4% interest is pretty good in this day.


Good luck with your new coupe. I wish i could have gone with a coupe, but i needed AWD for winter.

there's really no point in going from an 03 to an 05...they look the same. if you want a new g35 go 07, its practically a g37

Except it's missing the most important parts.

The 3.7L and the 7-spd auto

Performance? The cars dyno within 5whp of each other and the 05/06s have about 80-100lbs on the 03/04 cars. Braking numbers are the same as are handling numbers. I agree though, the interior is better as is the exterior except for lack of the Nismo front end option. The Nismo front lip of the 05/06s looks tacky.

I prefer the 05/06 as well, but this is purely an opinion thing...so i won't go into my reasons why

I like the hood lines of the 03 04 much better than the plain 05 06 hood

I can agree with this...I would like even more the 05 front with 03 hood.

Not me. I like the smoother 05-06 hood rather than the "bump" in the center of the 03-04 hood.

But like i said...that's opinion

^I agree. I like the smoothness over the bump.

I also like our headlights better.

Oh I like the entire front end better except the hood...I think the bump looks sexy.

I like how the turn signal functions as the parking lamp. I like to drive around on cloudy days or at dusk with just the parking lamps on. Really looks good on an all black car.

i've rode in both. they are pretty much the same on the interior minus the arm rest on the 05.

put the extra 10k you're tacking onto your loan into an FI system. Going from 03 to 07 is one thing...03 to 05 is like putting a new bumper, projector lights, and an armrest on an 03.
