I'm also going to probably buy a G35XS in next couple of months. Can anyone here post a picture or a link to pictures of the G35 interior with the sports seats???
I small 5'7" 185lbs so I'm pretty sure I will be comfortable. But hopefully before I finalize a deal I can try one for size.

Nevermind I found them.

The Infiniti website has tons of G35 interior pigs and most of there are showing sport seats.
The brochure has some good pics and also labels them so you know if it's a sport model or not.

This is why even when fully deflated, the thigh bolsters still feel very firm compared to the journey's thigh bolsters which do not have the metal support brackets.

The sport seats are amazing to me! i love them! I guess it all depends on your frame to but I'm small, so I love how the seats hug me. I guess the seats work better for us females

My thigh supports don't bother me at all now and I'm 5'9" and 230, not exactly svelt! The key for me was moving the seat back further so my legs are straighter. I move the wheel closer to me and have the car adjust the steering wheel as I exit so I can get my portly butt out of the car and everything fits fine.
