G35 sedan vs BMW 550i

Thats why I love my G, The guy with a 75g car doesnt really have double the staff I have in my car. He probably has more room, somewhat more perfomance from the V8 engine, but that is certainly not worth the difference in $ difference. 20k of that difference is probably the BMW badge. I pat myself on the back for sunce a wise purchase, money well spent IMO

1) The guy with the 550i could care less about what his bang per buck is relative to the G.
2) By your logic, all the new Hyundai Coupe crowd is going to have a field day with their purchase vs yours.

And yes, if the guy in the 550i can afford it, then he probably doesn't care about bang for the buck!

I would throw both your arguments on 2 & 1 to the Hyundai coupe scenario.
Its a good way to prove your point though. However, I am comparing up, I am the reference point here. The thinking you presented is of someone who owns the 550i, I dont and I certainly am not going to try. If I am patting myself on the back that my car is priced right since I looked at the 550i and noted the differences in my original post, there is nothing wrong with that. Maybe if my income goes up to the level where I can afford a 550i, I will present your argument but for now, ............

Again, I am the reference point. I cannot think for the Hyundai coupe guys, its a free country, there are entitled to their opinion.
I think we can end this at that. We are here for the G I would like to see the G beat the 550i in the race, lets see if it happens

Well...actually if you compare numbers, the 550 is less than 4 inches longer than the G, less than 3" wider, almost exaclty as high, but weights about 250+ pounds more. Other parts are very close as well...
My point is - we're not as far apart as the last gen. We're definately bigger than the 3 and should not be compared to it really. The way they classify cars to compare really should be re-thought. Is it size, model or price...any or all of the above. If you did a compare of the G to the 5, the 5 might win on some technical points, but feature for dollar to HP and we'd definately be a ringer.
