Crazy. Any coupe owner who thinks he can clown on the sedans is just plain wrong. No doubt its the better looking car, but when somebody hands out a "nice car" compliment to a fellow G driver and gets dogged, that's not right

When I said stupid comment--I was talking about the coupe driver's comment. I call it the coupe mentality--that no matter if you drive a 12.8 sec $80K sedan--a coupe mentality driver will call you out for it having 2 xtra doors.

It's attitudes like this that keep me out of the coupe forum most of the time.

Ever notice all the posts asking about wheel offsets, or other model specific questions? The coupe owners don't even write they have a coupe. They just assume everybody has a coupe. How arrogant. Most of the time sedan owners will specify they have a sedan when asking about something that is model specific.

And for all you guys that stated a coupe is better looking than the sedan like it's fact. Speak for yourselves gentlemen, I prefer the sedan by far.

My bad.

If the sedan had the fender bulges of the coupe, it would be one of the most sexy sedans ever made. Take a look at the new Lexus IS. It has the fender bulges the G sedan should have had.

When I was doing my research it was my understanding that the coupe and the sedan where pretty much even as far as get up and go was concerned (2005 models). I thought that a large part of the difference was that the coupe was more stable in the corners. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

I'm with you. I just cannot get past that fat lip rear bumper when viewed from behind. Besides that the coupe surely is a pretty car. Regardless though, I still like the look of the sedan much better.

It's funny how a 0.2 second advantage in 0-60 times gets magnified by a lot of coupe drivers.

Agree. That's why I own one. Not only can it haul a$$, it can haul stuff while it's hauling a$$.

You can't always have the fastest car. There's always someone faster.

Certainly was a dick move by that coupe owner. Not everyone can afford a really fast car. And in the grand scheme of things, 0.2 seconds is nothing. I'd say it's almost dead-even...all it takes is a bad launch or a slightly late or early shift to close the gap.
