2009 Infiniti G37 Sedan (Europe)

Both cars are G-cars, why should one be better than the other? One is a sports coupe, one is a sports sedan. Guess what? They are both sitting on the same frame. The new E92 M3 comes in both coupe and sedan fashion. Im pretty positive they both perform identical. Just because the coupe is "sportier" looking, why should it HAVE to perform better?

Thoughts? Did I completely miss something?
Thanks.

I just find it hard to believe that Infiniti would replace the rocker switches for the seat heaters simply "because they look cheap and European buyers will be put off by them" when Nissan is about as chang as you can be when it comes to cost cutting. To me, there are other things in the cabin that could use some sprucing up before the two seat heater switches.

For the record, I've test drove a G37 during my first oil change. The dealer asked if I wanted to drive one to kill time. It has far better steering than my car at low speeds (steering was more light and responsive...much like in the 335i). Handling was better and the brakes felt better but not sure if they actually were.
I don't get why they'd put in the 3.7L but leave HP unchanged (310PS = 306 hp). How much torque does it push? I doubt its enough to match the acceleration of the 335i.
As for the G35's pricing. For the most part, its in line with the offers of Audi and Mercedes. BMW just gets expensive once you start adding the options.
