when the 03 G came out, its figures set the benchmark...now the numbers are just not as exciting since it only matches the lexus...and not exceeds it by 50 hp like last time!!!!

is it that complicated? the differences between cars in the G's class are pretty subtle so it is best to have a slight edge over the competition wherever possible and the original G35 was evidence of that philsophy, where as the new G seems to be falling short on a few of the points that the original G (OG if you will ) won out on.

Will it still be an affordable sedan with that much power compared to the others in its class? How much is the IS 350 again? $ forty something K? Getting my point? Maybe their technique is to leave room for improvements, marketing strategy. A little shy of the competition will force the competition to bump theirs up to stay ahead, price wise too. That leave the G affordable while sacrificing very little in performance if speed is all you care about. Remember sometimes more power is accompanied by more weight which doesn't always translate to faster car, but you already know that. Hint 05 G35 298 versus 04 with 260
wouldn't too much horsepower on the G hurt the M45's upgraded supremacy?
