I bought the sedan because I saw it at a local dealership, loved it and could easily afford it. Had I driven by that day and seen a coupe, things may have been different.

I feel that I've made the right choice because mine is an X, which, having had to battle the last three New England winters in a RWD Charger, will be a very, very nice change.

the sedan has much more of a grandfathered look while the coupe is still a young buck

In response to a few arguments I evoked:

Really, the Z doesn't even fall into that category, because there's more fun to be had for cheaper with something like a V8 Mustang.

And technically, even THAT doesn't fit, because if you're buying a car for fun and to be dead sexy, you should be buying an Elise.
Well I had a few criteria to meet with my impractical fun car: in my price range, good platform for modding, rwd, manual, newer/low mileage, preferably jdm, and SEXY!! There are few cars that fit description. Obviously the mustang and elise do not. The z is a good argument but honestly I think they're hideous in comparison to our cars for very minimal performance enhancements. The G sedan didn't visually float my boat either so it was pretty much between a G coupe or an s2k. However the s2k really only looks good with the top down (imo) and I live in Seattle... My decision was easy at that point.

Honestly... I actually agree with you. That's the one part of my car that I really don't like. However there are a couple aftermarket bumpers that reduce the bulbousness to an acceptible level so it's not an issue for me. And until I get around to doing it, at least it's in the back of my car so I don't have to look at it very often.

The truth is that I picked my car because it has adequate stock performance with lot's of room for improvement and I think the body style is one of the best looking cars (especially for the money) on the road. I have nothing against the sedans. In fact my mom has one! They're great cars but the coupe just seemed to fit my personality better, so I went for it.

I am so glad I am not car picky.... I'd rock a Pontiac Aztek (easily one of the ugliest cars on the road) if I had to lol.

I talk to so many people who wont buy cars over the stupidest, littlest minutist details that I just want to facepalm. "The headlights are too big" "The trunk is to long" blah blah. If the car flows, I'll drive it lol.

Would you also be willing to spend hard earned cash on car payments for such cars as well?

If I was told I had to drive an Aztek, I'd rather just be shot in the face.

Hell no! And thats what I was going to get to. But on a car like the G sedan (which many coupe drivers seem to loathe...) which isn't even BAD looking (and looks freaking awesome IMO...) I don't get why they have such strong opinions? Maybe I am just the least picky person, but like I said, I'd drive an Aztek if I had to. I'd just get over the fact that its ugly.

On a G sedan, i'd just rock it because it is sick.

this is ridiculous... seriously, how many sedan vs coupe threads do we really need???

This stupid debate has been going on for years - what's sad is; it's not unlike Ford vs Chevy - but in this case its the same make.

Get over it everyone... if there was ONE car that EVERYONE liked - we wouldn't have this thread or this forum or this industry... who gives a crap what the other guy likes???

It goes without saying - someone's G (whether it be a sedan or a coupe) is better than yours... goes for just about everyone on the planet... it wont change so there is no need for these threads.

Good call
