G35 Sedan Clone by Toyota?!?!?!

It was from a long ways away, you know what they say "good from far, but far from good". I just think it is great that Nissan/Infiniti is progressive enough that other companies take design cues from them and not the other way around. I am trying to point out how great it is to own a G, other companies are taking cues from the success of our cars, I think it is great.

I think it could be argued that the G35 is a copy of the previous generation lexus GS. In the end, everything looks a bit like everything else. I have also heard it mentioned that the G35 is the sedan Porsche would make. If you took a silly putty 911 you could stretch it into a G35

I test drove one of these on my way to buying the G. to me, it looks nothing like the G. I was intrigued with the numbers it had (on paper) and thought it might be a contender during this recent new car purchase.
It drives like a reasonably quick but very large refrigerator. The dash is so big that you could play handball against it as you go down the road. I felt like I was driving an old-fogey car even though there was muscle available under my right foot. It was quiet and smooth, but rolled like a soft French pastry when pushed on an on-ramp.
Great car if you're 60, which is the average age of the Avalon driver. This car will lure some younger buyers, but in person it looks nothing like a G to me. I liked the car and added it to list of possibles to buy if I live to see my retirement (around age 80 perhaps). LOL..
