My sedan was able to fit all of this plus some groceries on our vacation last year. Let's see a coupe do that

Sorry, I was just poking fun at your typo " ...hauling 3 sets of gold clubs,...".
Nevermind.

with a baby on the way I really had no choice. I love my sedan, but i would take a coupe in a heartbeat if i could. But family > car so oh well.

fyi, the g coupe has more interior room and backseat space then a lexus is350 so there u go. I dont know why any idiot would buy that car over a g coupe.

Why? Because sedans aren't as heavily modded, and when they do, they stand out so much more.

Fantastic answer...Well put

I too got the sedan because of kids. The coupe won me over @ the showroom, but I love my sedan 100% now that I own it....
im definitely shorter than you but im not a small guy.. im 5'10" 180 lbs.. i have the child seats facing forward.. i dont think id have room if i had it faing the rear.. its not like i drive kids everyday... its my nehpews that i fit back there every now and then and i dont need to move my seat either.

My answer? Because I've always wanted a sport sedan. And if the G sedan is mechanically identical to a coupe (or 350Z for that matter) plus more interior space, a couple more power windows, and $2000 less, WHY WOULDN'T I BUY A SEDAN?

I got a sedan instead of a coupe because at the time it was 1.9% APR, a few thousands less, and wanted a 4 door as my last car was a 2dr...

That's funny...how do you know how tall I am???

I'm 5'-9 1/2" and weigh 170.......and I consider myself somewhat of a small guy (average).... Kinda funny that we're pretty much the same build, but you think you're "big".....

Personally, I picked up the sedan because I found it practical. My last vehicle being a 00 Tahoe. I didn't see how driving that big thing was practical. It was at the time when I used to pick up a bunch of friends and go out to bars/clubs practically every weekend. All of which was cut short after I switched jobs and got a new schedule. Parking was a small issue too, trying to find parking for the Tahoe so that nobody would hit it was sometimes a pain.

Whenever someone asks "why a sedan?" I look at them ask, ask why not? Both the coupe and sedan is practically the same car. Just that the sedan looks a whole hell of a lot better. Besides, I think a VIP style G35 sedan would look damn sexy.

Less expensive, and hell of a deal at the time. I wasn't looking for another money pit/modding disease like my cobra. Also, don't feel like I am in a hurry all the time and comfortable on longer trips.

Bought the sedan because it was more practical. Had a baby on the way, already here now, and wanted the convenience of a 4 door.

he didnt say he's "big"... he said he's "not small"... considering 5'10" is about avg I'd say it a fair statement... not big and not small.
