That's cool. A large % of people who buy the sedan are middle age or above and don't drive like some of us.

i didn;t r4ead the article, but are you sure they aren't talking about the new gen G35? The new one gets better crash saftey ratings. 1st gens are good in front impact, but are marginal/poor in side and rear impact!!!

Just read the report from the Insurance Institute for Highway Saftey and they are talking about the 2003-2004 models.
