To be frank, I dont mind having these things here too, for a couple of 100s more, why not
Touche' ... lol.
I've never really understood the price difference, it just seems like a lot to me.

And I agree with not minding having it, I just don't think it's something to complain over.

reasons why i prefer less luxurious stuff in my G

a) less weight
b) less problems and issues down the road
c) less rattles from loose junk
d) less price

i dont need any of the following: heated seats, passenger climate control, parking sensors, auto headlights, auto wipers or any other auto crap. however i'm stuck with it and I'd rather not have it from factory.

CHEER!!!!!!!!!!

I never get the junk. I'd rather spend that 4 grand on mods!
Although I do really like the safety features, like sensing before you get in an
accident etc.
Stupid you have to get a premium package for that.

I have friends who have Honda civics and cars like that, with every single bell and whistle possible and they paid as much as I did for my g35!
I think that's messed up.

Refer to my post on page 2, as I noted, Infiniti has features on the G that other cars it competes with do not have....and they're actual luxury features...not parking lights on the fenders.

I get your overall point, it wouldn't seem like it'd be that hard to incorporate those features here, but it's not as if the G is behind the times (it isn't by any means).
