.........like it's coveted by so many people. Maybe because you don't see many of them in my area. Or maybe because prices of the Supra skyrocketed after The Fast and Furious. Just wondering.

Eh, you can say it is the American Skyline and no one understands. Do you think they'll understand that in the future? In the end it is just and overpriced Nissan.
I highly doubt even the new 350Z will be as coveted as the old 300. The car manufacturers are stepping up every new model year and it seems to me like there are too many other cars coming down the pipe to say that these cars will be forever. The STI and Evo8 are probably higher on the list. The SRT4 though won't last. It is the first of a nice breed (read early 90's American turbo cars) but won't last either.

), but it's the first of it's kind.....correct?It is in fact an overpriced Nissan, but has it's own unique styling.
Early 90's American turbo cars.........TT Grand National?

I think the biggest reason that the G might not become a classic is due soley to it's weight. Otherwise, the lines of the car almost ensure classic import status.
While I know the reasons for the 240SX's popularity, if you've seen a clean example, especially with a wide-body kit, you know how good the lines still look on that car (the rear fenders - 1/4 panels to be specific). In this day of fast model turnaround and questionable, quickly dated design fads, the lines of a car are one of the single most important factors to long-term success. That and mod-friendliness have always been key factors in cult-status cars

. The Supra is by no means a featherweight. It's basically an over-weight Celica (well not basically but you know what I mean )I mean if you wanna talk wide-bdoies, look at the Top Secret widebody for the G35. It's a very clean kit that keeps with the lines of the G35. I think the G35 will become more mod-friendly as time goes by.
Good points!
